Bluepeak, a leading provider of fiber optic internet services in the Great Plains Region, faced challenges managing their growing fiber network of over 140,000 new homes.
The Challenge:
Their legacy system relied on manual processes like spreadsheets and CAD maps, making it difficult to track network assets, integrate with other business systems, and support their rapid expansion.
The Solution:
Bluepeak sought a solution that addressed their challenges. Their current architecture contained multiple systems and they realized that poor integration between core systems can lead to inefficient workflows, redundant data entry, and a higher risk of errors. They also had multiple legacy data types (cad maps and spreadsheets) and formats which created data silos, hindering the ability to extract meaningful insights and make informed business decisions.
Although Bluepeak’s rapid network expansion highlighted their success, it also had the potential to strain the capacity of existing systems and processes, raising concerns about performance bottlenecks, service disruptions, and an inability to capitalize on growth opportunities.
After evaluating various options, Bluepeak chose VETRO’s fiber management platform due to its:
Open API architecture: Facilitating smooth integration with Bluepeak’s existing tools.
User-friendly interface: Enabling easy data import and management.
Commitment to continuous improvement: Ensuring the platform keeps pace with evolving needs.
“VETRO continues to upgrade its platform and adding on new features to make the tool even more useful. Their support is also helpful and they meet with us regularly to discuss issues as well as upcoming enhancements.”
The Results:
Bluepeak successfully implemented VETRO within a 6-month timeframe, achieving the following results:
Improved system of record: VETRO provides a centralized, accurate source of truth for Bluepeak’s fiber network data.
Enhanced employee productivity: Streamlined data management processes free up employee time for other critical tasks.
Stronger collaboration: Consulting firms can now directly access and contribute to network data through VETRO.
Elcock explains “We are slowly getting our legacy data into VETRO which makes managing a fiber network substantially easier and makes splicing and documentation a breeze.”
Looking ahead, Bluepeak anticipates VETRO will further contribute to their success by facilitating a faster time to market considering an efficient network management enables quicker deployment of new services. VETRO’s scalable platform can accommodate Bluepeak’s expanding fiber footprint and continued growth.
By implementing VETRO’s fiber management platform, Bluepeak has gained a centralized, integrated solution to manage their growing network and streamline their operations. This case study demonstrates the value VETRO can deliver to communication service providers seeking to optimize their fiber network management and achieve their business objectives.
