MACC is enhancing Customer Master to meet BDC requirements

by Mary White, Product Development & QA Manager

Ensuring your company can meet all regulatory requirements is one of MACC’s highest priorities. With this goal in mind, we are currently working on enhancements in Customer Master to enable your company to provide the needed data for the Broadband Data Collection (BDC) filing.

The BDC portal will open on June 30th and the filing deadline is September 1st, 2022. We currently plan to have enhancements for the BDC added to Customer Master before June 30th. If an upgrade to your company’s version of Customer Master is needed to receive the enhancements, your Software Support Representative will reach out to you.

The following enhancements will be added to Customer Master for the BDC:

Fixed Broadband Availability Data

Seven required fields for this filling will be added.
Importer functionality will be enhanced to assist with mass updates of address information.

Fixed Broadband Subscription Data

MACC will accommodate the new technologies required for the BDC report.

Fixed Voice Subscriptions

MACC will reproduce the 477 data report files for the BDC filing. These reports will be the same for both the 477 and BDC.

An important note relating to the BDC
The BDC requires companies to scrub their addresses against the FCC’s Location Fabric and to have your filing certified by a Professional Engineer. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your industry consultant and/or engineering firm for assistance with these aspects of the program.

Questions?
The MACC Team will continue to keep you updated on our progress with the BDC enhancements. If you have any questions regarding our response to the BDC, please reach out to your Client Relations Manager for more information.
