HP this week introduced a portfolio of solutions to help communications, media and entertainment companies unlock the value that exists within their vast stores of customer and operational data.
HP CentralView business software solutions, supported by professional services, provide communications, media and entertainment (CME) companies with a single, intelligent view of customer-related data as well as the monitoring and analysis tools to rapidly transform that data into actionable business information for decision-makers.
Designed specifically for the CME industry, HP CentralView gives CME companies consolidated access to batch and real-time data from multiple “siloed” operations and business support systems (OSS and BSS). It utilizes the capabilities of enterprise data warehouse platforms, such as HP Neoview and Oracle, to provide both strategic and operational business intelligence benefits.
The HP CentralView portfolio is modular, open, standards-based and pre-integrated by HP, so CME companies can implement specific solutions incrementally based on business need. This approach allows a high degree of flexibility, while reducing costs. Also, existing legacy applications can be fully integrated with HP CentralView.
With HP CentralView, CME companies, including wireless and wired operators, can make more informed decisions about their strategic business interests, such as new service opportunities, customer retention, customer credit risks, fraud detection and management and, ultimately, the protection and growth of revenue.
“As service offerings become more complex within today’s consumer-driven markets, service providers are learning to use a valuable competitive weapon – their own data,” said Karl Whitelock, senior consulting analyst, Stratecast, a division of Frost and Sullivan.
“With a consolidated view that distills massive amounts of customer-centric data, CME companies can enhance the speed and quality of their decision-making – and, ultimately, their ability to win in the market. Through this product launch, HP is demonstrating its understanding of the importance customer data provides as a critical tool for successful business operations.”
