As your networks and services evolve, your Customer Experience Management (CEM) solutions must keep pace. If they don’t, the overall experiences you deliver will be degraded – because you lack the insights from all network and service domains. Customer using new or enhanced services — like VoLTE — will be left outside the scope of your CEM solutions.

That was the situation that confronted a major operator, an OpCo of a leading European operator group. As provider of mobile and fixed connectivity service, digital entertainment and custom business solutions, it saw itself as a champion of today’s digital lifestyles and professional needs. So, customer experience is paramount, if the operator is to realize its vision of treating the customer as ‘King’.

A key challenge was that the existing CEM solution that had reached end-of-life. It could not support VoLTE – and had no roadmap towards 5G. Moreover, the KPIs it could provide were insufficient to support the operator’s focus on quality and outstanding experiences.

In Addition to Service Coverage Issues, Three other Challenges Emerged:

  • Static, inflexible reports that no longer met internal needs
  • Access to real-time data for troubleshooting and prioritization
  • Drill-down capabilities to access raw data, when required

With that in mind, the operator sought a solution that would meet these challenges – and provide a roadmap for future network and service evolution.

Polystar emerged as the outstanding vendor partner during the selection process — and was selected as the new solution provider. In just 9 months, the joint teams had deployed a new CEM and analytics solution that scaled to traffic flows 2 TB/sec – and covered all required service domains.

In this new solution, OSIX Monitoring provides data ingestion and e2e call trace capabilities. KALIX Analytics, meanwhile, provides versatile portals with pre-built and customizable workflows to cater for the needs of diverse user groups.

Not only does the Polystar situation meet and solve all the existing challenges, but it also offers a range of additional benefits:

  • Full correlation and insights for both traditional Circuit Switched (CS) voice and for Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
  • All voice and data metrics and detailed technical KPIs on the Uu interface between the User Equipment and the RAN
  • Full access to high quality analytics data giving the analytics team a single source of truth
  • State-of-the-art graphical user interface, with tailored reports serving different user groups’ needs, customization capabilities, and ad-hoc reporting options
  • Near real-time alarming on customer experience degradations to support prioritization for operations and issue resolution at customer care
  • Direct drill-down enabled from analytics data to events and traces for the perfect analysis workflow
  • Individual views and access per user/topic under investigation, and improved reporting layouts
  • KPI visualization in a map view
  • Ready to support 5G Standalone (5G SA)

With Polystar, the operator has gained a solution that is tuned to its future needs – a single Customer Experience Assurance solution that delivers.

“Delivering accurate CEM is a constantly moving target,” said Mikko Pokkinen, Chief Sales Officer at Polystar. “As the leading challenger to the incumbent, our partner has earned its reputation for quality. We’re proud to support the next phase of its journey, with solutions that combine broad network and service assurance with the flexibility needed to sustain CEM excellence - strengthening the operator's position as a leader in quality.”
