OVERLAND PARK, Kan., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartesian(TM), a specialist provider of consulting services and managed solutions to the global communications, technology and digital media industries (TMT), has announced enhancements to its Managed Analytics solution offering. Cartesian has developed a dynamic churn propensity model as part of its Customer Value Management (CVM) module, designed to help service providers identify targetable segments of at-risk customers.

"All our Managed Analytics solutions are designed to deliver quantifiable ROI," says Philipp Muelbert, Managed Analytics Global Practice Lead at Cartesian. "When we work with customers of our CVM module, the churn propensity model serves as an invaluable tool in helping us to ensure specific subscribers are targeted with campaigns designed to their specific situation, and offers which are commensurate with their lifetime value, ensuring an optimal cost/benefit balance."

Working with operators in Europe and North America, Cartesian has developed a best-in-class churn propensity framework. Cartesian's experience allows rapid identification of the key churn drivers and the model can incorporate more than 200 variables, allowing for the identification of churn drivers unique to specific sub-segments, thus enabling very targeted and effective marketing programs. The churn propensity model takes inputs from the subscriber data analytics record within Cartesian's CVM module, providing a direct link between a subscriber's churn propensity and their lifetime value. Seamless integration with other elements of the CVM module provides customers with a comprehensive solution to design, test, implement, measure and refine campaigns.
