HDS Unified Compute Platform 6000 for Predictive Analytics Solution

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation announced the Unified Compute Platform (UCP) 6000 for Predictive Analytics solution, with integrated next-generation advanced analytics software that predicts customer attrition, commonly referred to as ‘churn.’

The solution gives telecom and media service providers insight into customer behavior with predictive scoring for real-time decision making. It uses the open and scalable UCP architecture, which is designed to support high-performance, mission critical workloads and scale without disruption. With the ability to proactively address customer attrition, service providers can gain competitive advantage and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty by identifying churn-prone subscribers and creating targeted retention offers before customers defect.

Equally important is a proactive approach to customer retention, satisfaction and loyalty, which can all grow revenue and increase profit,” said Sean Moser, SVP, global portfolio and product management, HDS. “The new Hitachi UCP 6000 for Predictive Analytics solution enables deeper insight into customer behavior and provides data that improves the customer experience.“
