The impact of smartphones in the network
Leverage Real-Time Device, Service, Experience, and Network Analytics to
Transform your Customer Service Strategy
The past year has seen the intersection between Customer Experience
Management, customer service and real-time analytics.
In addition, a vast quantity of network and service management data continues to
be under-utilised. This presentation will discuss:
• How to drive down customer support costs by leveraging experience analytics
captured on the device
• How to empower better CEM through an integrated dashboard with a unified view
into network, service and device status, service usage data, location information
and vendor statistics
