i3forum, a non-profit industry body focused on transformation in carrier business launched i3forum Insights, a comprehensive and operationally relevant database for international voice services.
i3forum is designed and managed by i3forum members and available to both members and non-members of i3forum. It enables carriers to upload their voice traffic data into a database, which is then anonymised and aggregated. Each participating carrier is able to compare its own data against the data provided by other participating carriers using a state-of-the-art analytics engine, Tableau. The anonymised, aggregated data will directly support business and marketing planning, organisational alignment, routing optimisation, pricing and procurement.
TeleGeography, a data-driven telecommunications market research company was selected to build and operate the service due to their expertise in compiling and managing large data sets specific to the carrier industry.
Philippe Millet, Chairman of i3forum
With the support of TeleGeography, we want to maximise the potential of the data in our businesses to support the industry with data-driven insights and intelligence. We truly believe that when global carriers work together, we can all benefit from the wealth of data in our industry.
