2degrees put 11Ants Analytics solutions to work quickly with very satisfying results. The initial project was to focus on an all-too common problem in the mobile telecommunications industry - customer churn (customers leaving). For this they deployed 11Ants Customer Churn Analyzer.
2degrees were interested in identifying customers most at risk of churning by analyzing data - such as time on network, days since last top-up, activation channel, whether the customer ported their number or not, customer plan, and outbound calling behaviours over the preceding 90 days.
A carefully controlled experiment was run over a period of three months, and the results tabulated and analyzed. The results were excellent - the customers identified as churners by 11Ants Customer Churn Analyzer were a game-changing 1275% more likely to be churners than customers chosen at random. This can also be expressed as an increase in lift of 12.75 at 5% (the 5% of the total population identified as most likely to churn by the model). At 10% lift was 7.28.
