Quality of Experience

SCENARIO

The focalization on the consumer is leading to evolve from the concept of Quality of Service (QoS) to the wider idea of Quality of Experience (QoE). Perceived QoE is a relevant subject for both Network / IT providers and customers to check that the agreed service level is actually supplied. Two main factors contribute to consolidate user’s opinion regarding the perceived QoE:

  • Quality of User experience, in terms of actual service quality (setup time, available bandwidth, connection quality, etc.);
  • Quality of Customer experience, in terms of administrative interaction with the service provider (helpdesk efficacy, time to solve issues, accuracy of bills, etc.).
In order to improve these factors, the customer’s processes need to be optimized, with meticulous attention to: Traffic and Real-time multimedia Quality, Accounting and Billing, Fraud Management, Denial of Service Prevention, Assurance.

BENEFITS

A good QoE level provides a better customer satisfaction, thus reducing the need for Telco Operators to lower prices in order to improve customers retention. As a final result, Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is preserved and churn reduced, avoiding the mere price competition.
Also Enterprises are more and more involved in the QoE subject, in order to keep under control the Service Level Agreements (SLA) underway with the Operators, while ensuring to internal and external stakeholders the best service level.

Italtel provides best-in-class QoE Services leveraging its long-term experience in building real-time multimedia solutions both for Operators and Enterprises. The different parameters, that customers perceive as having a high impact on their Experience, are audited, analyzed and optimized by skilled Italtel consultants.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
