Ericsson

Ericsson (News - Alert) in June announced Ericsson Expert Analytics, a big data analytics platform that enables network operators like broadband providers and telephone companies to derive actionable insights from big data and to turn those insights into appropriate actions in real time. Expert Analytics is a fully configurable, horizontal platform that can support a wide variety of use cases for marketing, customer care, operations and network, based on fresh data from network nodes, OSS/BSS, probes, terminals, social media and others sources.

Going beyond big data analytics tools themselves, Ericsson has applied its deep network expertise to configure the platform to support a growing list of applications, including customer experience management. For instance, by correlating carefully selected network events with probe data and other metrics, Expert Analytics can identify both symptoms and probable causes of customer experience issues for all individual customers. The platform then exposes these insights to applications such as Ericsson Customer Experience Assurance, which in turn allows customer care to shorten call durations and improve first call resolution, and also enables service operations centers to become more proactive and reduce mean time to repair. Additional Ericsson and third-party applications will support other use cases, such as experience-based marketing, which enriches customer profiles with recent behavior and experience data, leading to superior targeting of marketing offers to individual customers.

Intelemedia’s (News - Alert) analytical reporting provides an in-depth picture of sales and customer service within the teleservices environment.

Intelemedia analytics provide deep actionable insight into how teleservices elements affect key sales and customer service metrics. The end results are improved performance within sales and customer service. Maximum performance improvement requires data beyond traditional, high-level, obvious facts such as number of calls, conversion rates, and abandonment. Clients need deep analytical data and applied insight to understand what is happening and how to improve performance. For example, if average speed to answer seems high and save the sales too low, what is driving this? To address and take action, you need the following comparative information at your fingertips in simple-to-understandable formats: how do the various time interval performances compare, how does call volume map to metrics throughout the day, changes in staffing, are the same quality of agents and call volume to these agents occurring, any volume changes based on the source of calls? This information is critical to determine internal or external elements affecting your environments and what specific actions can be taken to improve performance. Comprehensive analytics are the key to providing actionable solutions.
