Making the Right Decisions

Meeting the Objective

What are we trying to accomplish?

• Identify the long term goal

• Develop standard tasks, workflows, and processes

• Establish visual controls to communicate information

• Leverage technology to balance the workload

• Trust the well tested workflows and processes

Modeling Inside Plant Fiber Optics

Establish a clear picture of the existing fiber optics network both inside and

outside plant by leveraging logical and organized modeling for our data

analysis, planning, design and enhancement of the network.

Modeling Inside Plant Fiber Optics

How do we get there?

• Understand the existing workflows

• Review and cleanse current data

• Audit the infrastructure

• Select the modeling platform

• Construct the digital model

• Establish new / modified workflows

• Train the consumers
