The deployment of fiber in the telecom sector in the Netherlands has the potential to improve significantly. In this blog, Daniël Veenboer, our Chief Commercial Officer, lists the five possible improvements that could contribute to a more efficient and effective deployment of fiber.
- Improving customer communication
One of the most important aspects of a successful fiber deployment is improved communication with customers. This includes providing clear and timely information about the availability of fiber, its benefits and what it takes to switch. By means of automated updates, personalized communication channels and clear FAQs, telecom companies can improve customer satisfaction and increase trust in the connection process.
- Reduction in customer visits
Minimizing the number of customer visits is an important goal in the fiber deployment. This can be achieved by using advanced technologies such as remote surveys, which remotely assess the feasibility of fiber optic connections. In addition, by distributing the various activities in the deployment process more efficiently, telecom companies can reduce the number of physical visits to a minimum, saving time and costs for both the customer and the provider.
- Acceleration of procedures from order to activation
A faster turnaround time from order to activation is crucial to meet the growing demand for fiber optic connections. This requires a streamlined process, where orders are processed quickly, appointments are efficiently scheduled and installations executed quickly. By using automated systems and optimized workflows, telecom companies can reduce lead time and increase customer satisfaction.
- Increase in the “First Time Right” percentage
A higher percentage of “First Time Right”, where installations and activations are performed correctly at once, is an important goal for telecom providers. This can be achieved through thorough preparation and better ways to test and monitor fiber connections. By improving the quality and accuracy of the process, telecom companies can reduce repeat visits and customer dissatisfaction.
- More data-driven approach
A more data-driven approach can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of fiber deployment. This includes using data analysis and predictive models to identify bottlenecks, optimize resources, and improve decision making. By continuously learning and optimizing based on collected data, telecom companies can improve operational performance and accelerate the deployment of fiber optic networks.
