Telcordia® Granite Inventory

Discovery

A technology agnostic, native module that provides discovery of network equipment and circuits along with a unique set of capabilities for reconciliation of inventory data

Nowadays, 20-30 percent of the networks of typical carriers are stranded, and these carriers have no efficient way to recover these valuable assets. Because networks are constantly evolving to support new services and accommodate new customers they require constant monitoring to ensure an accurate inventory picture.

Discovery, a module of Telcordia® Granite Inventory, discovers both physical and logical attributes. It automatically reconciles inaccuracies in data, thus helping to maintain database accuracy, reduce maintenance costs, and maximize network assets. Discovery can help you:

• Maintain the accuracy of network data through automated database reconciliation
• Reduce downstream fallout and the cost of data upkeep
• Increase utilization of your network equipment
• Ensure that all of your customers are accurately billed

Discovery's robust reconciliation capabilities automate the correction of inaccuracies and keep them from reoccurring in your networks. Our flexible reconciliation options allow you to use your business rules and your preferred workflow to update the Granite Inventory database.

Built on Granite Inventory's J2EE™, N-tiered architecture, Discovery's capabilities cut across disparate networks, circuits, and databases. Discovery can be rapidly deployed and customized, and is supported by a library of off-the-shelf network adapters.

Discovery allows you to automate time-consuming and notoriously imprecise processes and helps lead to better utilization of your people and your network assets. As a result your network resources can become more useful, more reliable and more profitable.
