PM Use Case: Create end-user feedback • Cross referencingcustomercomplaintswith tickets and drive test data. When a problem is fixed – the customer is notifiedby SMS and given a way to provide further feedback (eg ticket #) • For selected (Gold) customers, track theirdroppedcalls, thensend email with link to a geographical map (googlemaps?), askthem to pinpointwherethey had dropped the call.

Conclusions • Performance management is an important tool that when applied properly, maintains a high level of Quality of Service • Operators face challenges when positioning Performance Management • Performance Management is also a tool for efficient vendor management • Performance Management can be an outsourced service itself • Performance Management will move from network centric to customer centic, from reactive to proactive
