Recently, Australia-based service provider Telstra International shared how they have dramatically simplified management of network resources with a new, dynamic inventory management system based on Blue Planet Inventory.

Telstra calls its new system “Veritas,” which fittingly means truth in Latin. In this article, Marie Fiala details how Telstra’s adoption of BPI has also enabled the company to minimize risk of change, lower OpEx, and improve service delivery for its customers.

Telstra was under pressure to modernize its network inventory system. The company had a massive amount of inventory to manage in its fiber, wireless, backhaul, satellite and undersea cable networks, supporting its enterprise and residential customers, as well as its telecom partners. However, their legacy inventory system was not sustainable. It was 17 years old, was costly to maintain and operate, and vendor support was ending in two years.

These business and technology concerns impelled the company to replace its inventory system, but it needed a solution that would fulfill specific requirements and serve the company for years to come. In particular, the company wanted the capability to:

1. Evolve to the new system to avoid downtime and risks of a rip-and-replace;
2. Deploy the system in phases, delivering benefits at each phase;
3. Use its legacy and new inventory systems together for as long as necessary;
4. View inventory on its live network dynamically; and
