Telecom and Infrastructure
Web-based Management and Reporting Platform
Overview
A major telecommunications provider faced challenges in managing construction closeouts, antenna platform validations, and antenna asset operations. They required a centralized solution to streamline workflows, improve data accuracy, and enhance collaboration between construction teams, contractors, and network assurance teams. This case study highlights how our consulting team addressed these needs by implementing a custom web-based portal that standardized processes, improved decision-making, and fostered seamless stakeholder collaboration.
The Challenge
The client's network infrastructure construction projects involved multiple stakeholders - construction admins, contractors, and network assurance teams - all working with different processes and systems. This fragmented approach led to several critical challenges:
- Inconsistent construction closeout documentation
- Delays in RET and E-tilt script generation
- Manual validation of antenna platform details
- Poor visibility into project status
- Communication gaps between teams
- Lack of standardized reporting
- No centralized historical data
- Quality control issues
- Inefficient data management
- Inconsistent reporting
- Limited visibility into operations
- Time-consuming manual processes
- Increased risk of errors
Key Objectives:
- Create a unified platform for construction closeout reporting and validation
- Automate RET and E-tilt script generation
- Implement robust quality control measures
- Standardize processes across all stakeholders
- Enable real-time project status tracking
- Improve collaboration between teams
- Create comprehensive audit trails
- Reduce project completion times
