Strategy

Commercial & technical strategy

Be prepared: use our independent experience to develop robust strategies and technology plans

Our senior staff use their vendor and technology independent consulting expertise and experience to guide your business, and help your teams develop robust strategies to ensure you are ready, and can respond flexibly to whatever the future brings.

• Commercial strategy: use our independent, vendor-agnostic staff to assess options and provide your teams with a balanced view. The Digis Squared team’s deep experience of working on complex multi-vendor and multi-technology implementations across different regions, means that they have been involved in untangling and fixing many sub-optimal projects – use that knowledge to your advantage! In addition to commercial strategy development, we can guide you in vendor short-listing, run or assist RFPs and live trials, and manage or arbitrate existing contracts.
• Technology strategy: operators and enterprises use our team to provide independent, vendor agnostic expertise to develop technical and technology strategies to address your ambitions and resolve complex situations. We can provide an assessment of your current architecture and capability, identify opportunities and options for enhancement, and guidance on what to be avoid or be wary of during implementation. We’ll also help you to assess which actions are necessary to create room to enable that additional spend.
• Technology sunset: our experts can guide your teams in developing strategies to manage technology migrations, as old technologies retire into the sunset and new ones rise to take their place. Develop clear plans to ensure that legacy technologies are managed-out before regulatory licenses end or they become uneconomical, and develop the technical implementation plans to smoothly migrate across to new more efficient technologies.

Network launch

E2E network launch

• New service introduction: our teams can guide you on both technical and commercial new service introduction. We work flexibly, so if your team just needs a helping hand, or if you want us to manage the entire process, we can do that. We have dedicated teams working on 5G, EDGE computing, NFV, IoT, Open RAN and other new technologies to develop and improve use cases, products, service portfolios and others using our AI, ML and Data Analytics capabilities.

SOC transformation

Service Operations Centre transformation

See the unseen – automate the identification and diagnosis of issues

A Service Operations Centre (SOC) dramatically transforms your NOC (Networks Operations Centre) into a customer experience centred, and economically efficient, automated system. The Digis Squared SOC takes a vendor-agnostic approach, taking data from network probes to see the unseen, reveal issues, automate complex rules to identify and diagnose problems, and then generate, prioritise and allocate trouble-tickets to the most appropriate resource. SOCs not only identify, diagnose and propose solutions, they work proactively to resolve issues, often before the customer is even aware of an issue.

Key Quality Indicators (KQIs) are used to reveal the real customer experience of,

• customers by segment (VIPs, corporates and enterprises)
• geographical hotpots (VIP customers and businesses, hotels, stadiums, airports, shopping malls, tourist sites etc)
• handset performance
• OTTs (over the top applications, such as YouTube, WhatsApp, Netflix and so on) – assessing buffering, latency, packet loss, stalling time and frequency, etc

… and AI then aggregates and analyses this data, and runs automated rules.

OTT KQIs (over the top app key quality indicators) can be analysed and assessed by,

• customer segments
• geographical hotspots
• network elements (Cells, clusters, PGWs/GGSN, APNs, ..)
• network nodes (GGSN, APNs)
• handset performance
• • network technologies (2G, 3G, LTE, 5G)
• and OTT app usage

….. to identify if the cause of a problem is the use of a specific OTT app.

Vendor independent expertise: the Digis Squared team have significant experience, in diverse SOC use cases – use this experience and expertise to your network’s advantage in implementing SOC in your business.
