SWOT analysis

Work flow chart

Conclusion The telecom business has become more customer-centric than ever before. The customer experience is the strongest focus as it becomes the most efficient weapon in the constant fight for customers. Despite the challenges of falling revenues from voice services, the operators get additional business opportunities from providing new, personalized services to their end customers. Customers also appreciate the smooth operation of the services they are using, and pricing transparency – customers must know what they are paying for.
