MedUX is a machine learning and artificial intelligence solution for the measurement, prediction, and analysis of landline, mobile, and television services. MedUX measures the customer experience in markets that collectively serve over 600 million users worldwide.
“The persistent focus in tracking end user experience is key to the improvement of Net Promoter Score in the telecom industry,” said Carlos Alberto Silva, Executive Board Member at Sonae IM in a statement to the press.
The technology developed by CASE on IT obtains reliable data on operator networks and quality of service in real time, without the need to track the final user. This data becomes essential information for the measurement of the user’s objective digital experience.
