Case Study from VETRO Showcases Strategic CCI Systems Collaboration
Client Challenge: When a wildfire in rural Oregon destroyed critical wireless infrastructure used by firefighters, CCI Systems and VETRO partnered up to tackle rebuilding network communications quickly. With only nine days to prepare an ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) grant application, the project faced challenges like limited knowledge of the area, a multi-phased deployment strategy, integration of existing infrastructure, complex design requirements, and difficult terrain.
Partnership Solution: CCI Systems partnered with VETRO, a fiber network management platform, to work on the project. We assembled a dedicated team and used VETRO’s design tools to create high-level network plans, estimate costs, and develop a timeline within the tight deadline. VETRO’s tools allowed for rapid design creation, streamlined cost estimation, and significant time savings.
Key Highlights from the Partnership:
- We quickly enabled swift development of high-level network plans.
- VETRO’s tools facilitated seamless export of designs into CCI’s cost estimation system.
- We cut the design time in half compared to traditional methods.
- Our clients could trust our detailed planning to complete the job.
Results: CCI used VETRO’s data and design tools to cut design time in half and seamlessly integrate budget estimates into our costing system. This efficiency helped us meet a tight 9-day deadline and build client trust. VETRO’s platform not only ensured the project’s success but also demonstrates the potential to streamline workflows and provide valuable insights for future projects. Being able to innovate in an ever-changing landscape is a cornerstone of CCI’s adaptability to serve our clients.
