Cyient and 3-GIS Form Strategic Partnership to Transform Network Data into Operational Control
Transforming Network Management with Cyient and 3-GIS
In a significant move towards enhancing operational efficiency for telecom and utility operators, Cyient Limited has announced a strategic partnership with 3-GIS. This collaboration aims to convert complex network data into actionable insights, thereby streamlining data management for clients across North America, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), and the Asia-Pacific region.
Addressing Key Industry Challenges
As telecom operators rapidly deploy fiber optic networks and utility companies modernize their critical infrastructures, the accuracy and utility of network data are more crucial than ever. Challenges arise when data is scattered across various systems, complicating operations, compliance, and service delivery. Operators traditionally relied on multiple vendors for software platforms, deployment services, and operational oversight. However, the partnership between Cyient and 3-GIS unifies these competencies into a singular, integrated solution.
Cyient, with over 30 years of experience serving telecom and utility clients globally, has developed a rich expertise in geospatial services, engineering, and digital technologies. The company has successfully managed and transferred over 650 million network data elements, aiding in the design of fiber optic networks, GIS implementations, asset management, field operations, and network modernization initiatives. This wealth of experience will now be integrated with 3-GIS’s platform, enhancing clients' data quality and simplifying long-term network management.
Innovative Solutions for Complex Networks
3-GIS offers configurable software tailored for cloud computing, which acts as a record-keeping system for critical infrastructure networks. Telecom operators utilize this platform to oversee planning, design, inventory, construction, and operation of both fiber optic and copper networks. Additionally, electricity and gas utility companies leverage the platform for network management, asset inspections, field operations, and joint-use management.
By combining 3-GIS’s comprehensive platform capabilities with Cyient's managed engineering services, clients are presented with a holistic partner responsible for end-to-end solutions—from data migration to daily network operations. This approach alleviates the complications of dealing with multiple suppliers and enables seamless integration across various systems.
Arunav Roy, Senior Vice President and Head of the Market, Connectability, Utility Services, and Spatial Intelligence unit at Cyient, emphasized the importance of accurate network data, stating, "For a telecom operator looking to expand fiber optics or a utility company trying to align asset records across mismatched systems, the challenge remains the same; network data must be precise. Otherwise, growth only yields risks and corrective work rather than solidifying revenue and reliability. By pairing the 3-GIS platform with our managed and engineering services, we provide a unique partnership that simplifies the entire process for telecom and utility operators."
Enhancing Value with Integrated Technology
The integration of 3-GIS with Cyient's CYiNGINE—its engineering intelligence platform—leverages domain knowledge, governed data, and AI-driven scenarios throughout engineering lifecycle and service periods. This synergy allows clients to extract more value from their network data, enhancing operational efficiency and facilitating informed decision-making.
Dustin Sutton, CEO of 3-GIS, highlighted the critical nature of the collaboration in the global landscape, remarking, “The 3-GIS platform has become essential for telecom operators and utility companies in building and operating critical networks. As we grow, having strong partners is vital to provide clients across various markets the ability to collaborate with trusted partners for utilizing and supporting 3-GIS products. Cyient has been a valuable partner for years, and we are excited about this new strategic step in our relationship.”
