Building One

BUILDING One is an
integrated solution aimed at assets management. It takes
care of assets, space, people, cables, telecom networks,
voice & data, project management, and much more. The BUILDING One integrated solution is
a unique product in the industry. Its wide range of
features, its openness and performance and its original
architecture makes it an extremely powerful solution to
assist assets managers in their difficult task of
managing infrastructures.
Based on a Geographic
Information System (GIS), BUILDING One is nearly
unlimited in data storage, combining different industry-focused
modules, each fulfilling the needs of the assets
managers in a specific area. All the modules are
interoperable, enabling the user to work on a seamless
integrated database of all assets, each user with his/her
own privileges and access rights. The BUILDING One
integrated solution is fully modular and open to the
major CAD and GIS data formats of the industry,
including Oracle Spatial.

Part of the BUILDING One platform, CABLE One
shares the same database, the same user interface and
inherits all standard functionalities. It offers a
large palette of functions for designing and managing
all types of cabling and fiber systems. Using floor
layouts, IDF/MDF, Data Center layouts, cable trays and
outlet positions, CABLE One automatically generates an
optimally-designed cable plant across multiple floors
and buildings. The applicability of its functions to
everyday issues makes it perfectly suited to address
all aspects of managing cabling and networks, reduce the
duration of on-the-field operations, improve the
reliability of the systems and optimize the
operational costs.
Main Functions:
Locating, Managing and consulting the data of all
equipments belonging to cabling and network
infrastructures
Management of patching, resource availability and port
reservations
Management of IMACS with automatic equipment
relocation and re-connection functions, generating
worktickets and supporting port reservation
Easy navigation along cables and patch cords,
end-to-end
Automatic generation of cabling plan and diagrams
Powerful built-in report generator, easy output to
Crystal Reports and MS Excel.
Standard reports for Pull Schedules, Patching
Schedules, Bills of Material, Equipment Availability,
Telephone directories, etc
User-Defined Attributes, Color-coded displays and
links to external files for extended customization

Equipment Consultation
The
Telecom industry has specific needs in terms of
management of large outside plant infrastructure. The
Cable One Telecom module takes full advantage of the
inherent GIS capabilities of the CABLE One module to
allow for a precise representation of all fibre
infrastructure along with all splicing nodes, may it be
within a building, along rail tracks, in conduits or in
tunnels.

Cable One Datacenter has been designed on the powerful
Cable One module to add specific capacity and power
management features to address the resource optimization
challenges met by any Data Center Manager.
To increase the efficiency and optimize resources the
datacenter asset manager has to answer three main
questions:
Where is my IT equipment located and in which
environment (servers, bays, computers, cables,
connectors, etc.)?
What is the capacity and energy consumption of
my equipment (from the rack to the connector)?
How are my devices connected and linked?
Based on a true GIS database, Cable One Datacenter
precisely locates every element of your datacenter, a
key capability to manage capacity, assess density and
track hot spots. CABLE One DataCenter simplifies the
asset management by:
offering remote visualization of the status,
connection and location of all equipment;
providing safe and efficient intervention in case of
service interruption;
optimizing capacity and capabilities by simplifying
management of changes;
automating reports and audits, saving time and
reducing sources of error.
