One governed foundation under every revenue, fraud, care and network decision

Operators are not short of data — they are short of data they can trust and act on. The DaasLabs Telecom platform connects BSS, OSS, CDR/xDR and network data once, governs it once, and serves it to every use case and every AI agent.

Why it matters

Churn, fraud, 5G monetisation and cost-to-serve all depend on one question: do billing, network and customer data agree? This is the layer that makes the value chain investable — and AI safe to scale.

Nine operator problems, one foundation underneath

Read each card top to bottom: the problem an operator executive owns, the platform capability that removes it, and the DaasLabs services that put it to work. Most open a working accelerator on demo data.

Revenue leaks between the network and the bill

Usage is checked against billing by sampling, weeks after the bill run.

Connect, curate, contextualize, consume

The same four steps sit under every capability above, every accelerator and every engagement. Week ranges are indicative for a first domain. See how a services engagement runs on it.

Step 1 · Weeks 1–2

Connect

Bring every source in once

Pre-built connectors for billing, charging, CRM, mediation, OSS and partner files — batch, streaming and change-data capture.

  • CDR/xDR, IPDR and probe feeds
  • Legacy adapters (incl. COBOL copybooks)
  • AI-assisted schema mapping
  • API-first architecture
Step 2 · Weeks 2–4

Curate

Make it trustworthy

Quality rules, CDR deduplication, identity resolution across MSISDN, IMSI, SIM and account — one golden subscriber record.

  • Zero-code transformations
  • CDR deduplication
  • Master data management
  • GenAI-assisted enrichment
Step 3 · Weeks 3–5

Contextualize

Give it one meaning

Telecom data models, catalogue, lineage and privacy policy, so “subscriber”, “revenue” and “site” mean the same everywhere.

  • Auto data catalogue
  • Multi-hop lineage
  • RBAC and data masking
  • Audit and compliance trails
Step 4 · Weeks 4–6

Consume

Put it to work

Governed data products for dashboards, APIs, models and supervised AI agents — including natural-language questions for business users.

  • GenAI NLQ studio
  • ML model deployment
  • BI connectors (Power BI, Tableau)
  • Data product factory
AI embedded, not added on

Agents for anomaly detection, churn, fraud scoring and network optimisation run on the governed fabric — with people supervising every action that changes a customer, a bill or a network element. Meet the digital workforce.

Six integrated layers, from ingestion to consumption

AI-native, zero-code and cloud-agnostic — deployed on Azure, AWS or GCP with infrastructure as code. These six product layers implement the twelve-layer target architecture — the strip under each shows which of the twelve it covers.

Ingestion & integration

Connectors for BSS, OSS, CDR, ERP, cloud and legacy systems; batch and streaming; AI-assisted schema mapping.

02 Data Fabric
02

Governance & semantics

RBAC, automated quality checks, sensitivity tagging, raw-to-report lineage and semantic models for business KPIs.

03 Active Metadata Fabric, 04 Enterprise Ontology, 09 Governance & Security
03

What changes for the operator

A unified data platform for a “telco of the future” programme

Group IT, the group’s systems-integration arm and Group Network set out to build a unified, cloud-native, AI-ready digital telco platform. The data platform was one of its first initiatives. Client name withheld.

Initiative milestones
1Collaboration across the group (Group IT, its SI arm and Group Network) to build a digital telco platform
2Key areas of focus: cloud, GenAI, data, open APIs and telco core transformation
3Group data platform modernisation — the unified data platform was one of the first initiatives
4First phase delivered: a cloud unified data platform on Azure with the Data Fabric
5Co-created reusable assets — the Data Fabric deployed as infrastructure as code (Terraform)
Scope at a glance
Group-wide platform team
3 business units
8 data capabilities
Infrastructure as code
  • Core platform: ODS, EDW and data lake
  • Data management & governance, BI / reporting
  • AI & ML, marketing automation, event streaming
Key architectural principles
  • Loosen the architecture
    Decouple billing and customer-care (BCC) data from BCC systems
  • Speed & scale for digital channels
    App and portal get the performance they need without loading the BSS
  • Reusable modular services
    Back end separated from front end
  • Externalised data control
    Security and privacy enforced in the data layer, not per application
Vision

“A unified data platform: a cohesive ecosystem that integrates, secures and empowers data, achieved through an AI-native data fabric with a unified data model supporting all workloads, from ETL to BI/reporting and AI/ML.”

The platform problems it retires

Complicated platform

Data and tooling duplicated across hybrid data-warehouse platforms.

Silos & latency

Batch-based integration across many systems leaves data late and unavailable.

No DR & HA

No disaster recovery or high availability — high business impact if data is lost.

Rising cost of ownership

Duplicated ETL/BI tools, databases, appliances, licences and run teams.

Skills & complexity

Many technologies needing scarce, expensive skills in non-standard environments.

Quality & scalability

Quality issues across systems and limited headroom for growing CDR volumes.
