Anticipates that End-to-end Intelligent
Network Modeling Enabled by Bentley Software Will Improve Productivity Across
Enterprise
September 23, 2014 – Bentley Systems,
Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software
solutions for sustaining infrastructure,
yesterday announced that Service Electric Cable TV, Inc. (SECTV) – founder
of cable television and a pioneer in the communications industry – has selected Bentley’s
hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network engineering solution for the effective and efficient
design and management of its cable broadband network. Bentley’s HFC solution,
which includes Bentley Coax, Bentley Fiber, Bentley Inside Plant, and Bentley Communications PowerView, replaces disparate CAD,
GIS, and spreadsheet systems at SECTV. With this new software, SECTV can accelerate
new subscriber activations, network upgrades, extensions, and repairs while
increasing productivity across engineering, field operations, marketing, sales,
and customer support.
Mike
Semmel, mapping supervisor, Service Electric Cable TV, Inc., said, “The seamless
database structure of Bentley’s HFC network engineering solution gives us an
end-to-end perspective of our system that is simply not available from
individual drawings, maps, and spreadsheets. The solution also provides a means
to make the intelligent network model available to anyone in the organization
through secure web interfaces and field applications. These capabilities,
combined with a high-productivity user interface, a proven track record of
user-driven product enhancements, and excellent support, made Bentley the best
choice for our business.”
Robert Mankowski, Bentley vice president, simulation
product management, said, “We are pleased to provide SECTV with
technology that will help this service innovator to continue its leadership in
the cable industry – leadership it established more than 65 years ago.
Bentley’s HFC solution will give SECTV’s teams a comprehensive HFC network design capability that is up
to three times faster than other solutions. This purpose-built technology
leverages the deepest industry experience in the market to provide unparalleled
engineering workflow efficiency. It uniquely includes the precision of CAD and
all the benefits of an open enterprise GIS, while providing efficiency across
the physical network inventory lifecycle with comprehensive capabilities for
design, construction, and operations.”
SECTV selected Bentley after reviewing alternatives
against the following criteria:
·
the ability to document and maintain an end-to-end
intelligent network model;
·
the ability to easily share the intelligent network
model with any department to improve business decisions and workflows;
·
ease of use to minimize training and improve design
and management productivity;
·
demonstrated product development and alignment with
evolving user requirements;
·
comprehensive technical support.
