The telecom industry is at a pivotal crossroads. Driven by explosive digital transformation, unprecedented customer expectations, and intensifying competition, telecom operators, particularly Tier-2 and Tier-3 businesses in emerging markets, can no longer afford the inefficiencies and limitations of outdated customer relationship management (CRM) systems. The need for a dynamic, agile, and scalable CRM solution is not just advisable but mission-critical.
The global mobile data traffic is expected to surge by nearly 400%, according to Ericsson’s Mobility Report. This tremendous increase in demand places significant strain on telecom operators, particularly those operating in rapidly growing markets in Africa, the Middle East, and the APAC regions. To capitalize on these opportunities and avoid being left behind, operators must transition to future-ready telecom CRM solutions like AviateCX.
Legacy Systems: A Hidden Cost
Did you know that more than 60% of telecom operators worldwide continue to grapple with legacy telco CRM systems that hinder agility, efficiency, and customer satisfaction? These outdated telecom CRM systems significantly contribute to customer churn, which can cost operators up to five times more to acquire new customers than to retain existing ones. For instance, a Tier-2 operator losing 10% of its one million subscribers annually, assuming an ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) of $5, it faces a staggering $6 million annual loss.
Moreover, legacy telco CRM systems lead to substantial operational inefficiencies, consuming resources and slowing innovation. According to a study by TechJockey, operators using legacy telecom CRM solutions spend an additional 25% of their operational time on manual, redundant tasks, drastically reducing their competitiveness.
