For those of you that have been in the telecom industry for some time, the following story will more than likely resonate with your own experience. I was introduced to 3-GIS through one of its owners, Tom Counts, and was intrigued with the niche that they had built for themselves specifically in the fiber market.
If you work for a telco and have needed to track your network assets in a centralized way, you may have used Ericsson Network Engineer (ENE) or similar software solution. ENE and many other solutions that rely on Esri technology use geodatabase versioning technology to manage transactions. Versioning facilitates long transactions by allowing editors to work isolated within their own version of the geodatabase and across multiple editing sessions.
Welcome to the 2023 Q2 edition of Along the Path. In this edition, we discuss why user-friendly interfaces, intuitive workflows, and simplified operations are fundamental components in network management.
As I approach my ten-year anniversary at 3-GIS I have spent some time reflecting on the journey. Many of you may not be aware of this, but I did not start my career supporting the Telecom industry. As a matter of fact, my first job was converting water and electric utility CAD and billing systems to GIS-enabled platforms. From there I worked on large Superfund remediation programs and permitting for trash incinerators which, strangely enough, led me to focus on transportation engineering and mining exploration. From there I had the honor of supporting our warfighters and intelligence communities by providing mapping and innovative GIS application solutions. While this career journey has been somewhat circuitous, I am truly thankful for the wisdom and experience that has been imparted to me along the way.
To be competitive in the telecommunications landscape today providers rely on workflow processes and systems that integrate information across the company to support running the business efficiently. A GIS-based network management system provides telecommunication providers with many key benefits in this ever-changing industry. The GIS system allows providers to build a digital replica of the physical connected network to support all aspects of the business including operations, planning, engineering, provisioning, sales, marketing, and finance. This digital replica of the network enables collaboration across departments providing timely and fact-based information to support better decision making on financial investments, reducing operational costs, and improving customer satisfaction.
Strategic partnership supports growing demand for an Esri-based GIS platform, replacing legacy Ericsson Network Engineer system within Middle East Region
Welcome to the 2023 Q1 edition of Along the Path. In this edition, we dive into field mobility and how directly connecting network data to field crews can boost efficiency throughout the entire enterprise.
Creating content that stands out online can be tough, especially as digital content continues to grow as the medium of choice. Choosing topics that resonate with the audience may be able to catch their attention, but telling a story that engages and holds their attention presents another challenge. In response, several companies have put increased effort into creating interactive content–such as having viewers choose which version of an ad they view–while others have developed ways to allow for easier delivery of captivating content. One company you may be surprised to learn has supplied a platform for interactive storytelling is Esri.
Esri’s ArcGIS StoryMaps allow authors to create an immersive experience for the audience, using various forms of media and spatial data to enhance the narrative. Built in guides help ensure stories can be easily ingested by users whether on a desktop or mobile device, and publishing updates is seamless with no downtime involved.
