case study:
outside plant synchronization
and xgspon flowthrough provisioning
Cane Systems was engaged by a leading fiber-to-the-home provider seeking to modernize their solution stack from order capture through provisioning, billing, and assurance. The customer needed to standardize systems and processes in order to support rapid footprint expansion and achieve ambitious revenue targets over the next several years.
With extensive OSS/BSS integration experience, Cane Systems was selected to focus on two critical transformation areas:
• Onboarding new geographic areas from the GIS platform into network inventory to enable automated provisioning.
• Streamlining order management and network inventory interactions to ensure a clean separation between business processes and technical execution.
Cane’s proven track record in solving complex OSS/BSS integration challenges across diverse systems and technologies worldwide made us uniquely qualified for this engagement. Working closely with both business stakeholders and technology vendors, we identified optimal integration points and methodologies. Leveraging industry standards and our multivendor expertise, we focused on maximizing existing system capabilities through careful modeling and configuration—minimizing reliance on bespoke software and reducing long-term costs.
Where new components were required, we applied integration best practices to design and deliver loosely coupled, future-proof interfaces. This approach not only protected the customer’s investment but also ensured flexibility to adapt as deployment architectures evolved.
Within nine months of kickoff, Cane Systems delivered a fully operational production system. Key outcomes included:
• Automated import and update of outside plant data.
• End-to-end L1/L2 automated provisioning of XGSPON services across the network.
• Operational playbooks covering necessary manual processes.
• Capacity reporting to proactively identify and mitigate network chokepoints.
Over the following two years, the loosely coupled integration architecture and API-first design principles enabled independent evolution of the network and order management stack. This minimized the need for costly full-stack upgrades, allowing the customer to focus on targeted component-level enhancements and incremental innovation.
This project highlights Cane Systems’ philosophy: software integration is not just a technology exercise—it is a business transformation initiative. Success comes from understanding the customer’s goals and aligning systems, processes, and controls to drive measurable business outcomes. Cane Systems delivers not just working software, but solutions that work for your business, the first time.
