Challenges
Limited understanding of how the software works.
Inconsistent data submissions and errors in documentation.
Lack of a structured process for data checks and submissions.
Solutions
Speer IT provided a workshop to subcontractors on the Cocon Fiber software and the CTTH data verification process, ensuring they understood how to collect the network data Unifiber needs and add it and manage data accurately into Cocon.
Yungo developed a structured workflow to check the submitted data and verify it, in case of discrepancies.
Results
The result was a significant improvement in how Unifiber’s new network areas were documented and integrated into the Cocon environment.
A Streamlined Process for Fiber Network Documentation
Efficient network management begins with accurate documentation. For Unifiber, a leading telecom network owner, this principle is critical to achieve their mission of expanding and maintaining a robust telecom infrastructure.
One challenge in this process is how to train the subcontractors in the process of submitting comprehensive and accurate network data. A reliable digital twin of every network is crucial for efficient fiber management, which is why Unifiber relies on the stringent data recording and verification processes in Cocon for their fiber network asset management.
To ensure accurate documentation and smooth operations, Unifiber turned to the expertise and innovative thinking of Yungo and the technical solutions provided by Speer IT.
Laying the Foundation: A Collaborative Solution
Cocon Fiber provided by Speer IT serves as the backbone for managing Unifiber's fiber network assets. For subcontractors unfamiliar with this level of digital twinning, there can be obstacles to providing correct data, including:
- Limited understanding of how the software works.
- Inconsistent data submissions and errors in documentation.
- Lack of a structured process for data checks and submissions.
The solution? A collaborative effort between Yungo and Speer IT to address these challenges:
- Speer IT provided a workshop to subcontractors on the Cocon Fiber software and the CTTH data verification process, ensuring they understood how to collect the network data Unifiber needs and add it and manage data accurately into Cocon.
- Yungo developed a structured workflow to check the submitted data and verify it, in case of discrepancies.
Real-World Application: Making the Process Work
One of the most notable successes of this collaboration was the improvement in data submission and analysis.
“We worked closely with the subcontractors, identifying discrepancies, supporting with correcting errors, and setting up a seamless process,” explains Olha Almashy, Yungo Project Leader
The result was a significant improvement in how Unifiber’s new network areas were documented and integrated into the Cocon environment.
Streamlined Operations
The efforts of Yungo and Speer IT enabled Unifiber to achieve:
- Consistency: A more standardized process for subcontractors to follow.
- Accuracy: Errors and discrepancies in the documentation were minimized.
- Efficiency: The time required to submit and verify data was significantly reduced.
This streamlined approach ensures that Unifiber can rely on accurate and up-to-date network documentation for its operations and future planning.
Looking Forward: Leveraging Innovation for Growth
One of the most exciting outcomes of this collaboration was the adaptability of all the parties involved, which allowed for real-time problem-solving. For instance, if a subcontractor encountered an issue while submitting data, they could propose adjustments and receive feedback within a few days. This improved the learning curve and ensured data accuracy.
Fully Embedded for Daily Success
The newly established process is now fully integrated into Unifiber’s operations. The Cocon Fiber software is actively used by planning, deployment, and documentation teams, enabling better decision-making and network expansion strategies.
Conclusion: A Partnership for Success
The collaboration between Unifiber, Yungo and Speer IT showcases the power of expertise and innovation in overcoming industry challenges. Together, they’ve established a workflow of checking fiber network documentation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency while setting a strong foundation for continued success.
