While checking in recently with one of Anodot’s newest clients, I got the sort of feedback that every product owner loves hearing. I asked, “During this past month, have you been able to check alerts triggered for your region? Do you use them? Do you have any feedback?” They replied, “The alerts are spot on.

The telecom industry has always seemed to navigate well through tech changes. As the industry has evolved, it’s managed to transform from landline to mobile carriers, then from voice calls to messaging and data-centric networks. In many developed markets telcos are creating ecosystems for the data-driven economy. The next frontier is shaping up to be one driven by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).

In any platform of sufficient complexity, multiple anomalies are likely to occur. For many organizations, NOC operators triage multiple anomalies based on their severity. There are internal, non-customer-facing issues that might affect only a small part of your workforce and one-time issues that affect only a small number of customers. Both of the issues get ticketed and sent to low-level support.
