Certa Asset Management Solutions

To ensure efficient, responsive field operations, cable operators must be equipped to track the value, location, and status of their assets; optimize preventive maintenance efforts; and generally gain deeper insight into their entire plant. CertaLogic’s Certa Asset Management Solutions Suite, designed specifically for cable & broadband operators, includes robust Project Construction Management and Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation applications that help address these needs. Organizations realize significant business value from these applications due to the unparalleled information quality delivered by the underlying Certa Platform – no matter how many or which products they use.

Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation
Because financial organizations track network assets at an aggregated level, they struggle to accurately match physical assets to the corresponding financial asset value. In the end, this results in higher valuation and audit risks. With Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation, cable operators can track physical assets, quantities, and costs as they are used in construction projects, and can drill down within a project to the equipment level and track the asset and its location and status over time. Finance can assign values to assets based on a number of criteria – including type and age – and can even assign a value to a specific customer or customer type. The Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation Solution then calculates all asset values within any territory defined, providing granular detail for any arbitrarily defined area. Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation supports multiple network asset valuation methods based on distinct sets of reference prices. With Certa Asset Tracking and Valuation, cable & broadband operators can easily support merger and acquisition activities and confidently provide accurate detail in tax, audit, and other reports.

Certa Project Construction Management

Certa Project Construction Management helps cable and broadband operators efficiently and cost-effectively manage construction projects from inception through completion, supporting project-related decision making through all stages of a project, including drafting, design, costing, planning, and construction. By helping organizations thoroughly track construction projects over time, the product makes it easier for cable and broadband operators to coordinate efforts with suppliers and contractors. And by being able to accurately and easily track and visualize construction projects, customer service representatives can keep customers informed about the availability of services in their area.

With this application, cable and broadband operators can track material and labor costs, differentiate between and track internal versus external costs, empower engineers in the field through offline features, integrate with inventory systems, perform current cost estimates and refine estimates for future projects based on historical data, and align project activities with user-defined project stages.

With Certa Asset Management Solutions, cable & broadband operators gain the support they need to ensure efficient construction project management.
