BSS/OSS System Augmented by SLA Management Software

The session will focus on the SLA Management software application that augmented O2's BSS/OSS system, and helped O2 move from a #4 position in its market to the #1 position. It will outline how to attain effective customer-centric service quality management, the benefits from augmenting OSS/BSS with a business application to automate Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, and how companies across the telecommunications industry can benefit from a customer-centric approach to operations enabled with SLA management software.

SLA and SQM Solutions for Customer Experience Insights

Dancziger and Holcombe will also discuss how telecommunications service providers can win and keep customers using SLA management. Many service providers are deploying SLA and SQM solutions in order to provide a detailed view of the quality experience they are delivering to their customers. SLA management has become a critical requirement for service providers, and is becoming a required part of SLA contracts.

"As corporate telecommunications customers demand managed service level agreements, service providers need to make that transition from viewing themselves as a manager of networks into an organization focused on customer needs," said Yisrael Dancziger, President and CEO of Digital Fuel. "As their customers request a higher level of accountability in the service agreements, service providers are under pressure to build a robust service management structure around total customer care."
