Realizing the real-time Digital Analytics Strategy for a multinational telco

Integrating the Ab Initio platform and providing contextualized, real-time insights across business units and functions for a telecommunications major

Client Background

Client: Indian multinational broadband and telecommunications provider; one of the largest operators in the region & in the world

Industry: Telecommunications

Services: Telephone operator and mobile network provider

Areas of Operation: Asia, Africa

Challenges

For one of the largest telcos in the Asia and Africa region, the analytics infrastructure was based on legacy and proprietary systems, which was providing canned reports with a day's lag. The delay in insights meant that the client incurred a high opportunity cost in the following areas:

Marketing

Customer behaviour is dynamic, and it is imperative to communicate to the customer and trigger the right offer at the right time in the context of the present life cycle event (like usage milestones, recharge, lifecycle lifelines like anniversary etc.)
Accuracy was necessary in the target customer offering so that there are no rejections because of "offer fatigue"
Measurement of the effectiveness and lifecycle management of the offers to the customers with close looping was not possible

Revenue Assurance

Revenue assurance was running 3 days behind the current day
Essentially revenue assurance was a manual activity

Operational Reporting

Data quality issues threatening the usability of the reports
High cycle time for creating and maintaining operational reports
Timeliness of reports and insights was a challenge

Solution

To increase the velocity and to handle the timeliness of the business requirement, the Wipro team created an innovative solution following best-in-class methodology. The solution had the following key elements:

Real-time business requirements were met by Ab Initio, which provided a comprehensive framework for ingesting and processing 29 billion records per day
The state-of-the-art data storage and high-performance processing environment was realized with Cloudera
The active data for reporting and consumption was realized using Oracle Exadata.
The entire solution was built with high levels of observability and operational agility.
Integration with business processes and augmentation of Insights in the context of the business process to maximize operational efficiency was achieved through OracleBPM suite.

Business impact

The client was able to implement its largest campaign using the Wipro platform.

300+ MN customers communicated per day - Campaign 6.5 MN subscriptions achieved

Revenue Assurance

A detailed framework was created for matching the usage, recharge, payment, charging transaction, so that any revenue-impacting anomaly can be detected. It contained more than 1,100 revenue management operational controls at various levels

Once the anomaly or revenue leakage was identified, a quick action was triggered to rectify the erroneous scenario. This had a direct impact on the bottom line for the client
