SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Comprehensive Network Management Demands Insight\, Understanding\, and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:With organizations working faster than ever\, the need for simplified workflows and comprehensive understanding before acting is critical. By leveraging quality data\, unified by location\, and maintained in a single source of truth\, teams can make informed decisions that lead to streamlined workflows\, satisfied employees and customers\, and improved financial margins. \nWherever today’s immersive and fast paced workplace may be located\, digital twins in ArcGIS empower service providers to analyze\, design\, and gain understanding virtually before building networks in the physical world. Organizations contend with numerous market challenges impacting their ability to connect communities efficiently. With challenges such as a need for accurate and timely data\, increasing capacity needs & densification\, efforts to bridge digital divide\, demand for location intelligence\, quick access to coverage maps or permitting data\, needs for safety and risk mitigation\, and understanding of environmental impacts\, organizations need comprehensive understanding. \nGeospatial information system (GIS) technology is fundamental for digital twins. Esri’s ArcGIS interconnects information\, systems\, resources\, and workflows by leveraging the power of location\, to create holistic digital representations of environments\, assets\, networks\, and cities. \nJoin us for this webinar to: \n\nDiscover how ArcGIS products and resources aide with the challenges and problems providers face\nSee how to gain insight and understanding with a unified\, single\, source of truth leveraging location intelligence\nHear about the unique role digital twins play in simplifying workflows and delivering insight\nLearn how organizations can successfully use ArcGIS to break down siloed workflows and improve satisfaction\n\nPresented by: \n\nRandall René\, Industry Solutions Director for Telecommunications\, Esri\nPatrick Ryan\, Senior Solution Engineer\, Telecommunications\, Esri\n\n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Leveraging Location Intelligence for Sustainable & Efficient Operations
DESCRIPTION:The telecommunications industry is working harder than ever before to meet demands and connect society to what’s important in their lives. Today\, service providers need to ensure they are also delivering services sustainably and understand environmental impacts while building and maintaining networks. While doing so\, teams need to ensure they can maximize limited resources\, safeguard the customer experience\, and deliver services deeper into rural communities. \nSince virtually every aspect of business in the telecommunications industry involves location\, it only makes sense for organizations to take a geographic approach to manage their networks efficiently and sustainably. By using maps and spatial thinking to plan and design\, analyze\, collaborate\, and capitalize market opportunities\, organizations can provide the best possible awareness and understanding for completing tasks and solving problems. \nThis session highlights how service providers of any size can utilize location to unify data and information contained in existing operations and business support systems to create and comprehensive understanding throughout the organization. \nWebinar Presenters: \nRandall René\, Director\, Telecommunications Industry Solutions\, Esri\nJon Lauer\, Sr. Solutions Engineer\, Telecommunications and Cable\, Esri \n  \n		\n					\n				Register Now
