European telecom operators are facing challenges from OTT players, which are over-the-top players, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. The difference between a telecom operator and an OTT player is that a telecom operator only provides network services while an OTT player provides not only network services but also digital services.qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
This difference causes big challenges to the telecom operators as OTT players can better understand their customers, connect with customers deeper, and provide better services.qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信

The four most important factors contributing to the future success of telecom operators in 5 years are networking quality (92%), branding (74%), sales (47%), and customer service (47%).qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
Providing good network service is the most important factor for the development of telecom operators. Most executives think that switching to all-IP (Internet protocol) networks will reduce costs. qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
Meanwhile, sharing and outsourcing are also two possible ways to reduce costs. Operators now are considering sharing network monitoring centers to save the budget. They also consider outsourcing some of the business to other operators.qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
In the aspect of marketing, operators are switching to digital marketing from traditional marketing. With digital marketing, operators can reduce the marketing cost and provide better services to the customers.qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
Ways of selling are what counts much to the success too. To adapt to the nowadays market, operators also need to adopt the latest selling methods. Some operators are using omnichannel sales channels to sell their services. Some of the latest online selling methods are also being adopted, like peer to peer, word of mouths, etc. qWu国际短信_短信群发_短信接口_营销短信平台_天一泓国际短信
