NETWORK AND INVENTORY AUDIT SERVICES FOR
NETWORK PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION
Trang 2For lots of different reasons, many carrier networks today are too complicated.
Rapid growth, merger and acquisition, and increased demand for high-bandwidth services led to network-on-top-of-network, creating inefficiency and inflexibility Now, many net-work infrastructures are too complex to update without causing major upheaval
With unnecessary complexity comes unwar-ranted costs So it makes good business sense
to improve the efficiency of existing opera-tions to reduce both capital and operating expenses The problem is that many networks are so complicated that it’s hard to know what really exists in the existing operation
That also makes it hard to plan for the future
That’s where ADC can help Our Network and Inventory Audit services are designed to help unravel complicated and often convoluted networks to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs Our proven, process-driven approach uncovers and details network archi-tectures, legacy records, processes and data-bases that have an immediate and direct effect on the success of a carrier’s operations
ADC Network and Inventory Audit services ensure accurate and detailed reports that affect operational areas including:
• Asset verification and recovery
• Engineering and planning
• Provisioning
• Trouble administration
• Facilities optimization ADC Network and Inventory Audit services are a critical first step to maximize efficiency and realize cost savings, and to ensure that your network can support both near- and long-term business strategies, no matter what these might be
At ADC, we’re experienced in building a wide variety of networks, using multiple technolo-gies from multiple vendors and delivering multiple services So no matter what type of network, ADC has the expertise to accurately detail its physical and logical aspects ADC employs a proven ISO 9001 certified process, comprised of:

NETWORK AND INVENTORY AUDIT SERVICES FOR NETWORK PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION
Trang 3PHASE ONE
-PROJECT DESIGN
Since each audit project is unique, we ensure
upfront that the results will fully meet our
cus-tomer’s needs The first part of this phase
deter-mines the goals and objectives, timeline and
deliverables Our audit teams conduct site visits
to examine the facility, records, equipment
status and the scope of the network The
result-ing design plan includes a complete scope of
work, schedule and pricing information
PHASE TWO - AUDIT AND
DATA COLLECTION
Using customer-specific worksheets and
best-practice methods, teams of ADC professional
auditors are deployed to gather data from
both active and passive equipment All
infor-mation is verified through a quality-assurance
process to ensure highly accurate results The
data collected includes:
• Mounting positions
• Dimensions
• Interconnections
• Port connections
• Equipment model, serial number
and version number
PHASE THREE - DELIVERABLES
The result of ADC’s Network and Inventory
Audit services is a professional set of
deliver-ables (in hard and soft copy formats) as
defined in the project design phase, and may
include:
• Rack elevation drawings
• Infrastructure drawings
• Interconnect tables for power, fiber and copper facilities
• Detailed inventory data, including serial number, data codes, and
hardware and software versions
• Signal flow drawings
• Digital pictures
• Labeling, tagging and bar coding of equipment as needed
PHASE FOUR -CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Of course, the value of an audit is ultimately dependent on how ongoing changes are fac-tored back into the audit So we look at more than just the physical and logical aspects of the network and examine the processes in place to keep information up-to-date By combining a change management process with our audits, we can help ensure that audits are providing actionable information long after delivery
As well, we’re experienced with the leading network asset management systems We leverage our extensive knowledge of network equipment, network topology and operations support systems to bridge any gaps between the physical network and data representation
Our expertise ensures that data models accu-rately depict the physical network
