In the fiber network market, the winner takes all. Your business advantage depends on whether you get fiber in the ground faster than your competition. But it isn’t enough just to be fast. Every day you spend passing data back and forth between your construction and operations teams, is a day you lose revenue and add vulnerabilities to your data. That’s why so many service providers are transforming the way they build their networks.

With 3-GIS, the traditional engineering process for delivering networks has been revolutionized to create a single system of record for network operations in real-time and at scale. It is a business model that solves getting circuits activated quicker, immediately seeing the design impacts on the active network, and maintaining a high level of accuracy and standardization.
