Previously, the Montana- based communications service provider esti- mated it had lost several hundred technician hours. But by leveraging automation tools, best practices and quality reviews of the services, 3 Rivers has started to dramatically reduce the inefficiencies tied to access systems deploy- ments. These improvements in deployment productivity have accelerated aggressive fiber- to-the-home build out projects.  “Our mission is to provide superior commu- nications services that enhance our members’ lives and improve the communities we serve,” said Dave Gibson, general manager and CEO for 3 Rivers Communications. “The Calix Professional Services team is helping us improve and expand business opportunities and increase the quality of life for our members at a faster pace. The Deployment Enablement Services are helping us to optimize our budget by increasing productivity and allowing us to nearly double the number of projects we can take on. With the help of the Calix team, we believe we can get 50 percent more productivity from our technicians which will help expand the broadband services we offer our members.”  Deployment Enablement Services are comprised of Project Playbooks; the MobilePRO app, which provides step-by-step guidance and automated, electronic documentation sharing; and quality assurance assistance for rapid, remote reviews of project quality. Together, they help CSPs reduce overall deployment inter- vals, enabling them to complete more network transformation projects while ensuring buildout consistency and quality.  “Calix Deployment Enablement Services are field proven and draw on experience accu- mulated from more than 5,000 successful proj- ects,” said Matt Collins, chief marketing officer for Calix. “We are helping 3 Rivers increase productivity and reduce operational costs as they build out their network to bring service to more western Montana communities. Deploy- ment Enablement Services deliver the advanced information sharing tools, quality assessment expertise and the standards and best practices needed to ensure successful installations.” m Visit Calix at WISPAPALOOZA 2019 booth #410.
