Communications companies use Business Intelligence software to continuously improve the products and services they offer, while reducing customer churn and improving customer profitability.
Nine of the top 10 global Communications companies rely on the MicroStrategy BI platform to make more effective decisions, especially in the following business areas:
Customer Analysis
» More accurately determine the lifetime value of customers by not only analyzing current contracts, but by also combining analysis of customer behavior, life events, contracts, and usage information
» Measure profitability by customer through the combination and analysis of customer data across all services in use
Operations & Financial Analysis
» Improve revenue assurance by viewing billing and account information at a more granular level and analyzing outstanding payments, underpaid services, and other issues
» To improve analysis of customer base, measure financial results specific to a service offering by combining aggregate financial data with customer usage statistics of each service
Sales & Marketing Analysis
» Prevent churn by targeting the most profitable customers as well as the customers most likely to leave with promotions, offers, or personalized VIP services
» Target customers that are most likely to respond with offers that highlight a small, personalized subset of offerings, as opposed to the entire spectrum of offerings in the portfolio
Product Analysis
» Combine services into bundles and price them effectively by analyzing and predicting effects of business and subscribers, based on historical trends of promotions and attrition
» Utilize customer statistics, especially demographics, billing history, and usage patterns, in the product development cycle to create services targeted directly at a specific customer segment
Service & Call Center Analysis
» Improve customer trouble resolution by combining physical implementation data with customer account data to isolate and solve technical issues faster
» Improve the speed and accuracy of getting a newly developed service set up in provisioning and billing by simplifying the reports each time a service is developed
» Focus customer service improvements and training updates on the highest profitability services, by analyzing the amount of customer service requests in comparison to the advent of new services or increased adoption by existing customers
