12.55 Moving beyond service assurance: Improving customer experience with Operational Intelligence

Operators are increasingly realising that the only way to differentiate in an increasingly commoditised market is to provide the best possible customer experience to maintain customer loyalty, drive profits and build brand recognition. Operational Intelligence is a new approach to improving customer experience that allows operators to move beyond typical network-centric Service Assurance by providing a dynamic, “outside-in” view of products and services as seen through the customers’ eyes. This presentation will discuss how OI achieves this by providing:

  • Visibility into real time customer experience by combining network performance with customer information
  • Insight into actual and expected performance and key metrics using real time analytics
  • Action in the form of automated responses to error conditions to resolve problems before they become visible to the customer.
