I am delighted to welcome you to Experian’s International Telecom Forum 2014 in Rome on 12 and 13 June.

now in its 9th year, we are delighted the conference continues to draw a broad attendance from leading professionals across the industry on a global basis.

The economic downturn of the past years has hit hard the telecommunications industry across our emea region. keeping customers satisfied and loyal has become a true challenge as carriers struggle to differentiate themselves and deliberately provide relevant experiences to their customer base.

The end result in my view is that the customer wins and that is good. We have learnt to value our customers more and do everything at our hand to engage in a meaningful way with them. We have also learnt that the art of delivering customer experiences is about using various data assets meaningfully and consistently across our channels.

The 2014 edition, focused on the theme of “Unlocking the Value of Telecom Data” will cover how to better exploit the value of data to grow customer intimacy, make strategic decisions and improve efficiency and profitability.

I am sure that this year, you will all benefit from the program, which has been built with best in class keynote presentations and case studies illustrated by high profile speakers from prominent Telecom Institutions. The agenda will focus more than ever on how insight from data and analytics can assist Telecoms operators to inform and shape their future direction.

Through a combination of presentations, specialist parallel sessions and networking opportunities, we will bring together key industry players and experian experts to provide you with fresh insights, first hand experiences and responsive strategies.

I hope you will make the opportunity to meet and share your experiences with other delegates and arrange tailored meetings with our experian experts to help you deepen your knowledge on key industry topics. Your participation and contribution to the event is important to us and undoubtedly adds quality to the discussion over the next two days.

Thank you very much for participating at the forum and I trust that you will find the conference a worthwhile, stimulating and enjoyable experience. I wish you have a very pleasant stay.

kind regards,

CUSTOMER INTIMACY

Philippe JaouiMD Data Analytics & Consultancy EMEAExperian Marketing Services

Advanced analytics and customer segmentationThere’s no denying that marketing today is a two-way street. It’s no longer enough to simply “broadcast” to your customers. Faithful followers of your brand demand conversation and acknowledgement of loyalty, and they demand it through the channels they dictate, not the other way round. The most successful campaigns build interactive dialog with the customer across all channels, optimizing contact throughout their journey. But if brands are to capitalize on this new breed of customer behavior, they must first put in place the analytics that will deliver the deep customer insights that are the hallmarks of a successful cross-channel campaign strategy. however, while it goes without saying that insight, segmentation, predictive and location analytics should be components of any advanced cross-channel marketing program, getting the right analytics varies according to the sophistication of your campaign, how frequently you interact with the customer and through which channels you interact with them. In this presentation, we’ll take a look at the different types of analytics available, along with the benefits of each and the essential customer data you need in order to build them. We will try to help you understand more about how and why analytics can help you increase your campaign’s performance and customer value.

Analytics for Telecom Customer Intimacy Telco providers want to know, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that if they provide services to a consumer or a business that they are going to get money back. In trying to do this they have access to a wide and bewildering array of information about the individual or the business. The decision about how much weight to give to each piece of information - what is important and what is not - is a very difficult one to make. The pod describes how using analytics at any stage of customer life cycle is possible to summarize all of the complex information available focusing on the telecoms market reality.

Decision Analytics: meet PowerCurveTM Powercurve™ provides greater agility, flexibility, control and insight. It unlocks the value of your data and empowers your decision makers to better predict customer behaviour, anticipate change, reduce risk and drive strategic decision-making.
