US Patent:

20070255656, Nov 1, 2007

Filed:

Sep 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/540215

Inventors:

Traci Olson - Olathe KS, US
Brian Hattaway - Lenexa KS, US
Guy Bower - Avon Park FL, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 40

Abstract:

An exemplary method and system for administering a construction activity for a telecommunications company can include designing the activity, transmitting the activity to a second datastore, and communicating the one or more tasks. The first datastore may include an inventory of at least one of one or more tasks and inventory items and the second datastore may provide a communication interface for a first entity managing the activity and a second entity completing the one or more tasks to accomplish the activity at a construction site, where the one or more tasks can be communicated to the second entity. Moreover, the second entity can create a change in plan and communicate the change in plan to the second datastore, which in turn communicates the change in plan to the first datastore. Generally, once the change in plan is approved, a task is completed for the activity. The second entity can communicate the completed task directly to the second datastore, which in turn may populate the first datastore inventory with the completed task.

US Classification:

717105

Abstract:

A system and method for providing cost estimation in performing a work project on communications infrastructure may include accessing a first data record generated by a first software tool, where the first data record includes data that specifies a work project on communications infrastructure. A second data record utilized by a second software tool may be populated utilizing the data of the first data record. A data set that is related to a combination of a first data element and a second data element of the first data record may be accessed. Using the second software tool, the data set may be presented to a user in a selectable format to enable the user to select a third data element from the presented data set, where the third data element may be used to estimate a cost for performing the work project. A cost estimate based on the third data element may be generated and presented to the user using the second software tool.
