Intergraph Corporation (Nasdaq: INGR) today announced that MTS Communications Inc., a subsidiary of Manitoba Telecom Services, Inc. (MTS) and the leading full-service telecommunications provider for the Canadian Province of Manitoba, has adopted Intergraph's G/Comms solution as their next-generation Geospatial Operations Support System.

According to David Rourke, executive vice president, Operations, MTS Communications Inc., "G/Comms will place MTS's facilities, equipment and structures in a flexible, high-performance database. This information system will provide operating efficiencies as well as significantly improve the speed at which we can deliver service to customers and our ability to leverage the network for increased revenues."

Tailored for the specific workflows of communications companies, G/Comms is a completely open, off-the-shelf solution that will enable MTS Communications to create and maintain a comprehensive geospatial facility model, allowing the company's network management community to more effectively plan, design, implement, monitor and manage all network elements. The net result of the company's investment will be significant cost savings realized from faster planning and build cycles, and higher quality and more reliable service for customers.
