The days of easily managing networks from basic spreadsheets and rudimentary databases are gone, and mistakes are more expensive than ever. Automation improves efficiency and reduces costly errors in high-frequency actions, but there are some other big reasons to consider fully automating your network resource management.
1 Faster ROI: Market while you build it
Rollout projects are now larger and more complex, and network owners need to prioritize to speed up orderability rather than wait for the final delivery. Monitoring the construction phase in detail with your resource management system with real-time synchronization of status and availability for every connection gives your active operators and ISPs the earliest possible access for placing (pre-)orders for connections even before the rollout is complete.
2 Faster rollouts
Automating the monitoring of the construction phase also gives you detailed insights that let you track important milestones, orchestrate activities, anticipate problems and take action to avoid potential delays. A comprehensive network resource management system gives you the power to filter data and follow key indicators at multiple aggregation levels, from PoPs to prioritized commercial areas. Better insight equals more control and a faster time to market.
3 Easier communication
A single integrated system for your entire fiber network resource management that automatically generates detailed orders, tickets and task lists and synchronizes every status update across every function will save you a lot of communications hassle. No more files sent back and forth, everyone on the same page and working from the same up-to-date information.
4 Easy for sales to use
Synchronization of your connection availability status updates gives your active operators continuous access to the most up-to-date list of orderable connections. No need for manual downloads to update connection availability. No delays, no confusion and all the relevant information is right at their fingertips.
As the size and complexity of telco network infrastructure projects grow with the push to maximize fiber optic coverage, network owners have a complicated job in keeping everything in sight and under control. The final network then needs to deliver for decades to come, with maximum homes activated and minimal maintenance costs. The right network resource management system can help you make that happen.
