By cleverly utilizing big data 'nexuses' (points in the ICT value chain where a multitude of data can be efficiently gathered), Dialogic states that it is possible to produce global statistics on ICT and telecom. Examples of such nexuses include mobile operating systems (which collect diagnostic information on application and language usage and the availability of mobile networks), content delivery networks (which, due to their position on the internet, can measure the quality of internet connections), telecom equipment, and social networks.
Commissioned by ITU (International Telecommunications Union, a part of the United Nations), Dialogic developed a strategy for producing new indicators and supporting existing statistics based on big data. The main opportunities were presented by Reg Brennenraedts, partner and senior advisor at Dialogic, at the Worldwide Telecommunications Indicator Symposium, organized by the ITU from 24-26 November 2014 in Tbilisi (Georgia). In particular, he highlighted the exponential nature of growth that characterizes big data and the need for organisations to build the knowledge and capabilities to keep pace with this exponential growth.
