20) Existing Path Estimation - Adding Labels to BOM Line Items
1) So you decided to build a fiber network...what's next?
How do you begin the daunting task of planning, designing, and then building a fiber network?
Our Customer Success Manager, Amanda Corson will take you through some of the most important steps you should take when you start planning, designing, and building a fiber network.
2) How to customize your bill of materials?
In our first video, we looked at the capabilities of our software tool, FOND. In this video, we will focus on a strong capability and use case of FOND - how you can customize the bill of materials to meet your funding requirements.
3) The Cost Breakdown of Your BOM (Bill of Materials)
Today, our goal is to look at a side-by-side comparison of two designs using the same architecture, one with our pre-configured bill of materials and the other being more uniquely defined based on the architecture. We will further analyze the cost breakdown and how to align the BOM with the network’s architecture.
4) Categories in the BOM (Bill of Materials)
Today, we will look at some of the universally used categories to supply a general overview that will help you build and organize your bill of materials. While we’re wrapping up our videos that focus on the bill of materials, you can access more content about how to customize the BOM in FOND’s Knowledge base
6) Input Data - Editing Underground Path
Here we are going to take a closer look at editing the underground path in the input data step of generating a design. This video aims to provide an understanding of the reasons behind these edits as well as offer guidance on effectively utilizing FOND’s drawing tool for editing and drawing your underground path.
7) Uploading Pole & Strand Data, Editing Pole & Aerial Span Data
We are going to take a closer look at uploading the pole and strand data in the input data step of generating a design as well as editing pole and aerial span data. We will walk you through the simple process of first uploading your pole and strand data, followed by editing pole and aerial span data to ensure you’ve completed an appropriate step within the input data step of generating a FOND planning design.
8) Interview with Harley Slater, FOND Product Manager - Part 1
We have a special guest with us in our newest video– our Product Manager for FOND, Harley Slater. We’re excited to learn more about FOND’s innovation and the driving force behind its success. Stay tuned for part 2!
9) Interview with Harley Slater, Product Manager - Part 2
Part 2 is here! Join Amanda and Harley as they dive deeper into how our team addresses scalability and adaptability to meet the ever-changing needs of the market. Also, get a look into one of FOND's latest features, the Demand Model, which provides a standardized fiber allocation model, so you can be consistent from project to project.
13) Cost to Serve – Analyze & Remove High-Cost Addresses
Cost to Serve – Analyze & Remove High-Cost Addresses. As a recap from our previous two videos, Cost to Serve is designed to spotlight the capex necessary for planning a network and illustrates how this cost can be allocated across the design. This approach helps generate a cost profile that could lead to more informed decisions. Today, we’ll delve even deeper into this latest addition of FOND and walk through an example where we identify high-cost addresses, reprioritize those, and modify our network to maintain financial feasibility.
15) Collaborate through comments
Today, we’re going to walk through how to facilitate design reviews and discussions using the comment feature in FOND. We’ll walk you through the steps to add comments, show you how to engage with team members effectively, and demonstrate how this tool can streamline your workflow. Whether you’re sharing feedback, asking questions, or collaborating on design adjustments, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to make the most of this powerful feature. Let’s get started!
16) Save Your Time with FOND’S Insightful Features
Today, we will explore several features of FOND that will help you stay focused on your projects (and perhaps make your life a little easier). Understanding these features will free up your time to be able to concentrate on your designs, rather than spending unnecessary time accessing useful account information.
17) Generating a Financial Analysis with Financial Planner
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Financial Planner, our expanded FOND Planner product! In this video, I'll provide an overview of Financial Planner and explain the essential details you’ll want prior to creating your report as well as the values necessary to generate a report.
19) Understanding a Report Analysis with Financial Planner – Revenue Page.
In our latest video, we covered the essentials of the Cost Analysis of your report that we recommend you check out. Now, we’re diving into the Revenue page of our Financial Report.
20) Existing Path Estimation – Adding Labels to BOM Line Items
In this video, we’re diving into path labeling and path estimation tools, which are essential for managing projects efficiently.
