Telenor Networks Cuts Wholesale Order Time From Ten Days to Three Minutes 2006-12-06 01:00:24 Oracle

In order to take advantage of the forecasted explosive growth in demand for xDSL, PSTN, and ISDN services over the next few years, Telenor Networks needed to completely change the way they engaged their customers.

The company was also challenged with understanding its performance against strict Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) with customers. Telenor Networks had visibility into open service requests, but it was difficult to understand the percentage of orders delivered on time, versus the percentage that was delayed. To rectify this problem and improve its customer-facing processes, Telenor Networks deployed Oracle's Siebel Communications and Siebel Business Analytics.
