One of the nation's largest utility companies, serving millions across multiple states, has selected 3-GIS to consolidate its fiber plant data into a unified platform. When an industry leader of this magnitude undertakes a significant operational upgrade, they often face numerous complexities. In this case, the utility company encountered several challenges in managing their extensive fiber network infrastructure, including:
> Inefficiencies from using multiple, disparate management systems including OSPInsight and CrescentLink- Lack of visibility across different business units
- Inconsistent data leading to operational frustrations
- Need for a common source of all fiber plant data
- Desire to support planning, design, engineering, construction, and asset management activities within a single system
The utility company's primary goal was to replace two legacy systems with a single, comprehensive solution. After a rigorous evaluation process, they chose 3-GIS | Web to address these challenges. The platform's ability to consolidate data into a cohesive system will help eliminate inconsistencies, paving the way for improved decision-making and expedited fiber deployment.
3-GIS will deliver end-to-end implementation and data migration services, ensuring a cost-effective and timely transition with minimal disruption to daily operations. The project scope includes system acceptance, data migration, and full deployment, with potential for future systems integrations. The selected solution will support planning, design, engineering, construction, and asset management activities across the entire organization.
Key factors in the utility's decision were the scalability of 3-GIS | Web and its robust signal management capabilities. The platform's ability to increase operational efficiency and visibility across organizations aligned perfectly with the utility's goals. Significant benefits from this implementation include:
- Streamlined workflow processes, leading to faster project completion times
- Enhanced cross-departmental collaboration through shared, real-time data access
- Improved strategic planning capabilities based on comprehensive network insights
- Accelerated service deployment and activation for new and existing customers
- Optimized resource allocation and maintenance scheduling for network assets
"This partnership showcases how our solutions extend beyond traditional telecom applications," said Patrick Vardeman, CEO of SSP Innovations. "We're enabling digital transformation that will improve operational efficiency and service delivery for millions of customers."
By choosing 3-GIS, this major utility is taking a significant step towards digital transformation, aiming to enhance service delivery across their service areas in the United States.
