Revolutionizing telecommunications with AI-driven customer experience & AI Ops: a collaborative approach

The ground-breaking collaboration between Accenture, Google, and Pega doesn’t just redefine how Communication Service Providers (CSPs) operate and interact with their customers; it also offers a clear and defined path to value. Showcased through the TM Forum Catalyst project 'GenAI Genie Redefines CX' this partnership demonstrates how leveraging cutting-edge technology can lead to significant improvements in customer experience, revenue, and operational efficiency.

The challenge and opportunity

CSPs face a critical challenge to increase EBITDA. TM Forum set a moon-shot goal to boost EBITDA by 30%. Our GenAI Genie project tackles this challenge head-on, combining innovative use cases with established technologies to deliver remarkable results in 3 years:

21% reduction in customer churn

Over $2.50 increase in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)

8% reduction in operational costs within three years

These metrics underscore the tangible benefits of this collaboration, promising even greater outcomes as the partnership continues to evolve.

A framework for success

At the core of this initiative is a comprehensive framework that integrates multiple use cases within a unified system:

Complex event listening: utilizes Google Cloud to monitor and identify potential customer issues or opportunities.
