Fiber Deep Actuals vs Forecast

A leading service provider was conducting technology trials of Fiber Deep technology. They needed to understand how the cost of deploying the technology compared with their original forecast.

• DTS worked with the client to model and forecast build cost
  • Worked with client to understand deployment scenarios
  • Engaged with the Engineering and Construction teams to model cost assumptions relating to the deployment
  • Compiled a detailed cost model to forecast costs by market
  • Worked with Construction and Finance teams to gather trial data

• Conducted a detailed analysis of the trial data:
  • Classified trial cost data based on modeling assumptions
  • Compiled relevant construction statistics for trial nodes
  • Compiled analysis comparing modeled costs with trial actuals
  • Reviewed variances with Engineering and Construction teams and identified key factors driving variances

• The client was able to model cost impact of new technology and develop a cost forecast.
• The client was able to analyze actual costs of technology trials and compare with the forecast and identify key factors driving variances.
• The analysis helped the client better understand the true cost impact of the new technology to enable them to develop a more accurate plan for field deployment.
