IQGeo, a developer of geospatial software that is “Building better networks” for telecom and utility operators, has announced the latest release of its Workflow Manager software that is accelerating rollout and field operations through its unique fibre network model integration.

The integration with IQGeo’s Network Manager Telecom provides the fibre industry solution for directly connecting digital work processes across the planning, construction and operations lifecycle.  

Jay Cadman, Senior Vice President at IQGeo, stated: “Major fibre deployment projects remain a huge logistical challenge for the industry. We provide a flexible workflow solution that adapts as your network and build requirements change, which is absolutely critical to long-term business success. What makes our architecture so unique for fibre operators is how tightly integrated Workflow Manager’s digital work processes are to the fibre network model. Our approach provides a single tool for the network lifecycle that streamlines processes and eliminates data loading and translation issues. Operators are using our workflow tools with initial network rollout and to seamlessly automate workflows across operations and sales to maximise the ROI of their technology investment.”

The fast and efficient rollout of fibre networks remains a top priority for many broadband operators as they race to secure market share and deploy BEAD-funded projects in the USA and other government-funded initiatives. Workflow Manager leverages the full power of the IQGeo suite to support any fibre network architecture and adapt as network, contractors and rollouts change. This integration automatically creates tickets, tasks, and work orders for any activity or asset, preserving your long-term network and technology investment far beyond your initial build.

Typical workflow scenarios: 

  • Field surveys  
  • Construction management  
  • As-built field data capture
  • Fibre service connections
  • Maintenance and break-fix
  • Field inspections

Workflow Manager’s flexible interface makes it easy to create forms for workflows, while its dashboard monitors all active projects and related tasks. The software is firmly rooted in IQGeo’s industry-leading field mobility, providing an easy-to-use solution on tablets for field crews and contractors to execute digital project workflows both online and offline.

IQGeo will demonstrate the new Workflow Manager at major fibre industry events in 2024.
