Leveraging big data can result in substantial new revenue streams for service providers.  Amdocs also today released the results of new global research into consumers' attitudes towards data usage that shows that most consumers are willing to share personal data in return for improved customer service and financial reward.

Amdocs' Big Data Framework is centered on data management platforms for data storage and processing; analytics platforms to execute algorithms and derive business value out of operational data; and a business execution layer for vertical applications targeting unique business challenges in domains such as marketing, customer care and network planning.   

Amdocs CES 9 has been designed to help operators unlock the potential of big data and streamline operational processes, understand customers at an individual level and improve profitability through better churn management, targeted cross- and up-sell and effective product introductions.

Big data capabilities in CES 9:

• Amdocs Proactive Care leverages transactional big data and behavioral content together with real-time customer events to anticipate potential care issues and preemptively address them across all channels. It enables service providers to attain prediction accuracy of up to 95 percent* and reduce contact center costs by up to 20 percent*
• Amdocs Tera Scale employs Apache's Hadoop open-source software framework for scalable data-intensive distributed computing, to reduce data management and storage costs
• Amdocs Elastic Online Charging, a main enabler for adopting big data technologies, allows dynamic allocation of charging resources. It uses high-availability cloud topology enabling service providers to scale servers up and down, with no downtime, gain failover support and reduce hardware costs

Amdocs' leadership in big data analytics extends well beyond the product level. The company's big data professional services span consulting, data science, implementation and testing, and its experts combine in-depth understanding of the unique challenges of telecom-specific business process with analytic modeling. Amdocs is co-leading the TM Forum's Frameworx Big Data Analytics project.

"Most service providers are only using a small portion of the data they hold because of challenges such as data integration and management," said Steve Cotton, director of business assurance programs at TM Forum.  "Drawing on its expertise, Amdocs' contribution as a co-leader of our Big Data Analytics project is helping to provide needed guidance for service providers on managing and profiting from their data resources."

"While 'big data' is a simple term, the reality for service providers is complex: they face multiple challenges in managing the ever-growing volumes of data in their business and operational support systems," said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice president of product and solutions marketing at Amdocs.  "Amdocs' unique approach, combining product leadership with proven expertise in services, helps service providers navigate this new landscape to unlock the untapped value within their data– and improve the customer experience."
