TURNING UTILITY AND TELCO RATE PAYERS INTO LOYAL CUSTOMERS
In industries worldwide, a trend toward deregulation is causing quite a stir among companies that were once relatively untouched by such challenges. And nowhere are these challenges more apparent than in the utilities and telecommunications (telcos) industries, which provide electricity, gas, water, telephone or related services. Under deregulation, the market, not the government, drives pricing structures. This means that as utilities and telcos undergo privatisation, they must make a profit to grow and survive. With the DB2 product family as the foundation, IBM offers a data warehousing platform that enables utilities and telcos to bring together data from multiple sources -- DB2, enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, CRM applications, location-based data, click-stream data, e-commerce data and more - and transform the data into a common enterprise-wide data model that can be used as the basis for analysis and visualisation in near real-time. Using IBM data management solutions can help you uncover insights for better customer relationship management.

ADD MORE VALUE TO CRM WITH GEOSPATIAL DATA
Spatial data warehousing solutions from IBM improve your analytical capabilities. In a business landscape altered by deregulation, utilities and telcos have been forced to view consumers as much more than rate payers - they are customers who can choose where they take their business. As a result, utilities and telcos are turning to business intelligence software to understand their customers better business. IBM, with its DB2® family of products and alliances with geographic information systems (GIS) and business process engineering vendors, provides an end-to-end solution that can help utilities and telcos implement spatial data warehouses supporting their business intelligence objectives.
