How AI Empowers Communication Providers to Move Customers to Cutting-Edge Products

Challenge: A significant portion of Communication Service Providers' (CSPs) customer base still relies on legacy products like DSL, T1 lines, POTS lines, and legacy PBXs. These products may be familiar to customers, but they deliver sub-par service compared to modern offerings and are expensive for CSPs to maintain.

The Data Labyrinth: Migrating these customers seamlessly to innovative solutions presents a complex challenge. Decades of accumulated data on legacy products can be riddled with inconsistencies due to historical limitations and siloed systems within CSP operations. This makes it difficult to:

• Identify customers: Accurately pinpoint which customers are still subscribed to legacy products due to data quality issues between Order Management Systems (OMS), Provisioning Systems, Actual Usage data, Billing Systems, and Customer Ticketing Systems. Inconsistencies can arise from:
  • Outdated information in legacy systems not reflecting current subscriptions.
  • Discrepancies between what was ordered, what was provisioned, and what the customer is actually using.
  • Inaccurate billing data leading to incomplete customer records.
• Understanding usage: Gaining a clear picture of each customer's actual usage patterns for legacy services, due to potential inconsistencies in usage data
• Crafting targeted messaging: Developing personalized communication that resonates with each customer's needs and motivating them to migrate.
• Plan customized migrations: Creating individual migration plans that fit each customer's specific situation, even with potential data gaps.

This intricate web of challenges, combined with data quality issues, hinders CSPs from fully capitalizing on the benefits of modernizing their service portfolio.
