News Facts
To help communications service providers (CSPs) manage and analyze rapidly growing data volumes cost effectively, Oracle today introduced the Oracle Communications Data Model (www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/db/ocdm/index.html) .
With the Oracle Communications Data Model, CSPs can achieve rapid time to value by quickly implementing a standards-based enterprise data warehouse that features communications industry-specific reporting, analytics and data mining.
The combination of the Oracle Communications Data Model, Oracle Exadata (www.oracle.com/exadata) and the Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Foundation (www.oracle.com/us/solutions/ent-performance-bi/business-intelligence/index.html) represents the most comprehensive data warehouse and BI solution for the communications industry.
Also announced today (pressroom.oracle.com/search/search?group=PressReleases&keyword=) , Hong Kong Broadband Network enhanced their data warehouse system, going live on Oracle Communications Data Model in three months. The leading provider increased its subscriber base by 37 percent in six months and reduced customer churn to less than one percent.
Product Details
Oracle Communications Data Model provides industry-specific schema and embedded analytics that address key areas such as customer management, marketing segmentation, product development and network health.
CSPs can efficiently capture and monitor critical data and transform it into actionable information to support development and delivery of next-generation services using:
More than 1,300 industry-specific measurements and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as network reliability statistics, provisioning metrics and customer churn propensity.
Embedded OLAP cubes (tinyurl.com/28kzllm) for extremely fast dimensional analysis of business information.
Embedded data mining models (tinyurl.com/yep2v4k) for sophisticated trending and predictive analysis.
Support for multiple lines of business, such as cable, mobile, wireline and Internet, which can be easily extended to support future requirements.
With Oracle Communications Data Model, CSPs can jump start the implementation of a communications data warehouse in line with communications-industry standards including the TM Forum Information Framework (SID) (www.tmforum.org/InformationFramework/1684/home.html) , formerly known as the Shared Information Model.
Oracle Communications Data Model is optimized for any Oracle Database 11g platform, including Oracle Exadata, which can improve call data record query performance by 10x or more.
