Telkomsel provides GSM cellular services in Indonesia to more than 20 million customers, representing a market share of 55 percent. Over the last five years, the company's operations have grown substantially as it launched new services and built out its network infrastructure which now covers more than 90 percent of Indonesia populated areas, including all of the countries' provinces, cities and regencies. To accommodate the expansion of both its network and customer base while increasing operational efficiencies, Telkomsel identified the need to improve network-visibility and service-analysis capabilities. "Our main concern is the quality of service we offer our customers and in order to ensure that we deliver the highest-quality service levels we must continue to enhance our systems and solutions. Based on InfoVista's capability and experience we invited them to partner with us to improve our operations," said Ibrahim Yeo, Vice President Core, Transmission and Telehousing Network Design and Implementation of Telkomsel. At its IP network core, Telkomsel deployed VistaFoundation, InfoVista's adaptive technology platform and the VistaInsight suite of service-centric performance management solutions. Together, the InfoVista products assure the optimal delivery of business-critical IT services by facilitating customer reporting, network capacity planning and reporting on Telkomsel's network operations. With InfoVista, the company has improved visibility into delivery of its IP services through the solution's tightly integrated suite of products, preconfigured analytics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), prepackaged reports and embedded best-practice workflows. Further distinguishing InfoVista's suite of performance management solutions from others that Telkomsel evaluated was the functionality available at the portal level, enabling dynamic and secure access to service performance information. InfoVista's VistaPortal allows Telkomsel to simultaneously view KPIs, real-time performance notifications and critical business information, providing centralized management of real-time and historical network reports. Furthermore these reports are easily and completely customizable for each customer. Offering rich, interactive content, VistaPortal enhances the user experience and integrates seamlessly with existing applications and Telkomsel's Web Portals.
