Solution Overview

Problem

Current business intelligence solutions lack industry-specific, pre-integrated analytics and data services, leading to increased costs and time for organizations to build functionalities for areas like subscriber network experience, product portfolio performance, and churn-out analytics, while also failing to provide real-time access and uniform views of key performance indicators across the enterprise.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for integrating a data warehouse with operational databases in real-time, using an extracting module, staging database, networking module, and analytical modules to provide prebuilt analytics and support intelligent operations, enabling flexible deployment across different technologies and allowing real-time data sharing and comparative analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If organizations build custom analytics functionalities for each business area, then they can get industry-specific analytical capabilities, but it increases costs and implementation time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindustry-specific analytical capabilitiesVSAvoidimplementation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-building industry-specific analytics functionalities and KPI frameworks before deployment. The system comes with pre-configured analytical models, data models, and business logic that are ready to use, eliminating the need for organizations to build these from scratch. This allows rapid deployment while maintaining industry-specific analytical capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality through a standardized platform that can serve multiple industries and business areas. The system uses a common architectural framework that can be adapted to different industries (telecom, retail, finance, etc.) through configurable parameters and industry-specific modules, reducing implementation time while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If organizations build custom analytics functionalities, then they can get tailored analytical solutions, but it increases implementation costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetailored analytical solutionsVSAvoidimplementation costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces costs by implementing a universal platform that serves multiple industries through a common core architecture. Organizations pay for the standardized platform once and can activate different industry modules as needed, rather than building separate custom systems for each business area. This achieves tailored solutions at a fraction of the cost of fully custom development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

By pre-building and pre-testing analytical models and frameworks, the system eliminates costly trial-and-error development phases. Organizations deploy proven, industry-tested analytics rather than investing in expensive custom development and validation, significantly reducing implementation costs while maintaining tailored analytical capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If data is aggregated from multiple operational systems, then organizations can get a uniform view of KPIs, but it increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniform view of KPIsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a standardized data integration layer that acts as an intermediary between multiple operational systems and the analytics engine. This layer provides uniform data models, standardizes KPI calculations, and handles data transformation automatically, reducing the perceived complexity for end users while maintaining comprehensive data aggregation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments data aggregation into modular, industry-specific data models and KPI frameworks. Each industry (telecom, retail, finance) has its own standardized data structure and calculation rules, which can be independently configured and maintained. This modular approach reduces overall system complexity by breaking down the aggregation task into manageable, reusable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Speed

If real-time data access is provided to operational systems, then organizations can make faster decisions, but it increases integration complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time data accessVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a standardized integration interface layer that mediates between operational systems and the analytics platform. This interface handles real-time data exchange using standard protocols and data formats, enabling fast data access without requiring complex point-to-point integrations. The intermediary layer abstracts the complexity from operational systems while maintaining real-time connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
