The GDi Ensemble OSS Geoinfrastructure Manager (GIM), powered by Esri ArcGIS solutions, serves as the essential geographical resource catalog and inventory solution, central to network planning and design for communication service providers (CSPs). GIM efficiently organizes resource specifications and tracks the geographical attributes of assets, offering comprehensive capabilities for inventory creation, monitoring, and auditing. Its robust features enable users to manage both customer-facing and internal geographical and technical views, streamlining resource browsing, selection, and setup.
Tailored specifically for telecom network planning, design, and construction, GIM plays a critical role in supporting telecom operations. It serves diverse stakeholders within the telecom ecosystem, including network planners who shape future investments, network designers who create detailed development plans, and development teams collaborating with civil engineering and telecom installation crews. By leveraging Esri ArcGIS for geographical accuracy and precision, GIM ensures seamless coordination, documentation, and tracking throughout the network development lifecycle. This integration enhances the efficiency and reliability of telecom operations, while also enabling smooth reconciliation with other BSS and OSS systems, further optimizing network performance.
GDi Ensemble OSS Geo Infrastructure Manager (GIM) provides a centralized platform for managing the entire lifecycle of a telecom network, from initial planning and design to construction, operation, and maintenance. This centralized approach streamlines processes, improves visibility, and enhances overall network management efficiency.
With a highly configurable data model, GIM allows organizations to tailor the platform to their specific needs and requirements. This flexibility enables users to adapt the system to various network architectures, technologies, and business processes, ensuring optimal functionality and usability.
GIM offers a range of tools for both manual and automatic network design proposals, catering to different user preferences and project requirements. This versatility empowers users to choose the most suitable design approach for their projects, whether they require manual fine-tuning or automated optimization.
GDi Ensemble OSS Geo Infrastructure Manager (GIM) empowers users with sophisticated planning and forecasting capabilities, including Bill of Quantities (BoQ), Bill of Materials (BoM), and Bill of Services (BoS) functionalities. By providing detailed insights into resource requirements, costs, and project timelines, GIM enables organizations to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and accurately forecast project budgets and timelines. This enhances project efficiency, minimizes financial risks, and ensures the successful execution of telecom network projects within budget and schedule constraints.
Thorough repository encompassing all physical assets within telecom or network infrastructure, including cables, routers, and switches.
