i3forum Insights is a database for international voice services that is designed and managed by i3forum members and available to both members and non-members. It enables carriers to upload their voice traffic data into a database, which is then anonymised and aggregated.
“We are really proud to announce the launch of i3forum Insights. We have gone beyond producing recommendations to deliver a service designed for carriers, by carriers,” said Philippe Millet, chairman of i3forum. “With the support of TeleGeography, we want to maximise the potential of the data in our businesses to support the industry with data-driven insights and intelligence. We truly believe that when global carriers work together, we can all benefit from the wealth of data in our industry.”
Each participating carrier is able to compare its own data against the data provided by other participating carriers using a state-of-the-art analytics engine, Tableau. The anonymised, aggregated data will directly support business and marketing planning, organisational alignment, routing optimisation, pricing and procurement.
Participating carriers will work closely with TeleGeography prior to and during the on boarding phase to ensure a seamless operation of the solution itself.
“This is a great opportunity for carriers to collaborate and compare data in a secure, anonymous environment,” said said Mike Bisaha, senior analyst and data science manager, TeleGeography. “We’re thrilled to support i3forum on this venture. We look forward to working with participants and simplifying how carriers share information.”
Joining “Day 1” ensures that carriers can use the service from the beginning of 2020 and participate in solution design and acceptance with the vendor.
