Business Intelligence

To help increase customer profitability and achieve high performance in today’s marketplace, telecommunications and cable providers need richly detailed, 360-degree views of their customers—who they are, what they want and how they use the services they buy. That means being able to make sense of terabytes of customer data coming from more sources than ever before. In short, the challenge is to generate customer insight—leveraging advanced business intelligence and analytics capabilities—to operationalize customer centricity and help improve channel profitability. Companies need integrated views of their customers—the ability to see all the communications products and services that their customers use. Providers also must be able to analyze their product mix to assess the impact of new offerings on existing bundles. Many communications companies do not have in place, however, the analytics and business intelligence capabilities and tools that can provide a 360-degree view of consumers and enterprise customers, while also squeezing out all unnecessary costs. With better business intelligence capabilities based on advanced analytics and a powerful data warehouse, companies can tailor their offerings to their customers’ needs, shape demand and improve the value they derive from their diverse information assets.
