About NexusWorx
NexusWorx, originally termed Fiber Management Tool (FMT), is a software program developed by the SpatialAge
group of Byers Engineering Company as an extension of the company’s
Engineering Work Order OSP engineering design and facility management
system. FMT was first implemented in 2003 for two of the
company’s major telecommunications (telco) customers and, in 2007, was
adopted by Florida’s Department of Transportation. At that time,
FMT was modified to be a stand-alone solution including specific
features for supporting intelligent transportation system facilities.
With the proliferation of fiber optic networks by both competitive
telecommunication provides and non-traditional entities, the need for
simple and easy map based application to manage fiber optic facilities
has increased. In 2008, in response to this growing demand, FMT was
renamed NexusWorx
and offered as a hosted solution. (The name is derived
from the Latin word for network.) At that time, staffing was
augmented to include management, customer support, product development,
applications and product management, implementation, sales and in-house
development. Many of the staff have telecommunications
backgrounds, which helps ensure that knowledge of the industry is
integral to the software development process.
About SpatialAge Solutions
SpatialAge,
the software and data services group of Byers, was formed in the
early 1980s to provide data conversion for several large telco
customers. To facilitate efficient manual-to-digital conversion, the
group developed an internal CAD solution in the mid ‘80s; in the
late ‘80s, SpatialAge developed the Engineering Work Order
system in this CAD environment -- an application still in use today by
AT&T Southeast and Centurylink as well as other ILECs throughout
the United States. Today SpatialAge provides software solutions to over 20,000 licensed users to multiple telecommunications and utility customers.
