Challenge	Avea, Turkey’s youngest and fastest-growing mobile operator, was facing a significant challenge in managing its rapidly growing subscriber base and the associated data volumes. The company was finding it increasingly difficult to deliver prompt service and meet service-level agreements due to the growing volumes of subscriber data. The existing content management systems were struggling to keep up with the increased volumes of data, causing long delays in accessing information. This delay was affecting the company's ability to respond to customers promptly, risking customer satisfaction, potential loss of business to competitors, and non-compliance with government regulations. The company needed to process all mobile number portability requests within 48 hours and send out invoices at least seven days before the payment due date, which was becoming a challenge with the existing systems.

Avea is known for its commitment to delivering a responsive, personalized service that meets and exceeds customer expectations. However, with the telecommunications industry becoming more crowded and commoditized, Avea faces a tough challenge in ensuring that each and every customer receives stellar service. Read More
Solution	To overcome the challenge, Avea collaborated with IBM Business Partner Aksis to develop a new content management platform. The platform was built on IBM® FileNet® Content Manager, which allowed Avea to unite information from across the business into a single electronic repository. The company now stores more than 800 million documents in this repository, including more than 16 million subscriber contracts. This solution enabled Avea's agents to access information online in just seconds, significantly boosting efficiency. Additionally, Avea introduced e-invoicing for its postpaid customers, which not only expedited the billing process but also resulted in substantial cost savings. The electronic files were automatically submitted to back-office teams, who could validate the documents and finalize the request well within the 48-hour deadline. Read More Log in to view content
