GIS/NE Last mile Engineering
When I said that both BSS and OSS team wanted the address data base of every city that too with potential value proposition, let us look at ,what factors they were looking from business angle and services?
Business group gave us the probable pockets in a city but were looking for arriving at the listing of potential customers, their address location, number of tenements in a building, number of storeys etc. When it came to OSS, they were looking for density in a building, spread area of that building, height of the building, if feasible approach road/path data from the nearest tower pole etc.
The business group used that information for forecast and begin canvassing with would be customer.
Whereas OSS group for Last mile engineering planning wanted that information badly for arriving at cable routing, selection of the devices to be installed where Fiber to Copper cable change over to take place etc. Keeping all these into consideration we developed a detailed XL spread sheet. On trial basis, we engaged two local parties in Mumbai- M/S BonAce & PowerTec and gave them to carry out pilot trials for data collection. Their first output was shared with both the business group and network planning group for last mile- M/S KH Mankad & Vipin Jain. The client teams were so pleased that they jumped with joy!
Since the trial exercise was successful, we asked these two parties to go to every state and train the local agencies & asked our State GIS Leads to supervise and manage the data accumulation. That process went on and we could collect the address data for 212 cities over a period. The selection of city for last mile engineering was prioritized by the business group inputs. In the bargain, GIS/NE group became an intermediary for business development and customer service provisioning.
In the process, GIS/NE server became the channel for final customer provisioning! Our Oracle expert Arunmoi with Milind and Jaydip used to face the SOS calls from every state daily that too after 7PM to rescue them and ensure bulk provisioning of service for end customers in their cities. Though that was causing stress and tension to the team, the leaders used to pacify the working team members to identify the trouble in data base uploading and sort out then&there. So that was one more feather in GIS/NE group cap!
Once this process and procedure was streamlined, the NE group could not keep quiet! Typical of Milind and Jaydip, they were looking for What next? After a few days , they came out with an idea to develop maintenance application. As all of them are electrical and instrument engineers, their focus fell on cable cut management! That is quite an invention and world GIS &Telecomm group appreciated and rewarded Reliance at San Diego in 2003.
The development of that application is dealt in next...
