Telcordia has announced the Total Perspective Planning solution, which helps communications service providers (CSPs) align business and network planning to improve network return-on-investment at each and every decision point across the enterprise.

"When CSPs develop and deploy new services, a key success factor is the ability for multiple business units, from engineering and operations to sales and finance to make critical decisions quickly and independently, but with pertinent information at hand," said Adan Pope, Chief Strategy Officer, Telcordia. "Our Total Perspective Planning solution is purpose-built to facilitate information collaboration, enabling high network availability, faster restoration, and maximum top-line revenue."

Total perspective planning helps CSPs provides a set of capabilities for compiling and analyzing a broad range of demographic, network, business, technical and other key data sets against a common geographical backdrop. It also solves the problem of accurately understanding the capability, vulnerability, and potential of network assets across a CSP's entire business.  It brings a new level of insight, intelligence and efficiency to how CSPs run their business.

A key component to the Telcordia Total Perspective Planning solution is Telcordia Network Engineer, the industry standard for managing large-scale network planning, design and building.
