Independent business intelligence agents, specializing in telecommunications data acquisition and analysis, act as consultants to clients seeking to improve business practices.

There is no benefit to a telecommunications company if customers are lost as fast as they are gained. Telecommunications uses business intelligence to mine their customer data, allowing them to create bundling and other marketing strategies and increase customer satisfaction and retention. Extracting raw data from business office records, network traffic usage, and billing and service records, and presenting the data in an easy-to-understand format for managers, is a valuable service. A telecommunications provider can ensure continued profits by letting customer needs and expectations drive the services provided. Identifying these needs and expectations is a growing focus of telecom business intelligence as they seek to increase the ongoing profits of the telecom managers who hire them to mine the data.
The modern telecommunications industry is based on servers and networks.
Telecommunications business intelligence can help companies improve network access for their customers. In some cases, telecom business intelligence helps combat fraudulent schemes to steal network bandwidth, driving up costs due to lost revenue. Fraud detection methods can be used to report network leaks, providing the data needed for a claim for damages. Monitoring the traffic and availability of cellular networks can also provide data to ensure networks don’t drop calls too often. Poor network performance drives customers to look to other providers, so finding ways to ensure consistent and reliable network services ensures a satisfied customer base.
Telecommunications business intelligence can also inform management if profitability is being lost in a business organization. This can inform purchasing and hiring decisions. Data on key performance indicators help make organizational decisions. Externally, market opportunity analysis can help a telecommunications company expand its services to cover larger areas and acquire additional customer bases through the acquisition of competing companies.
