Use cases

Customer experience

Without real-time data analysis, operators are too often left with only generic stock remedies to customers’ complaints, such as "restart your smartphone" or "restart your set-top box".


This often leads to a frustrated and dissatisfied customer calling repeatedly for more specific problem-solving, and with extended call durations. Precisely what you want to avoid. If the root of an upstart problem is not identified from the general influx of customer calls, technicians miss the window of opportunity to solve this problem before it branches out to other customers. When this occurs, the spark from an individual complaint can quickly develop into "wildfires," and the consequence is that a critical number of specialists and managers spend inordinate amounts of time trying to put the fires out.

BitSwan provides the method for extinguishing these problems before they can build. Basically, here’s how BitSwan works:

  • It analyses all network data in real-time, and in doing so initiates investigations immediately after first symptoms occur;

  • It identifies unique problems and their sources;

  • It can then pinpoint potential network outages, and immediately alert customer service operators with this critical and specific information.

Network Operation Centre

Ever-emerging technologies can overwhelm Network Operation Centres new alarms as they work to detect localized problems.

What they need is a tool that provides them with a comprehensive contemporaneous overview of the latest service technologies.

BitSwan evaluates alarms in real-time and responds only to those that point to a root cause. When analysing alerts, it applies a correlation of events in context. It provides operators with a new generation tool, enhancing the legacy umbrella for management systems.

Network Operation

As customers sense a deterioration in service, they individually report such instances to Customer Service.

As Customer Service operators field this influx of calls, they tend to treat each call as though it were an isolated incident, without being able to see that there is likely a specific problem common to all. Network Operation specialists then lose valuable time by having to discreetly diagnose data from each call, waiting for a problem commonality to emerge.

With BitSwan, these commonalities are detected in real-time, and immediately forwarded to Network Operation Center specialists so that they initiate actual problem-solving. This greatly reduces response time and leads to much enhanced customer service. This feature is of even further value to Network Operation engineers because it helps them to prevent network outages.

Omnichannel

With multiple support channels, such as mobile applications, Facebook or call centres, customers tend to switch support platforms somewhat arbitrarily, with the Call Centre often the last destination.

In such an instance, the call centre operator, unfortunately, does not have information about customer's prior attempts to solve the problems, and this can result in redundant detailed inquiries. Calls then become both lengthy and frustrating for both sides.

BitSwan mitigates this problem by creating an Omnichannel. It monitors all support channels, maps the entire customer journey, and detects repetitive customer calls to CC. BitSwan automatically notifies the CC operator that the calling customer has previously tried another support channel, but has failed to solve the problem. Through real-time operational reporting, Bitswan reduces unnecessary call time devoted to redundancies, and in doing so provides a better opportunity for customer's issue to be rectified in one efficient call.

PYTHON

Ride the new wave of software development. BitSwan is written in Python 3 so it utilises asynchronous processing and popular machine learning libraries.

MONITORING

Keep your hands on your data. Internal control mechanisms carefully monitor the entire platform and real-time processing of data.

OPEN PLATFORM

Don’t get locked in. A core part of the platform is released as open-source, allowing developers to build upon their own applications.

SECURITY

Shelter your data. Both the entire system and its individual components are enclosed in a powerful security perimeter.

REAL TIME

Trigger actions right now. BitSwan processes data in real time as it occurs. It is designed to handle the most challenging real-time tasks.

IN MEMORY

BitSwan is able to analyze huge streams of data in memory outperforming traditional batch-processing analytical tools.

SCALABILITY

Don’t put limits on your growth. Thanks to the internal container architecture, new components can be quickly added to increase computational power.

DOCKER

Fully utilize your infrastructure. The container architecture allows you to install BitSwan on any type of infrastructure (on-site server, private cloud or public cloud).
