The AI Act and communication evolution: VoIP and contact center implications

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:46:23 +0200

National telecom operators face a challenge: the data required to launch AI projects turns out to be fragmented, inconsistent, incomplete, and lacks unified directories. Attempting to train AI models on such data yields poor results, making it impossible to implement intelligent systems to improve customer service efficiency or optimize the network.

Reason: Architectural Chaos and Lack of Data Governance

This problem arises from the historically formed OSS/BSS ecosystem, which for large telecom operators can consist of 15–25 systems of different generations. Each system (CRM, billing, network management systems, customer support systems) was created to solve its own narrow task, often without considering the need for a unified customer profile or shared directories. As a result, the exact same customer might have multiple records with different addresses, contact details, or even names, while data about services and tariffs are stored in disparate billing systems. This leads to a situation where the Customer 360 concept (a unified, comprehensive view of the customer) does not work, and the time-to-market for new tariff plans is limited by the need for manual data reconciliation between legacy systems.
