Telecommunication companies are faced with daily challenges on how to manage increasingly complex conduit and duct systems. The decision where to rollout networks first has an enormous impact on the organization. Geographic locations, as well as the package of services, are the two most crucial decision points in a telecommunication or location service business. The combination of the appropriate groups of business and consumers, existing infrastructure, and right-of-ways creates a location-based decision process, a process that GIS can enhance and simplify. Faster Network Rollout Once strategic network deployment decisions are made, enterprise GIS streamlines the organization. GIS greatly reduces the number of meetings between departments during the process because the status of network rollout is constantly available to all parties concerned. Competitive Advantage Better decisions and faster rollout enable the organization to capitalize on new telecommunication and location service technologies. The fastest and easiest way to gain market share is to offer a service before competitors do. Enterprise GIS enables just that.
