ABOUT BOLGIATEN

THE WORDS BEHIND THE NAME

Our Name BolgiaTen is taken from Dante’s Inferno but we reside in a ‘Data Inferno’ not Dante’s Inferno. In Dante’s version of the Inferno, Dante and Virgil enter the last and tenth Bolgia of the Eighth Circle, which is the home of The Falsefiers. The Falsefiers are divided into four subgroups:

the Alchemists,
the Impersonators,
the Counterfeiters and
the False Witnesses.

BolgiaTen is based in the realms of Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation and Innovation which are the fundamental enablers of our thoughts, process and Innovation developments. We see BolgiaTen as the ‘end state’ beyond the ‘Data Inferno’ where we can expose truth, trust, transparency, accountability and governance excellence in actionable insight through examination using our four states of the tenth Bolgia; BolgiaTen AI and Data Analytics D3P®:

Descriptive,
Prescriptive,
Persuasive
Predictive

As we move towards and AI driven world into the Metaverse and Web 3.0 both Narrow, and eventually, General AI is going to take us on an unfathomable journey which has both Threats and Opportunities in abundance, we should treat these as equals in evaluation and execution.

Join us in exploring data through this examination lead approach participation and interaction. We hope our blogs will form a useful stimulus to your thinking and you will join us in this exciting journey.

WHAT WE DO!

BoligaTen is an advisory and consulting organization focused on helping Companies and Governments to adopt industry best practices such as TM Forum’ Frameworx, IET, IEEE, CCITT (ITU), BCS and others. Adopting collaboratively developed best practices and achieving the expected results has proven to be challenging, as framework’s are typically only defined to a generic and conceptual level; that is, documentation, guides and training are nonspecific and so not business focused for your particular orginisation.

Bolgiaten have developed a unique approach to implementation of Value based outcomes through AI and Big Data Analytics. When applied to satisfy Social Media, Mobility, AI & Big Data and Cloud, support material becomes more limited. BolgiaTen helps organisation drive beyond the generic to the specific, whilst observing Global Best Practice through an ambidextrous engagement model.

SOCIAL - MOBILITY - ANALYTICS - CLOUD (SMAC)

SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES

Social media allows Businesses and people to connect and interact in all possible ways and combinations. Businesses interacting with Customers utilizing social media technologies enables the collection of data on preferences that gives numerous potentials forming new relationships. Every interaction generates data that might be interesting for the business to capture for use in Customer Experience Management, Revenue Management, Product Life-Cycle Management and more.. The interaction benefits the Customers by enabling them them to have access to other customers’ experience and comments in the social network.

MOBILITY

Mobility is bringing employees, customer and users closer to businesses. Access to application and data from any device and connection type is also giving businesses the opportunity to interact with their customers, employees in much more engaging ways. Mobility is made possible by the combination of broadband (wired and wireless) and solid state technologies for any device, and as businesses take advantage of the technologies to offer “ecosystem based business services” the value to Customers and businesses excels.

ANALYTICS

New approaches to ETL and enrichment of data collected from social media, communications networks, on-line shopping all forming Big Data. New technologies like Hadoop, and visualization are allowing correlations, and expose information beyond the capabilities of conventional Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse environments. This gives an opportunity to explore level of analytics not previously possible and which in turn create business value and innovation through improved cognitive information and decision making.

CLOUD

Cloud computing provides business value, Customer value and operational value as an enabler of efficient, self managed application environment. Cloud computing based platforms and software services have the potential to remove complexity, risk, and technical barriers to to operational support applications. Importantly, it enables incremental iterative development of “Apps”, which makes it also attractive for adjunct BSS and OSS projects.

SMAC A DISRUPTIVE FORCE

SMAC give service providers of communication, media, entertainment etc. a unique opportunity to define an “Ecosystem” across the SMAC in which they can offer a combination of products and services that provide Customers and users with a synergy value greater that the sum of its components.

Operationally SMAC gives untapped possibilities to:

Develop leaner Operational environment

Intelligence for Customer Experience analysis

Proactive Products lifecycle management

Capital management

Margin control

Resource demand and development
