For this process to be completed successfully, personalization is key. This is achieved by understanding the situation and context of each consumer to enhance those interactions.
What are the big challenges for telecom operators?
- More simplicity inside the business, with more accessible and streamlined processes.
- More simplicity in customer relations, solving any issue at the customer’s preferred channel and touchpoint.
- More simplicity for increasing revenue, offering added value services as a natural wrapper for existing services.
- More sophisticated experiences, making the most of data and artificial intelligence to offering completely personalized services and content to each customer.
What is the role of VASS in all this digital transformation that Telco’s are experiencing?
Our great differentiator is the way we help Telco Operators transform the customer journeys they provide to their customers. At VASS we work with over 30 companies in the Telco industry at a global level to respond to consumer’s needs at every stage of the customer journey.
We do so through the latest technologies and business solutions that help and optimise the different areas of the operators’ processes. These range from customer acquisition, marketing and sales processes to post-sales and customer service processes, ensuring that all information systems can change quickly and dynamically and evolve constantly.
Magnetic and Infinite, the Key to Success for New Business Models
Beyond voice and data, operators seek other models: firstly, to generate more revenue, and secondly, to offer more services to customers and build customer loyalty.
To do so, they must look for magnetic and infinite business models, i.e. attractive and appealing on the one hand and scalable and capable of unlimited customer growth on the other.
In this respect, at VASS, we help operators to enter new businesses such as the World of Things or the banking business, for example, or to maximise their business as retailers, creating sales platforms so that they can offer new products to their customers.

How does VASS help operators deliver these experiences to their customers?
In order for operators to add value to their customers, it is essential for them to know who each customer as well as to segment and customise their customer journey. In this context, we refer to hyper-personalisation techniques and how to ensure that they do not impact operating costs that affect the business model.
To mention a real case, at VASS, we have carried out a successful project with one of the leading Spanish operators where thanks to the personalisation and segmentation carried out, we have managed to improve conversion rates between 500 and 800 per cent in the contracting processes on the part of customers. n other words, exponential improvements are achieved when the customer is treated, knowing who they are and making them see the reason why they are being offered a specific product or service and not another.
