Real-Time Revolution: Achieve Faster Network Deployment Leveraging Geospatial Intelligent Ecosystems

The approach to real-time data management had dramatic implications for faster network deployment, service activation and reparation, and better reporting. But what did it cost to change? Not surprising, there were hard and soft costs.

Although it seems self-evident that accurate and real-time data can provide the best operational and strategic value, it came at the expense of letting go of familiar methods and integration into existing environments. These insights are shared to help guide the costs to make the change.

Topics of discussion:

• Why has it taken so long for telecommunications to adopt a geospatial approach to building and managing their assets?
• What is the return on investment for leveraging GIS-based technology?
• How would we start down this path?
• What are some tangible approaches to consider?
• What are the motivating factors for this change to leverage GIS-based technology in telecommunications?
