Bharti Airtel, India’s largest telecommunications services provider, has partnered Cloudera to provide the best customer experience with its new Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics platform, powered by Cloudera Enterprise. The solution builds a 360-degree view of Airtel's customers in India, enabling them to better leverage customer data to execute successful omni-channel campaigns and influence buyers in a highly competitive market.
Airtel is using Cloudera Enterprise to securely bring together user, network, device, business and social data to drive customer intimacy, improve network performance and drive new revenue streams. With Cloudera Enterprise now at the core of Airtel's information architecture, the massive volumes of data are in a centralized location, across formats, and available to all business users and groups, with full fidelity and security, but at a lower capital expenditure per terabyte compared to traditional data management mechanisms, said Cloudera.
Airtel's product offerings in India include wireless and fixed services, mobile commerce, high speed DSL broadband, IPTV, DTH, and national and international long distance services to carriers. With over 265 million customers across its India operations, Airtel faces the immense task of making sense of and leveraging huge volumes of customer and network data they collect on a daily basis, which was previously stored in multiple traditional systems built over a period of time.

Cloudera’s goal is to provide a fast, easy and secure platform, built on Apache Hadoop, that enables our customers to easily build predictive models for smarter decision making. These models can then be leveraged to indicate customer churn, develop insight-driven marketing campaigns, and ultimately lead to a higher wallet share by delivering better products and services for end-customers.
