Introduction Omnitele Performance Management in Nutshell Introduction to the Survey SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS Omnitele Vision and Offering in the PM

Domain Use cases Performance Management


1/4 Tools vs. Business Objectives?

Only 46% of the operators are satisfied in the way their PM tooling supports their business objectives.

What’s wrong?“In essence, a more customer experience oriented PM tooling would be nice.”

” We are moving in the direction of a more customer centric approach. Right now it is more of a network element approach.”

1 = very unsatisfied ... 5 = very satisfied


2/4 Amount of Tools?

Clear majority of operators have 2-5 PM tools in use while some MNOs use more than 10 tools for Performance Management

Omnitele Conclusion The amount of PM tools in use seems to be

rather high. Typically operators should be able to survive

with a single platform. Distributed systems result in distributed

challenges...


3/4 Effectiveness and Usability of Tools?

58% of operators are satisfied with tooling effectiveness and usability. Remaining 42% desire tighter integration of tools.

How to Improve?“Wholly I'm satisfied, but commonly the main problem is integration. Have to look at single tool at a time.”

“The tools should be more integrated and it would be nice to be able to use a single platform to control all 5 tools.”1 = very unsatisfied ... 5 = very satisfied


64% are somewhat satisfied to their PM process. The rest consider tooling is the main source of process challenges.

4/4 PM Process Efficiency?

Process Improvement?“I think the programs are very sophisticated, but I don't know if we are able to use them in the best possible way.”

“I would like to see complete integration of the systems.”

1 = very unsatisfied ... 5 = very satisfied


Conclusions

Operators have too many PM tools and the tools are too loosely integrated.

Typical Process challenges

Multiple stakeholders having multiple tools

Limited competence to get best out of the tools

A tsunami of multivendor challenges…

Typical Tooling challenges Too many PM tools in place

Complete integration of tools missing

Correlation of different data sources missing

Tool usability needs improvement
