Alden ONE: How Joint Use Software Turns Your Data into Action
Behind-the-scenes heroes power our nation's critical utility joint use infrastructure. Utility asset owners, engineering firms, construction companies, and joint use attachers work together to maintain our electric and communications systems — helping our society to function smoothly.
With such high stakes, coordinated communication is vital. Utility providers must share asset data to effectively collaborate and keep projects on track. Failure to do so can put you out of compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or state regulations and can cause project delays. No one wants that.
Data is collected daily about utility poles and other asset equipment to which all project stakeholders need access. Although companies in the utility space focus on differing priorities, such as safety or speed of deployment, everyone can agree on one thing: Data insights shared across teams are the catalyst to proactive joint use asset management.
So, how can you simultaneously sort through data to get the intelligence you need while ensuring you communicate those insights with the necessary partners? Read on.

Alden ONE offers robust visibility by turning captured data into insights for leaders and keeps all utility stakeholders connected. In short, the platform brings clarity and control to joint-use collaboration.
Breaking Down the Features of Alden ONE
General System Searching Helps Save You Time
Searching and querying lets you pull data using specific parameters. For example, you can perform keyword searches for map locations and numeric searches for pole numbers — letting you easily navigate asset records throughout the crowded database.
Alden ONE also includes query filtering tools to narrow in further on search results. For instance, you can refine queries based on criteria like current assignment, state, city, or conversation status. Search criteria can be saved so you can quickly run prior searches without having to recreate the search each time.
Share Data Reporting to Drive Outcomes
Next on the list is data reporting on what's stored in the system. Alden ONE lets you run reports in two main ways:
- Ad-hoc (as needed) to export data upon user command
- Scheduled presets that determine when a report will get emailed or uploaded into another system
Individual users or entire teams will receive project progress updates on the items for which they are responsible. The system allows individuals to produce reports, or company-specific updates, for any utility asset owner, pole attacher, engineering firm, or other key partner.
Dashboards Empower Internal Analysis
There's no better way to extract meaning from your data than through "seeing the numbers." Alden ONE dashboards provide business intelligence for swift decision-making by presenting and visualizing data in near real time.
Dashboards display project progress, illuminate activity patterns, and reveal problem areas, such as recurring maintenance issues. This empowers your team to proactively fix known problems and continue what's working in your operation.
