NETWORK AND INVENTORY AUDIT SERVICES FOR
NETWORK PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION
For lots of different
reasons, many carrier
networks today are
too complicated.
Rapid growth, merger and acquisition, and
increased demand for high-bandwidth services
led to network-on-top-of-network, creating
inefficiency and inflexibility. Now, many net-
work infrastructures are too complex to
update without causing major upheaval.
With unnecessary complexity comes unwar-
ranted costs. So it makes good business sense
to improve the efficiency of existing opera-
tions to reduce both capital and operating
expenses. The problem is that many networks
are so complicated that it’s hard to know
what really exists in the existing operation.
That also makes it hard to plan for the future.
That’s where ADC can help. Our Network and
Inventory Audit services are designed to help
unravel complicated and often convoluted
networks to improve efficiency and reduce
operational costs. Our proven, process-driven
approach uncovers and details network archi-
tectures, legacy records, processes and data-
bases that have an immediate and direct

effect on the success of a carrier’s operations.
ADC Network and Inventory Audit services
ensure accurate and detailed reports that
affect operational areas including:
• Asset verification and recovery
• Engineering and planning
• Provisioning
• Trouble administration
• Facilities optimization
ADC Network and Inventory Audit services
are a critical first step to maximize efficiency
and realize cost savings, and to ensure that
your network can support both near- and
long-term business strategies, no matter what
these might be.
At ADC, we’re experienced in building a wide
variety of networks, using multiple technolo-
gies from multiple vendors and delivering
multiple services. So no matter what type of
network, ADC has the expertise to accurately
detail its physical and logical aspects.
ADC employs a proven ISO 9001 certified
process, comprised of:
• Project design

FOR NETWORK PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION

NETWORK AND INVENTORY AUDIT
PHASE ONE -
PROJECT DESIGN
Since each audit project is unique, we ensure
upfront that the results will fully meet our cus-
tomer’s needs. The first part of this phase deter-
mines the goals and objectives, timeline and
deliverables. Our audit teams conduct site visits
to examine the facility, records, equipment
status and the scope of the network. The result-
ing design plan includes a complete scope of
work, schedule and pricing information.
PHASE TWO - AUDIT AND
DATA COLLECTION
Using customer-specific worksheets and best-
practice methods, teams of ADC professional
auditors are deployed to gather data from
both active and passive equipment. All infor-
mation is verified through a quality-assurance
process to ensure highly accurate results. The
data collected includes:
• Mounting positions
• Dimensions
• Interconnections
• Port connections
• Equipment model, serial number
and version number
PHASE THREE - DELIVERABLES
The result of ADC’s Network and Inventory
Audit services is a professional set of deliver-

ables (in hard and soft copy formats) as
defined in the project design phase, and may
include:
• Rack elevation drawings
• Infrastructure drawings
• Interconnect tables for power,
fiber and copper facilities
• Detailed inventory data, including serial
number, data codes, and
hardware and software versions
• Signal flow drawings
• Digital pictures
• Labeling, tagging and bar coding of
equipment as needed
PHASE FOUR -
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Of course, the value of an audit is ultimately
dependent on how ongoing changes are fac-
tored back into the audit. So we look at more
than just the physical and logical aspects of
the network and examine the processes in
place to keep information up-to-date. By
combining a change management process
with our audits, we can help ensure that
audits are providing actionable information
long after delivery.
As well, we’re experienced with the leading
network asset management systems. We
leverage our extensive knowledge of network
equipment, network topology and operations

support systems to bridge any gaps between
the physical network and data representation.
Our expertise ensures that data models accu-
rately depict the physical network.
