CHAMPAIGN, Ill.– Communications Data Group (CDG) is pleased to announce the recent integration between CDG’s MBS consumer and enterprise billing and OSS solution and 3-GIS’s fiber network management software. The initial phase of the integration allows MBS clients utilizing 3-GIS software solutions to manage the address structure creation and ONT equipment creation and removal in 3-GIS through MBS, while the 3-GIS Patch Panel assignment to the address is managed in 3-GIS and then automatically generated in MBS. Additional phases to expand the integration and create 1-click access between the two systems are planned for the future.
According to CDG’s Vice President of Product Development, Mike Chalk, “Integrating the 3-GIS and MBS systems is a great example of an enhancement that we feel benefits the workflow processes in both systems by reducing swivel-chair activities between 3-GIS and MBS, increasing the transparency, and simplifying the client’s ability to access 3-GIS information directly through MBS.”
When asked about the value of the integration with MBS, Michael Measels, VP of Product Management at 3-GIS, noted, “The MBS integration expands further on our philosophy to ‘open data for business’ as our customers ready network assets for service and achieve faster returns on their investment.”
