Overview
The business landscape for communication service providers is rapidly evolving. With reducing voice revenues, market saturation and increased competition, their greatest challenge today is to continuously improve both Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and Average Margin Per User (AMPU) including faster time-to-market of new services. To top that, service providers today are finding it increasingly difficult to retain existing subscribers, let alone acquire new ones.
The primary roadblock to achieving the above objectives is that many service providers lack enterprise wide and subscriber-centric revenue, cost and margin visibility and a real-time mechanism to study the financial impact of operational changes on profitability. This lack of real time visibility stems from the fact that most BSS functions continue to operate as silos thereby leading to un-correlated and massively un-utilized data within the service provider's operational infrastructure.
