Cutting-Edge Software Enhances Fiber Optic Network Documentation
Smaller telecommunications providers often face immense pressure to respond quickly to growing demands in network management, all while dealing with limited human resources. To meet these challenges, adopting advanced tools for network documentation and management is essential to maximize efficiency and automation.
The Challenge
Stadtwerke Wörgl, the municipal utility provider serving approximately 15,000 residents with electricity, water, and internet services, recognized the need for cutting-edge software The company not only operates as a utility provider but also builds and manages its own fiber optic network. Faced with the challenge of efficiently documenting its existing network and planning for future expansions, Stadtwerke sought a solution to optimize these processes while working within their available resources.
The Solution
To tackle this, Stadtwerke Wörgl focused on creating a comprehensive documentation system for its fiber optic network. The utility provider chose VertiGIS ConnectMaster, achieving complete network documentation for the first time. The telecommunications team documented both passive and active components of its physical infrastructure.
The documentation process didn’t stop there. Stadtwerke Wörgl continues to update and enhance the record as the network grows. To make data more widely accessible, the utility provider recently added ConnectMaster Online to its suite. This tool allows team members to easily access and input network information using mobile devices, providing inutuitive, real-time capabilities.
The Result
Stadtwerke Wörgl shift to advanced technology has made operations significantly more efficient and cost-effective. Repetitive tasks have been automated with ConnectMaster, reducing workload and simplifying data recording. This has freed up valuable time, which the team can now dedicate to other critical tasks.
The utility provider also benefits from a consistent, easily maintainable data set that requires minimal effort to update. All necessary information is just a few clicks away, eliminating the need for time-consuming queries. The streamlined process means errors can be identified and resolved quickly, boosting the team’s responsiveness and productivity.
The telecommunications team at Stadtwerke Wörgl is very satisfied with the improvements: “We’re a small team working in a highly professional environment. Keeping our data up-to-date and complete is very important, and VertiGIS ConnectMaster does this very well. The software is easy to use and has become an essential part of our daily workflow,” says Martin Koidl, Team Leader NT Services at Stadtwerke Wörgl.
