Finding the needle in the haystack: transform reactive analytics to proactive monitoring

Level: General

Ericsson has a number of network analytics product, among which Ericsson Expert Analytics, due to its depth of processing is a strong contender in generating data volume; which makes it a “powerful” tool as it helps You to develop a good understanding of virtually anything in the network that You would like to analyze.However, making a powerful tool also useful needs it to be able to highlight those issues that You were not even aware of. Anomaly detection capabilities will become fundamental building blocks of telecommunication network monitoring and analytics software: automation is built on the “discover, understand, resolve” exercise, while “discovery” is anomaly detection itself.The journey from reactive analytics to proactive monitoring was really a transformation and a mindset change; with many lessons learned on how to introduce AI/ML into such a large and highly respected company’s products. Lessons on how data science (how to detect what really matters); lessons on adding new capabilities to the software and architecture; make the customers understand what they get and how is it more intelligent than it was.
