Telecom Survey Reveals Operators’ Digital Transformation Challenges
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) August 17, 2016 -- UXP Systems, the leader in User Lifecycle Management, announced today the results of Part 2 of a European Operator Survey that highlights business drivers, challenges and business needs for operators transitioning to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
In part 2 of a comprehensive digital transformation survey performed at the CEM in Telecom event in Prague last month, UXP Systems asked operators to identify the drivers behind their transformation projects, to list their biggest challenges, comment on the role of digital identity and highlight the business needs they hope to deliver through these transformations.
“For this survey we asked Customer Experience Management experts from some of the largest Telecom operators in Europe to discuss these issues as a group and share their observations in areas within the digital transformation domain,” said Jim MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer at UXP Systems. “One of the most common themes to emerge from the findings was the importance of placing a robust digital identity offering at the centre of their transformation plans. In the digital world, having a relationship with every household and business user is not optional.”
As an example, survey participants were asked about the role of Digital Identity in Operator Transformation projects. The top 3 responses were:
1. Our company has identified the need to consider digital identity as an important / strategic operator service.
2. A platform that can unify disparate operator services around a single user's Digital ID would be a competitive advantage for us.
3. Identity and Access Management is no longer enough; we need to enable a comprehensive digital identity service that supports group management, delegation, revocation, roles & sharing, entitlements and data capture.
In terms of the needs of their business, the operators mentioned the challenges they faced with their existing back-end systems. 82.5% of survey respondents agreed with the statement: “If we could build the infrastructure we need to support digital services today and in the future without having to change or modify our B/OSS systems, that would be extremely valuable.”
“There is no question that operators are striving to put themselves at the centre of their user’s digital life,” said Mark Mortensen, Research Director and Practice Leader at Analysys Mason. “These findings highlight the need for operators to consider the lifecycle of every individual who consumes a service in order to provide a competitive user experience, and that managing every user’s lifecycle will be critical for them as they plan for the digital future.”
