Oracle Communications Data Model - Analytic Applications Oracle Communications Social Network Analytics Social Network Analytics uses call detail records (CDRs) to identify the communities that exist based on the social interactions between users (for example. calls, texts, mms). Oracle Advanced Analytics (Data Mining) is used to determine some of the following:
  • Social relationship communities

  • Subscriber roles

  • Influence scores

  • Churn pressure

  • Community and subscriber value

  • Value at risk

Results are stored in output tables, and displayed using Oracle Business Intelligence reports and dashboards. Customers can leverage this valuable information and use it for viral marketing campaigns as well as customer retention initiatives.

Prerequisites: Social Network Analytics requires the use of other Oracle software, which must be licensed separately. Please contact your Oracle sales representative for additional information.

Oracle Communications Data Model - Analytic Applications Oracle Communications Policy and Charging Analytics Policy and Charging Analytics leverages policy event records (PER) and policy reference data (PRD), and optionally charging data that has been loaded into the appropriate Oracle Communications Data Model tables. It performs aggregation and calculation of various metrics using this data. Results are displayed in Oracle Business Intelligence reports and dashboards. The dashboards fall under the following categories:
  • Policy Execution

  • Quota Usage

  • Customer Metrics

The information can be leveraged by operations teams in order to improve policy operations, as well as by marketing to aid in developing new offers.
