How valuable is your data?

Data Analytics is the identification, design and deployment of strategies, processes, skills, systems and data that can provide actionable intelligence resulting in business value. It is about the harnessing of the different varieties, volume, and velocity of data. To execute on this, and deliver improvements in areas such as customer experience or the reduction in customer churn, there are a number of operational issues including data integration.

TM Forum is leading the digital industry in delivering business value from data analytics through a range of best practices, thought-leading collaboration activities and research, in addition to services such as training and coaching to get you started.

Today’s competitive market demands that service providers and global enterprises maximize their business potential at all times, and making data-based decisions is the key to this success. Fortunately, service providers have a multitude of data, yet gaining value from this data is complex. Data Analytics is all about getting value from this data to:

  • Gain business advantage by improving margins on services
  • Increase revenue per customer
  • Improve customer experience across the lifecycle of the relationship
