Advantages of Using a

Functionally Aligned Structure

* Team alignment provides PD-wide standardization

* Teams support the SLA, rather than the customer drives the teams.

* Developing economies of scale is easy.

* Customers manage the service level to a single point of contact

* Service load management and resource leveling becomes a reality

* Surge capacity response becomes a reality

* PD-wide collaboration increases

* Teams still provide programmatic support
