Market Trends: Worldwide, OSS and BSS Help Bridge the Customer Experience Gap, 2011 – Key findings:
CSPs give top priority to customer experience improvement initiatives as a means to retain customers, reduce churn, stimulate usage and attract new customers based on user recommendations.
Customer experience should prompt CSPs to remove organizational and systems silos between OSS and BSS, and CRM.
Network-facing OSS and customer-facing BSS and CRM systems need to work in a federated fashion to positively affect the quality of experience.
CSPs need to exploit the wealth of technical and commercial data they possess, cohesively shared as part of enterprise wide initiatives.
