Yair M. Sakov, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at FTS will present a session called “Empowering your customers to self-manage and provision services in real time”. Based on providers’ case studies, the session will outline why it is important to create real-time control of every facet of the customer’s service-related interaction. Attendees will be able to see the ROI potential in business control and how deploying such a solution results in increased revenues, reduced OPEX, and increased retention.

Business Control Layer is a software layer in a service provider’s infrastructure which resides between the network/OSS and BSS allowing providers to dynamically and in real-time adapt network or service behavior, at the customer level, in order to increase revenues and improve customer experience.

FTS was chosen as a finalist by a panel of industry experts who reviewed dozens of companies in the sector before choosing FTS.
