Japanese A unique approach to understanding and addressing RAN customer experience
Actix Customer Experience Analytics provides a unique approach to understanding and addressing RAN customer experience. The solution takes real customer experience data and combines it with business data to power analysis that can drive significant improvements in customer experience.
Real customer experience
To establish the true experience of customers the Actix solution captures call measurement data from subscribers. Call measurements are geo-located to establish where the subscriber is. Quality of experience KPIs are generated and segmented by who the customer is, which handset they are using, the call type, the time of day, whether they are a roamer and whether they are indoors.
This granular visibility into real customer experience allows operators to move away from network centric views to build a picture of the customer experience delivered to people, places and handsets. This customer centric approach allows operators to understand for example:
- where data card users are eating network data capacity
- dropped call rate for iPhones in a central business district
- roamer coverage at train stations
Business correlation
Actix allows operators to move beyond just looking at customer experience. By enabling correlation with key business data Actix allows operators to establish the impact of customer experience on the business.
Churn records, customer complaints, account information and information on key business locations can be used to establish where customer experience problems are causing business impact. By align customer experience to business impact operators can understand:
- if VIP corporate customers have poor indoor coverage at their corporate head quarters
- where poor coverage is resulting in customer complaints
- locations where poor data performance is causing iPhone customers to churn.
Actionable Analysis
By combining real subscriber and business data Actix provides unique visibility into how customer experience impacts the operator. The next step is to allow actions to be taken on this new information.
Dashboards and reports allow customer experience data to be used to better support prioritization, management decision making and ROI analysis. Dashboards also provide improved support for marketing activities and management of outsource partners.
Flexible analytics combined with out-of-the-box functionality allows key engineering processes to be streamlined including planning and network performance optimization.
Actix allows operators to move beyond “plot and see” analysis and to use customer experience data to automatically alert on network quality, plus congestion and performance issues that impact customers and the business.
