From planning your network, to designing it, to building it, to managing it. 3-GIS as a single system of record enables optimal performance in all phases of network development by boosting efficiency, helping define roles and responsibilities, and enabling streamlined workflows. While system configuration and workflows are vital to an efficient operation, they are also often specific to your organization's needs. Let's take a look at how one company uses 3-GIS to deploy their network from start to finish.
In the planning phase, Jeff, the network planner oversees strategic expansion of the network. He initiates the high-level design process through identifying serviceable address points to help decide when it is feasible to tie into the existing network versus leasing. He also compares the initial routing cost while identifying additional revenue opportunities. Here, Jeff uses 3-GIS Prospector to speed up routing while simultaneously finding the most optimal paths.
For network design, Lisa, the outside plant engineer determines the best way to complete build-out using existing network infrastructure. She takes the proposed routes from the planning group, the completes low level design, models network connectivity, and develops constructible plans. Here Lisa checks fiber availability and easily finds a path upon which to tie in the lateral with a single click and precise feature placement. Drafting assets is made much easier.
During build out, Frank, the construction manager extracts construction documents conducts field verification, and performs asset inspections. His group either manages the installation of assets to meet design specifications or supervises contractors tasked with installing network assets. Here Frank exports construction prints, splice sheets, and other documentation together in a neatly organized zip file making it easier to share and remain organized.
And finally, to manage the network Daniel, the GIS technician is responsible for updating records as construction is completed, including physical assets and circuit information. He follows work order progress updates as-built and reviews existing data for accuracy. By subscribing to relevant work orders. Daniel stays on task and conducts QA QC. With rules designed specifically to the organization's needs. Keeping as builds updated allows others in the organization to go see outage locations and track faults over time, all within the same system. By giving your team the tools they need to streamline their workflows. And empower them from the get-go. All phases of network development from planning to managing can be achieved efficiently and most effectively ensuring your network data is accurate and accessible. 3-GIS | Network Solutions visit us at 3-GIS.com
