Work allocation tool drives smooth fiber network operations
Infosys implemented a work allocation solution for the fiber rollout program. It provides visibility into end-to-end engineering activities for the rollout and maintenance of the fiber cable network.
The work allocation tool enables Openreach field engineers to log their activities and close the job or pass it for the subsequent task. Further, it provides managers with an update of job status, including balance activities and the duration of task completion.
Our solution incorporates a mechanism for reporting and performance management at Openreach. Granular tracking of tasks from assignment to completion identifies top performers as well as field engineers who need further training. /p>
