Unlocking new data revenues with real-time contextual offers

Mobile operators can increase global data revenues by 15% by triggering upsell offers based on the real-time customer context (e.g. usage information, application access, location, profile etc). This is one of the main findings from a survey of 87 operators carried out in October 2014. This webinar discusses how operators can leverage real-time contextual offers to drive more data revenues.

Mobile operators could boost annual global data revenues by $47 billion through brushing up their upsell strategies, according to a report by BSS solution provider Openet.

Openet completely virtualizes BSS

BSS specialist Openet said Thursday that it has virtualized its real-time charging system, realising an agile and flexible system capable of testing, developing, launching and amending new services and business models much more quickly. The aim is to help operators accelerate the availability of innovative new use cases and applications to generate faster ROI for their network technology investments as they battle decreasing revenues from traditional services and pressure from OTT players.

Turning BSS agility into business ability

‘Agility’, a word used to gauge a company’s ability to respond to the market with flexibility, has become the operator watchword of 2014. It highlights the dawn of an era when operators require not only real-time visibility of their customer’s activity but also the ability to react in real-time to succeed.

Operator business ability linked to BSS agility

An operator’s approach to BSS (business support systems) – including billing, charging and policy – can determine how easy or challenging it is to respond to the market and maximise revenue opportunities. In a recent survey of over 100 operators by Telecoms.com Intelligence, 85 per cent acknowledged that market conditions require increasingly agile BSS systems enabling operators to provide service diversity and faster time to market.
