SAS Customer Intelligence in Communications Forum

May 04 & 05 2020

7th Floor, 199 Bishopsgate,
London EC2M 3TY

Engage customers with confidence. Turn your customer data into better experiences.

This two-day forum will focus on the shifting landscapes and capabilities of Customer Intelligence (CI) data and how CI analytics play a critical role in experience management across the communications industry.

Now more than ever, organisations are required to use customer intelligence data to make real-time and accurate decisions. And then create relevant and personalised experiences. At SAS, we know that it is not without its challenges. We understand that your challenges are constantly evolving and are also often more specific and nuanced in the communications industry, to name a few:

  • High volume of data sources (network data, usage data, product data, consumer data)
  • KPIs to be managed (arpu, churn, NPS, profit, satisfaction)
  • Decisions to make (upsell, cross-sell, retention, on-boarding)
  • When to make decisions (real-time, on-demand, broadcast, batch)

Together these challenges create a dynamic decisioning world. SAS aim to help clients navigate these by sharing experiences and lessons learned from your industry colleagues and peers. Not only does this allow for deeper and more relevant discussions, it also provides opportunities for you to network with likeminded individuals from across the globe.

SAS will also paint a vision for the future, create a view on the industry today, and outline how our capabilities can help you succeed in overcoming the challenges you face.

Who should attend

This Forum is designed for Marketing, Business and IT Leaders across the communications industry with a goal to improve decisioning and exceed customer expectations.

Registration is free of charge

Successful execution of an analytics, and thereby AI strategy, needs the right balance of choice and control.

Choice

Creativity and innovation flourish in open spaces. You need flexibility and freedom to attract the best analytical talent, use a wide variety of techniques and develop processes that work best. You need the flexibility to use multiple programming languages and analyze any data in any environment and to keep up with accelerating demands.

Control

Analytics chaos can creep up. Once you lose control of your data, you lose trust in the system and its outputs. Transparency, governance and security become essential for maintaining trust in models and analytical results. Becoming even more critical as you scale development, monitoring and refinement of analytics applications and their associated processes.

At the intersection of data, software, and ingenuity, the future is being redefined. After all, when curiosity meets capability, progress is inevitable.
