Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 01, 2015
Big data is big news in telecom and IT, and is expected both to grow as a market and to revolutionize how telecom operators – among others – do business.
But the use of big data in telecom is still fragmented. Executive-level leaders such as chief data officers have, largely, not emerged at this point in most telecom organizations. Departmental projects and use cases still dominate how operators pursue big data. The underlying data management and “plumbing” systems – the architectures and appliances through which massive amounts of data are collected from massive next-generation networks, millions of devices, operating support and business support systems – are still being funded and put in place.
The element of time is a crucial consideration as it frequently impacts the costs of a big data implementation. Does a specific use-case call for real-time information? Is “fast data” good enough, or is the necessary information most useful if it is collated over time and triggered at just the right moment – and how do you know?
“Telecom companies have dealt with large amounts of data for years, but the ability to compile intelligence from multiple information sources and get it to the right people quickly is becoming more crucial to their strategies,” said RCR Wireless News Technology Reporter Kelly Hill. “Big data and analytics is moving toward real-time implementations that support automation in a number of crucial operations areas, although there’s still a long way to go.”
This report explores major trends in four areas where big data use is taking off in telecom: network performance and optimization; network security; customer experience management; and marketing/monetization. We also look at the organizational impacts of big data on the telecom’s business.
