Research and Markets: Actionable versus Predictive Intelligence: Nuanced Approaches to Operational Analytics


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fd3z2b/actionable_versus) has announced the addition of the "Actionable versus Predictive Intelligence: Nuanced Approaches to Operational Analytics " report to their offering.

This report will focus on the NetBoss solutions for actionable intelligence; Nokia's (News - Alert) predictive operations solutions; IBM's and Nokia's flirtation with cognitive networking; and Ericsson's experience-driven platform approach to expert analytics.

The stakes have never been higher for communication services providers (CSPs). Struggling against physics, economics and well-funded, lightly-regulated competitors, CSPs continue to build networks and operate businesses that must support the insatiable demand of billions of technology usrs, and the continual introduction of innovative applications. The higher the stakes, the more intelligence CSPs need to make informed decisions about how to manage their networks and businesses. And, the more complex their operations become, the more automation CSPs need to incorporate. Automation, in turn, requires yet more intelligence.



So, the big question at hand is: From where will all of this intelligence come? Surely, CSPs do not lack data; but turning their data into useful intelligence takes increasingly sophisticated analytics.

But, there are other questions as well:


- How does the intelligence differ for decisions that must be made on the spot versus decisions affecting more long-term planning?

- Who decides which data is useful for developing the intelligence?

- What actions can be confidently automated?

- How can a CSP (News - Alert) foresee all the consequences of an automated action?

- Can a CSP trust its operations, its network and its business to a set of algorithms and a machine?

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Introduction
  2. The Role of Network Operations and Analytics
  3. Taking the Roadmap Seriously
  4. In Search of Actionable Intelligence
  5. Looking Ahead with Predictive Analytics
  6. Cognitive Networking Inches Closer at IBM (News - Alert)
  7. Back to the Practical
