Section I: The Situation
Industry Dynamics Increase Complexity of Product Execution
3
Data Rich but Knowledge Poor
• Rapid change at the business level:– Consolidation and new technology increasing scale and number
of offerings– “Stickiness” of services and packages– Customers technically aware and impatient: pressure to
understand relative weight of customer experience factors– Business processes with manual or bypassed steps: pressure
to understand inconsistent customer experience?
• Reveals issues at the IT level:– Multiple, redundant Support systems– Disparate data sources, often in their own silo– “Swivel-chair” integrations– Data quality impacts: “garbage in, customers out”

3 Factors to Product Success
Market
ServiceNetwork
Capabilities and Capacity (by cost and location)
Products and Services(by revenue, cost, bandwidth, and competitiveness
Customers and Prospects(by segment and service)
8
Product Success Factors - Questions
• Network: What does the supply side look like? How do we minimize CAPEX?
• Service: What is optimal mix based on revenue, cost, bandwidth, and competition?
• Markets: What are the patterns of growth, penetration, churn and ARPU?
These factors are interrelated

Prospect Data Analysis & CleanseAnalyze customer and prospect address data against:• Postal files• Demographic data• Network availability
(GIS integration)• Known customers
Actual Results: UK operator, over 1 million missing premises within a footprint of ~8 million~200,000 of these are immediately addressable providing an additional market of $230 Million per annum
14
Campaign PrioritizationAll prospective missing premises within 20m of the network
(indicated by ? symbol and grey shading).
A list of target prospects is automatically generated, reviewed, and exported to marketing system
Actual Results: 23% reduction in direct marketing expenses
15
Capacity-Based Sales Management
• Boundaries and capacities shown on this theme
• Potential of 48 sales for L3 area (yellow highlight) with no incremental CAPEX
• Surrounding cabinets show remaining capacity for telephony (black) and CATV tap (pink)
• Potential of 9 Triple-Play sales in designated region
• Allows prioritization of cross-selling and new sales activities
16
Network and Business Integration
Combine capacity
information with
physical network,
premise and prospect
data.
Sales campaigns can
then focus on matching
supply and demand

Data Sources• Physical network (ducts, cabinets…) • Logical network (boundaries, capacity,
services…)• Market (prospects, customers, billing data,
churn, propensity…)• Products and Services (tariffs, packages,
network requirements, billing details)• External data sources:
– Postal Address File/OS Address Point)– Demographic data– Map Data
21
My Forecast
• Marketing interfaces will be increasingly tailored to facilitate human intelligence:– spatial mapping, pattern analysis, workflow tools
• After forecasting, product success depends on a new level of product, service, and network data integration to capture projected market
• “Garbage in, Customers out” – your customer’s experience is only as good as your data
