Simplified Troubleshooting
using Automated Reasoning

Be Pro-Active and Improve Customer


Experience

2solve, the award-winning Network Troubleshooting solution from 2operate, facilitates your incident handling process
through automated diagnostic reasoning.

With 2solve you will be able to detect and resolve networ


incidents before customers are affected.
2solve can be set up to raise alarms of cells showing abnormal
performance and present these together with pre-computed
diagnoses. This way, you can effectively and pro-actively
improve network quality using a minimum of technical
staff.

User-friendly interfaces and advanced visualization makes


data available to more staff members than traditional OSS
tools. This enables effective communication about the state
of network elements between Front Line suport and Back
Office specialists. Moreover, it is easy for Front Line support
to assess if a customer incident is due to network issues and
to provide initial feedback directly on the phone.

Enable Everybody to
Understand Technical Data

Improve Productivity of the Entire


Organization

2solve aggregates data into high-level visualizations of service and network performance:

By enabling non-technical staff members to understand


the network better, a service provider organization becomes
overall more efficient in making the right decisions:

Users can select individual network elements directly


in a network map and get realtime and historic performance
of voice, data, and SMS services.
Periodic, emailed reports present network elements with
highest impact on customer experience. This may be used
for pro-active troubleshooting in backoffice
User-friendly dashboards present the performance of
key services per network element and/or key account.
Moreover, 2solve correlates network data (including both
performance data, configuration data, and alarms) into early
diagnoses by using advanced artificial intelligence technology.

Customer Support staff provides better support to


customers and raises trouble tickets with an accurate
description of technical incidents. This also enables them
to direct it to the right specialist unit without help from
expert troubleshooters.
Management may use a number of 2solve functions
to better understand the nature of technical issues
reported by technical staff. A range of data aggregations
functions reveals the true state of the network.
Technical staff is guided by reports on worst service
performance as well as by automatically produced early
diagnoses.

Reference statements

2operate provides a unique tool


which enables our staff members
close to the customer to work
more efficiently on network
incidents. Moreover, our technical
experts are shielded from incident
management and can focus on
their ongoing projects.
Saulius Grudzinskas,
Senior Manager of RAN Operations
at TeliaSonera Group

We evaluated 2solve over a


three month period, and the
solution met expectations on our
measured parameters.
In particular, 2solve makes
service and network data
available to more staff members,
what makes 2solve a common
working tool between divisions.
During the evaluation period,
2operate also proved to be
very effectivein reacting to our
demands and requests.

At Faroese Telecom we have


a strong focus on placing the
customer at the centre of
everything we do, and the way
that 2operate makes network
data more available to staff
members in customer support
is just perfect for us.
Kristian R. Davidsen,
CEO of Faroese Telecom

Gunars Danbergs,
Technical Director of LMT

While the currently available


OSS solutions are shown to be
providing network operators
with data and alerts, 2solve
implements a strong reasoning
engine. The solution reduces
the backend staff work-load by
addressing most of the technical
glitches, which can then be
handled by non-technical staff
in customer support. This means
that 2operate is at a greater
advantage than its competitors
to fetch a more robust ROI in
terms of cost and response
time.
