A network is analogous to a living organism – it is
constantly growing, changing, and moving. Accurately capturing these changes
contemporaneously throughout the life of the network is critical to the success
of network-centric businesses, such as utilities and cable and broadband
operators. Unfortunately, these organizations are frequently hampered by a
fragmented IT infrastructure comprised of separate data silos dispersed
throughout various departments. Because it is difficult to access information
locked away in departmental applications, organizations struggle to gain a
single, comprehensive view of the network and related business information.
Current approaches to addressing the issue do not enable organizations to tap
into a comprehensive view of the business in the context of location, time, and
connectivity-related network attributes. Instead they offer only a partial
snapshot of the network and associated business information.
The powerful Certa Platform establishes a live model of a company’s
operating network to capture the complexity and dynamics of utility and cable
and broadband networks. By integrating information on all elements of network
and business operations – including the location, time, and connectivity of all
network assets – this live model delivers the full context required to gain an
accurate and complete view of network and business events, at any point in
time. And because the Certa Live Model is designed to be configured to each
customer’s unique business rules and model, no changes are required to existing
systems or processes in order to take full advantage of this innovative
approach.
With the Certa Live Model at the core of Certa Platform, network-centric
businesses can make day-to-day and strategic decisions based on a reliable,
comprehensive, and accurate view of network and business operations.
