Gateway), SOC (Online charging system), ASS, Others such as VASS system, MASC. (mobile switching center), SMS… 2. 3. The GAP between requirements and reality: Although, Bal plays an important role in making business plan, promotion programs, it still has some limits, the 2 biggest one are as follows: It is still unable to forecast customer behavior in the future (forecasting what is likely to happen in the future) It still cannot interactive with customers or connect to other proactive systems to make a near real time interaction with customers.
Performable: When the system realize that one customer has the behavior of calling much on 8 AM, it cannot automatically send SMS to offer a promotion of SMS on 8 AM. 2. 4. Proposals Doing data mining in order to find the criteria by customer groups to forecast customer behavior in the future; Building a customer interactive function:when customers have a behavior in the forecasted program, the system should know and automatically offer a promotion program to those customers.
