Communications service providers (CSPs) understand the operational advantages of utilizing big data to make better business decisions,identify risks and resolve issues in a timely manner while delivering a more personalized experience. But one of the biggest challenges they face in doing so are data silos across their business that make it difficult for them to build a big data picture. Guavus Reflex solves this issue and the problems of interoperability among multiple technology solutions by offering a single,AI-driven analytics platform that combines network-,machine-,and sensor-generated data. The platform not only gives CSPs a holistic view of their operations,but also provides contextual information by analyzing customer experience and enabling CSPs to make a digital transformation to better serve and engage their customers.

"The Guavus platform delivers a personalized customer experience by streaming real-time BDA,applying machine learning and AI to address service provider requirements as well as operating analytics for networks,customer care,security,subscribers,marketing,and IoT," said Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Deviki Gupta. "The platform processes more than 510 billion records,monitors 500 million devices,and analyzes more than 5,000 terabytes of data every day. It's built to address very large and complex CSP networks,and enables their smooth evolution to 5G and IoT."

Guavus delivers its analytics solutions to more than 450 million subscribers worldwide via leading CSPs,addressing a multitude of use cases. Its customer portfolio includes six of the seven largest telecommunications providers and three of the four top cable operators in the world. Its outstanding predictive maintenance,cybersecurity,network,telecom systems optimization capabilities,and subscriber intelligence enabled its acquisition by multinational tech provider,Thales Group. This acquisition is expected to help Thales better serve the BDA needs of its customers in the aeronautics,space,rail signaling,defense,and security sectors.

The combination of the right technology,effective organizational and product strategy,efficient distribution and sales channel strategy,and sound go-to-market strategy has established Guavus' dominance in the BDA market.

"In a fragmented market,Guavus has delivered valuable services to customers across multiple CSP segments and use cases,resulting in the rapid expansion of its customer portfolio," noted Gupta. "For this strong overall performance,Guavus has earned Frost & Sullivan's 2018 Customer Value Leadership Award."
