Evolving telecom with AI-driven architectures

Within telecommunication companies, the application landscape for service and product provision has evolved rapidly but with excessive complexity, hindering the continuous market launch of new offering. The introduction of new services within Business Support Systems (BSS) present a significant challenge, often resulting in separated development and increased overhead.

Hence, there's a need for highly agile and innovative architectural solutions, leveraging AI to maximise ROI, enhance the end-customer experience, and improve operational efficiency. ICT architectures based on AI are poised to redefine the sector by deploying autonomous multi-agent models and copilot mechanisms to simplify and accelerate the realisation of new functionalities while reducing time-to-market and operational costs.

SOME EXAMPLES

Use cases supported by the new architecture

Reply's architectural framework transforms BSS system implementation by focusing on functional processes and knowledge base preparation, reducing extensive coding. This enhances core BSS processes, enabling hyper-personalised offers with optimised ARPU and maximised redemption rates. Additionally, it improves customer support efficiency, boosting satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Sales processes

Potential beneficiaries across sales cover the entire value chain, from lead generation to customer acquisition, up-selling, and cross-selling.

The new architectural paradigm enables precise control and optimisation of sales funnels, catalogues, and interactions with customers and partners through multi-agent knowledge. By focusing on customer needs and leveraging intelligent agents, it enhances conversation and maximises conversion.

Examples include improving catalogue lifecycle management with copilot agents assisting in proposal ideation and technical configuration, and personalising the sales funnel for consumers through tailored interactions and quoting processes in B2B, aiming to meet individual agent goals while aligning with corporate directives.

Customer service processes

The proposed architectural paradigm applies broadly in customer service, aiming to enhance loyalty and satisfaction, prevent churn, and facilitate retention through technical and administrative assurance.

Optimised workflows are crucial for promptly addressing customer needs across all communication channels. Specialised intelligent agents collaborate to autonomously resolve issues, while monitoring agents detect and resolve potential problems before they escalate.

The architecture's self-improvement feature, driven by feedback, ensures continuous enhancement of service quality. Examples of processes benefiting from this paradigm include personalised case management for consumers, churn prevention systems, and billing error analysis tools with AI agents aiding in corrective actions.

Rely on Reply's experience with Telcos

As the telecom sector rapidly evolves, Reply's AI-driven architectural approach could play a central role in enabling Telcos to adapt to market dynamics and customer needs with agility. This strategic shift could fundamentally alter how Telcos operate, directly impacting their development strategies and customer engagement.
