standardizing data reduces operational costs by 20%
TruOps® Common Language®
Communication service providers (CSPs) are faced with reducing the estimated $65 billion wasted each year due to poor internal communications, misplaced assets and scattered data. Every company in the telecommunications ecosystem from the wireless, wireline, cable or VOIP providers to the tower and data center operators continually need to be more efficient and accelerate the deployment of services. One clear way to do that is by enabling better utilization of network assets and interconnections globally.
Common Language was designed to end that waste. By allowing information to be shared across departments and vendors, it ensures everyone works together by standardizing how systems handle equipment, locations, circuit paths and service use, promoting consistency and collaboration.
eliminating customer challenges with TruOps Common Language
lack of standardization
Companies that provide communications services struggle with inconsistent naming conventions and processes, leading to operational inefficiencies and increased costs. Common Language addresses this for all in the communications ecosystem by providing a standardized naming system across all network components, locations and connections enabling streamlined operations.
inefficient asset management
The absence of a uniform system for tracking and managing assets results in poor visibility, reduced productivity and potential financial losses. Common Language solves this by offering comprehensive asset management that standardizes and optimizes the tracking of network assets and locations supported by geographic information system (GIS) information.
overwhelming operational complexity
When companies that provide communications services expand their customer base and service offerings, their networks grow and they encounter increased operational complexity, which can result in errors, delays and increased costs. Common Language reduces this complexity by automating processes and providing clear, consistent information across systems.
