    The Devil’s in the Details and the Details are in the Data.
    A Case Study of Project Controls and Best Practices for Feasibility.

    In taking advantage of the dollars that have started flowing for broadband builds, the speed and cost to do those builds often will come down to smart engineering, great software, and important partnerships.

    Data driven insights in creating efficiencies rarely seen before in the fiber-broadband industry, the panelists explain how project data visibility and transparency is measured in real-time, understanding daily spend and production against budget.

    A case in point: During the past three months, Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative (CCEC), on the southern Oregon coast, had a real challenge on its hands. The rural co-op’s Board of Directors wanted to provide equitable fiber broadband service to every one of its 14,000 members across its geographically isolated service area, stretching along Oregon’s coast from Coos Bay down to the California border.

    In this webinar, three distinct industry leaders offer insights and perspectives around the data-driven insights needed to adequately report on all stages of broadband deployments.

    Previous project and construction practices would assign huge buckets of money to various aspects of a network construction project without any realistic ability to provide oversight or quality control. But understanding modern practices and process, data-driven management and controls can create unparalleled efficiencies and transparencies to help direct the project stakeholders toward the ultimate goal of getting customers on the network.
