GIS Best Practices Series: The Importance of Accurate Data Importing for Fiber Management Systems

New call-to-action

Importing data and map layers accurately into your fiber management GIS platform is crucial for efficient network management. Accurate data import is the backbone of effective fiber management. It ensures that your GIS platform is up-to-date, reflective of the physical network, and ready for various operational tasks. So why is it so important to ensure your fiber management software of choice can easily handle data importing?

Data importing can be time consuming if not handled properly. Your data is the backbone of all your operations. Whether you are importing data from Shapefiles, KML/KMZs, or GeoJSONs, getting the data into your system correctly and quickly is urgent. With VETRO, you can import your data directly into the layer(s) it is needed in, with an easy-to-use interface for mapping where the data will land.

Data import errors can result in costly delays and other losses. Mapping data to the correct layer is vital for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that it aligns with your network’s physical reality. Manually uploading multiple layers of data and then moving it into various existing layers is a tedious process that invites the possibility for manual errors (e.g. missed clicks, typos). With VETRO’s direct import feature, you can avoid errors and trust that the automated import has placed everything where it needs to be.

Data consistency is key, especially as your organization grows. We know from talking with our customers that maintaining data integrity and consistency across various datasets and sources is a major concern. Inconsistencies in the way data was uploaded creates headaches down the road, which can be compounded by events like staff turnover or the introduction of new data into existing data structures. With its attribute mapping capability, VETRO ensures your imported data aligns with your existing data structure, which helps you maintain consistency and reliability in your data.
