Business challenge
As with any large-scale infrastructure project, development of cellular networks calls for careful orchestration of people, processes, and data.
A nationwide telecom operator faced the challenge of managing this task using multiple disconnected tools. To overcome this challenge, they sought a unified internal solution for an end-to-end approach to network development.
Technology solution
We leveraged our extensive experience building versatile telecom software, including smart CapEx and network planning tools, to create a blueprint of a solution tailored to our client’s needs.
We designed a GIS platform with layered data maps that provides transparency for managers and functionality for niche experts and engineers, fostering team synergy.
Product functionality
Given our client’s need to centralize network development activities, the platform offers a comprehensive range of features:
- Aggregation and visualization of information on target audience distribution, network coverage, base stations, power supply, fiber optic wiring, and equipment
- Profit-proof project evaluation based on operational expenses and ROI for target audiences and individual subscribers
- Ability to outline and adjust network development strategies with a five-year planning horizon
- Tools for business case management, task assignment, activity tracking, and reporting
Solution design
The platform’s sophisticated business logic required seamless integration of multiple internal and external systems, accommodating various data types and user roles. This resulted in a sophisticated cloud-based product design utilizing an extensive technology stack.
Our team’s role
To minimize risks and ensure predictable outcomes within a defined timeline and budget, Intellias assumed full responsibility for the delivery process, assembling a cross-functional project team that worked closely with client-side stakeholders and future platform users.
Key project milestones
The project followed an agile SDLC with an MVP-based development roadmap and continuous end-product delivery.
A significant focus was placed on a month-long discovery phase at the client’s headquarters to understand their needs, develop an accurate solution vision, and initiate implementation while minimizing bottlenecks and technical debt.
Business impact
Partnering with Intellias provided our client with a number of benefits including guaranteed product quality, a short time to market, and continuous post-release support in addition to direct project outcomes:
- Optimized human resource allocation
- Improved visibility into operational processes
- Streamlined network development activities
- Ownership of an essential business tool
