“Transforming Network Operations Center (NOC) into Service
Operations Center (SOC): A Paradigm Shift for Improving Customer
Experience (CE)”
Session Seven; Day 2; Thursday, 17 July; 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Joint presentation by:

|
Brightwell
S. Nkambule
Head of Information Technology
Botswana Telecom Corporation
|
Abhijit
Lavate
Sr. Product Manager - OSS
Tech Mahindra
|
Session Highlights:
Network Operations Centers (NOCs) are built for closely monitoring core/transmission
network. They are looked at as a vehicle to solve network problems and
to support Service Quality Management. This approach is reactive and network-centric
rather than customer-centric.
With increasing competition in Africa, “reducing churn” has become a critical strategic objective. Naturally, enhancing Customer Experience is taking precedence over Service Quality Management.
Consequently, NOCs need to be transformed into Service Operations Centers (SOCs).
