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

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-

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.
