Telekom Romania has been using Smallworld Physical Network Inventory platform since 2008, when PNI in version 4.1, delivered and implemented by Globema, replaced the legacy Smallworld-based ModelIT solution. After the completion of successful upgrade of Romtelecom’s Network Inventory solution to the latest 4.3 version in 2013, Globema began the development of a set of enhancements, aimed to provide additional reporting functionality, usability improvement and integration with the logical & service layer inventory system.

The scope of recently delivered enhancements includes:

1. Report pack

Globema developed and delivered tools to create Telekom Romania’s-specific MS Excel reports which provide detailed network information in the original format.

2. Usability improvements

  • Speed up object attribute value selection
  • Speed up fiber connectivity
  • Speed up manhole internals definition
  • Loading PRM Routes (from xls file)

3. Logical Inventory integration
