A single inventory management system
Are you still using Excel spreadsheets for network inventory management? Or a home system that's not so good? IMS makes this easier, with an OSS inventory management system to register all your different network platforms and vendors. A central system results in a single truth and offers full control.
The telecommunications network planning and inventory system helps your company improve the services they offer by enabling staff to complete daily tasks faster than before and much smarter. The VC4-IMS has a strong out-of-the-use offering, thereby reducing customization costs. The inventory network system allows you to increase revenues and expand margins while reducing risks, OPEX and CAPEX costs.
About vc4 network planning and inventory system
Easily search for any object in IMS. For each network object, users can find related information simply by right-clicking or with a single click.
In addition, pre-configured and custom reports can be created and viewed on different screens, allowing for easier and simpler network management.
VC4-IMS gives network planners all the tools they need to design new or upgrade existing network projects before they are built on the real network. IMS can also be used seamlessly with the IMS workflow and problem logging module.

Network planning and change management
Use IMS to design new updates or plan updates for the network before it is built into the actual network. Each network item, such as location, equipment, shelf, card, and connection, has a status to identify at what stage of delivery or planning lifecycle it is.
IMS Network Planning can be used seamlessly with IMS Workflow, forcing planners to follow the correct process. In the event that IMS Workflow is not being used, IMS can be integrated into another workflow/order management system if desired.
Several tools are built in to assist in the planning and design of your network:
Manual and automated planning
VC4-IMS allows users to manually create, change, or delete network items and circuit routes.
The automatic connection configuration feature allows network operators to automatically plan connections and services in IMS. This functionality is based on "least cost routing". The rules for defining "costs" can be implemented based on customer requirements (for example, shorter distance, fewer jumps, less financial costs, or combination).
If necessary, IMS can link the automatic planning functionality to the IMS workflow engine so that workflows can be fully automated.
Change management
Network planners can plan a new vc4-IMS network, such as new equipment, new cards, new connections.
Existing networks can be updated. These updates can be planned in advance by allowing notification of all departments (e.g. NOC, Customer Service and Management) prior to these changes. After the changes have been successfully implemented, the object statues can be updated to "In Service". the previous configuration, such as old routing and port information, will be stored in ims history.
