About The Customer
iForte Solusi Infotek is one of the fastest-growing fiber optic network operators in Indonesia. The company provides information technology communications (ITC) services to customers on the densely populated Java Island and other areas throughout the country. iForte's network communications infrastructure includes more than 6,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable, 17,000 towers, 3,500 very small aperture terminal (VSAT) ground stations, and 240 points of presence (POP). The company was facing challenges due to decentralized data and unsystematic manual processes, which were slowing down project delivery and customer response times. To overcome these challenges, iForte committed to developing a digital fiber optic management system for more efficient collaboration and communication throughout all lifecycle stages.
The Challenge
iForte Solusi Infotek, one of the fastest-growing fiber optic network operators in Indonesia, was facing challenges due to decentralized data and unsystematic manual processes driving network engineering, planning, sales, and maintenance. The lack of synergy among its departments led to slow project delivery and customer response times. The company's network communications infrastructure includes more than 6,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable, 17,000 towers, 3,500 very small aperture terminal (VSAT) ground stations, and 240 points of presence (POP). Managing such a large infrastructure for numerous business applications required optimal workflows to efficiently meet customer requirements. To centralize data and information, streamline workflows, improve strategic analysis, and enhance decision making, the company committed to developing a digital fiber optic management system for more efficient collaboration and communication throughout all lifecycle stages.
The Solution
iForte relied on Bentley Communications applications to quickly complete the initial migration of the dispersed data in numerous file formats into a single platform. The company used MicroStation and Bentley Fiber for design and migration of all outdoor network equipment and data, cable route and utilization information, fiber optic systems connecting to customer premises, and customer information. Bentley Inside Plant was utilized for the indoor data, POP, and other inside network infrastructure assets. The interoperable software facilitated precise network modeling, accommodated different data formats, and accelerated accurate migration to a centralized database. Bentley Expert Designer streamlined network engineering, integrating engineering and work management to achieve seamless transition from design creation to approval and production of as-built drawings. The company configured Geo Web Publisher for Communications (GWPC) to provide real-time access to inside and outside plant views via a web browser to sales, maintenance, and all stakeholders, ensuring detailed viewing of current network information, and enabling simultaneous spatial analysis and modifications in a user-friendly environment.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
