GLDS and SubscriberWise provide risk management for cable
operators
Great Lakes Data Systems has announced a partnership with SubscriberWise,
Ltd. to offer broadband service providers a powerful risk management solution.
Operators will have real-time access to data that will help them better
understand subscriber payment behavior and credit risk, all from within
the WinCable subscriber management and billing software.
"Fully integrating our solutions will add significant value and enhance
the cable operations experience for our mutual customers," said David
Howe, president of SubscriberWise. "By combining GLDS‚
expert knowledge of subscriber management systems with the proven power
of SubscriberWise decision analytics and best practices, this alliance
will boost our customers‚ success through automation, increased efficiency,
and cost savings".
GLDS was the first billing provider to partner with SubscriberWise and
is expected to begin beta testing the fully-integrated solution for an
undisclosed customer.
SubscriberWise Risk Management Solutions incorporate TransUnion's®
robust consumer credit data with the highly predictive power of FICO®
scoring and analytics. Statistical data is combined with proprietary
decision factors based on years of cable industry experience. The
total approach results in more relevant data for operators.
The integrated solution allows storage of a calculated risk rating to
each subscriber‚s WinCable billing system account record. Customer
service personnel can then apply pre-defined company policies to credit
limits, deposit amounts, and other important new customer decisions.
Ongoing account activity within WinCable will be used to update subscriber
metrics, reduce collections risks and determine customer eligibility for
special handling and future product offerings.
"GLDS sought out SubscriberWise as part of a larger commitment to
helping WinCable users better understand their customers," said Garrick
Russell, VP Operations at GLDS. "SubscriberWise has a field-proven
solution that, when combined with customer information from WinCable,
will provide operators with an unparalleled understanding of their customers."
