Asset Management

This customizable consulting solution addresses the challenge faced by many rapidly growing or recently privatized service providers who lack consistent and accurate network asset information. Our goal is to allow service providers to properly measure key metrics, report accurately, and invest wisely.

When network data is "misaligned" throughout an enterprise – that is, when operations and finance groups are working with inconsistent nomenclatures and are not reliably sharing network asset lifecycle events such as acquisition, transfer, or retirement – the business costs can be incalculable.

Telcordia consultants are dramatically improving asset handling, oversight, and financial management for operators around the world by transforming their network asset data models and asset lifecycle process flows so that every department has the same, up-to-date network asset view. As a result, service providers can:

• Make investment and management decisions based on appropriate capital costs that yield accurate profitability and ROI metrics
• Avoid incorrect depreciation and unplanned write-offs due to asset misclassification, which can affect as much as 20% of network assets
• Provide accurate, meaningful information and reports to auditors, investors, regulators and managers

We can even help you adopt an "information infrastructure," like the fully-hosted, subscription-based Telcordia® Common Language® Information Services, to further synchronize both internal and external asset-related communications.

Telcordia stands out in the industry for our insight into the "information challenge" that is unique to the telecommunication industry. We bring to bear a powerful combination of expertise that spans network equipment, financial management and regulatory issues, and their interactions, which enables us to help service providers improve financial management, reporting and decision-making.
