“A successful big data analytics implementation helps service providers meet the challenges of today’s competitive markets. Applying deeper and timelier insights not only drives out inefficiencies and costs, but also improves customer experiences to reduce churn,” said Justin van der Lande, Head of Analytics Software Strategies at Analysys Mason. “Vendors with a deep understanding of the telecoms domain can better help service providers find, collate, and analyze appropriate data to generate the relevant insights and actions needed for them.”
“Amdocs is the only company in the industry with a contextual understanding of BSS, OSS and network data, as well as a deep knowledge of service provider business processes,” said Rebecca Prudhomme, Vice President for product and solutions marketing at Amdocs. “Our expanded big data analytics capabilities are integrated into our core customer experience management solutions portfolio, enabling service providers to differentiate their customer experience to new levels of customer satisfaction while improving operational efficiency.”
