AIRCOM International and Teradata Form Strategic Partnership
February 2008 by Marc Jacob
AIRCOM International and Teradata Corporation announced a strategic partnership between the two companies to deliver
comprehensive network monitoring, integrated with an enterprise data
warehouse solution from Teradata for global telecommunications
operators.
2.5G and 3G telecommunication networks generate complex and extremely
large volumes of data. The next generation of telecomunication networks
(4G) will significantly increase data management complexity. As a
result, telecom operators will require an even greater level of
scalablability and reliability in their enterprise data warehouse
platform to assure high quality and seamless service to their
customers. The need for business intelligence will continue to grow,
and enabling AIRCOM’s ENTERPRISE suite to run with Teradata technology
will singificantly benefit customers who wish to make best use of the
vast quantities of data available to them.
AIRCOM’s Operational Support System (OSS) tools, such as OPTIMA, provide
operators with a near-real-time market snapshot, enabling them to
immediately identify and remedy any issues taking place within the
network and the ability to consider a number of ’what if’ network
optimisation and marketing scenarios. Data stored in the Teradata
warehouse will be used by OPTIMA so telecom operators can, for example,
identify customers for whom QoS (quality of service) is key and take
steps to immediately prioritize issues affecting them.
The partnership is based on Teradata’s award-winning enterprise data
warehousing technology (EDW) and AIRCOM’s OSS tool, OPTIMA.
