How telcos, ISPs and hosting providers can leverage brand loyalty for profits
In the race to digital transformation, telcos, ISPs and hosting providers are under intensive pressure to perform.
Telecommunications industry executives are scrambling to migrate their organisations to the cloud, convert to 5G, integrate AI, analyse big data, adopt blockchain and not get left behind.
At the same time, their organisations are under constant scrutiny to reduce customer churn, attract new customers, cut costs and grow profit margins. It is not an easy industry to be in.
But atmail says there is some good news on the horizon, if CIOs, CMOs and Product Managers stop chasing mirages and instead look right in front of them to a product already (most likely) in their arsenal.

How AI can help in the fight against fraud
Telecoms fraud is an expensive business, writes Katia Gonzalez, the head of fraud operations at BICS. According to the most recent Global Fraud Loss Survey by the Communications Fraud Control Association, fraud cost the industry a huge US$29.2 billion last year alone. This figure was down by more than 23% on 2015’s total, which is certainly encouraging, but the potential remains for the various types and methods of telecoms fraud to do some substantial financial and reputational damage.

Can artificial intelligence help operators prevent customer churn and revenue drain?
Global mobile operators collectively lose tens of billions of euros annually, to customer churn. The impact of churn on a mobile operator’s profitability is of consequence.
Churn impacts the operator’s financials in several ways. Firstly, operators lose the future revenue that a churned customer can provide. Secondly, all the marketing investments and resources used to acquire the customer are lost.
Operators typically spend astronomical amounts on getting customers, even though the cost of retaining an existing customer could be as much as 50 times lower than acquiring a new client. This is a vast, yet relatively unexplored and potentially profitable opportunity for mobile operators.
Systematic churn prevention requires predicting and behavioural modelling based on a vast amount of data living in several locations on the network, and gets continuously updated.
Could artificial intelligence and big data be applied in an economical way to help operators turn around their churning customers? This needs dedicated resources and investments in big data analytics and machine learning, which would be able to detect low signals and see correlations that normal rule engines or humans cannot see.

How CSPs will create value in the digital revolution

EU roaming’s new challenges and opportunities for mobile operators
In June of this year the barriers to roaming data usage disappeared with the lifting of EU roaming surcharges, writes Matthew Jones, the head of mobile solutions at Telia Carrier. Immediately after the new legislation came into force, traffic on the Telia Carrier IPX Backbone network rose dramatically and this trend has continued across the summer. It was perfect timing for consumers as they started the summer exodus to the sun, but of course business users have also seen benefits that will positively and directly impact their operational costs.
