Lumen
Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN) has selected intelligent
automation software from Blue Planet, a division of Ciena
(NYSE:CIEN), to help drive its strategic network inventory
transformation initiative. Blue Planet Inventory (BPI) will enable
Lumen to consolidate multiple legacy inventory systems, streamline
its service delivery and assurance processes, digitize its network
assets, and improve global customer experience. Streamlined
visibility into its network inventory with BPI will also help
accelerate the development, implementation and support of Lumen
solutions, including Network-as-a-Service and the company’s
recently announced Private Connectivity Fabric℠.
“A single source of truth for our network inventory and data
integrity is core to Lumen’s transformation to create a digitized,
AI-ready network, one that can quickly address customer needs
driven by the major demand for connectivity fueled by AI,” said Kye
Prigg, EVP Enterprise Operations, Lumen Technologies. “This work is
critical to our mission to connect people, data and applications,
quickly, securely and effortlessly, while also driving significant
improvements in our overall operational efficiency.”
Instead of relying on multiple legacy inventory systems that
require continuous, costly and extensive customization, the Blue
Planet deployment provides a modernized network inventory solution
that allows Lumen to eliminate operational silos and the negative
impact of inaccurate inventory data. Through digitizing its network
assets, Lumen will also be able to create a digital twin or digital
copy of its network. This allows the company to run test
simulations for network planning, identify potential issues and
drive new use cases, such as automation. BPI will also help Lumen
resolve outages more quickly and streamline future data
capture.
“Lumen is building the foundation for a scalable, adaptable
digital network, boldly leading the way towards driving powerful
digital experiences for its customers. Blue Planet is helping Lumen
to take control of its transformation with data it can trust, to
provide greater alignment across IT and network operations,” said
Joe Cumello, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Blue
Planet.
