How are you doing with your fiber network documentation?

Sick of your current network management software and want to integrate Splice.me to the workflow or move completely to Splice.me? No worries, here’s how & why.

Splice.me has powerful data protection tools that prevent data loss from existing solutions. Splice.me also prevents inconsistencies in already migrated data and makes migrated data more usable. Splice.me provides all capabilities to create, organize fiber cable projects, and manage data. If your existing solution integrates with other systems in your organization, splice.me can easily adapt and improve integrations.

Splice.me is full-featured, powerful, yet very easy to understand, even primitive. And it is it’s main advantage. We strongly believe that it doesn’t even need onboarding or minimal external assistance. However, our team of qualified consultants will be happy to share their best practices to help you along the way.

Are you happy with your current solution for managing your core level of fiber network infrastructure? Is it necessary to manage and alternate fiber documentation on a daily basis? Does it provide the functionality you need to improve your performance? Does it integrate seamlessly into your organization’s application architecture? Is it easy to use?

A friendly reminder that 3-GIS is great but PITA at making fiber splice diagrams

Today we answer these questions and present Splice.me as a perfect fit for your existing solutions. Note that we don’t position our solution as a direct rival to AutoCAD, 3-GIS, Vetro, etc. No, we consider it equally capable of being an all-in-one solution for managing splicing and also co-existing with big network management & monitoring systems, complimenting them in many ways.

Why investing in our management software solution is worth it?

Is it necessary to manage the complexity and diversity of a fiber network? Definitely yes. Network cabling and infrastructure technologies are constantly evolving, any network never stays the same longer than few days. Network architecture evolves. Any network grows. Or sometimes shrinks, and it’s also a matter of network management and documenting. The key to finding a way to manage this change is organization. The solution being “future-proof” and “designed to scale” is not enough in our opinion. The key is simplicity and splice.me has nailed it.

Do new features slow down your overall workflow?

Every software requires to get used to it. Often new software which was intended to replace a legacy one – happily co-exists with it. Needless to say that a seeming improvement in some aspects spoils the overall engineering workflow.

Effective network moves, additions, changes often involve planning and coordination across different roles in one organization. To facilitate this, solutions does not need to be very sophisticated, they should be just simple and understandable by the youngest engineer.

Fiber cable infrastructure data is essential to business assets, and many processes in the business rely on this data. To support this data sharing, our solution provides collaborative editing and project sharing. As with any business solution, the goal of the application is to make life easier for the user, not to overwhelm him and force him to perform a critical task on their own.

How long ago did you update your AutoCAD last time?

It’s ok to use AutoCAD ver.17 2008 or MS Visio 2002. They work fast enough indeed. But with splice.me at least you can now forget about updates. And the web-application is always “with you”. It won’t stop working one day.

The important thing is that our solution does not just meet the security requirements in its current form. The solution evolves the business to support evolving needs and avoid the risk of failures and data loss. The risk with free and open source software tools is that they can no longer be updated and/or supported.

Making a decision

Let’s revisit today’s questions. If your answer to one or more of the above questions is negative, how about replacing your current solution with fiber management system splice.me?

Splice.me is primitive yet powerful solution designed to plan, document, and manage changes to physical fiber network infrastructure and assets in data centers, rural fiber networks, etc.

Splice.me interface

Will splice.me be good for my ISP? What level is this software? Beginner-level, mid-size network level, enterprise-level? Short answer – it handles everything. It’s being used now by individual splicers, by mid-size metro and rural ISPs, and by relatively big government-owned organizations in several countries. Whether your plan is to make some splice diagrams, a piece of fiber network or to manage a state-wide network – splice.me can do it. The application scales connectivity to support large global networks and large network teams, while ensuring high performance and availability. Minimal configuration and robust design features allow quick start to a new project and speed of work.

With splice.me you control the complete workflow and can add, copy, move nodes with splicing data. Other quick tools facilitate customizable workflows that adapt to your business. Ease of use is at the core of splice.me’s design. Business owners not only rely on the application to speed up network design, they love using it because how nice it is. This is an important yet often overlooked feature of the solution.

What’s the vision for the future?

We are constantly busy adding new features and improvements to our application. When we add something, it can’t go unnoticed. We also announce it on all our social media, even on instagram.

Since the software is initially in English language, this year it will go multilingual. Not the web-site or the interface. Whole diagrams and color codes in fiber cables will be provided in different languages, along with a colored/black-and-white diagrams toggle.

We are in fiber network design business since 2005, committed to providing quality products and high standards of customer service, and have built long-term relationships with our customers and partners.

Still hesitant? Start with a free account and torture some splice sheets, you’ll love it.
