Service providers can better segment, engage, and delight subscribers working from home and enable them to prioritize home network usage based on their unique needs
SAN JOSE, CA – November 10, 2020 – Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced a host of enhancements to the Revenue EDGE solution that enable communications service provider (CSP) marketers to better identify subscribers working and learning remotely and deliver best-in-class service. As the work from anywhere (WFA) trend continues to grow, workers find themselves competing with family members for essential bandwidth. To ensure that CSPs keep pace with the shifting bandwidth usage patterns, this quarterly product release includes segmentation upgrades to Calix Marketing Cloud (CMC), new prioritization capabilities within the ExperienceIQ™ EDGE Suite, and a variety of new marketing assets and tools within EDGE Enablement, including a new Market Activation Video Editor (MAVE), to speed time to market.
“We have seen significant changes in network usage patterns among our subscribers this year with the transition to virtual learning and working from home, so making sure they are up-to-date with our latest service offerings is critical,” said John Van Ooyen, CEO for Wisconsin-based Mount Horeb Telephone Company. “The 23 how-to and getting started videos for our MHTC SmartGuard app are essential for spreading the word. We had planned on 45 days and a significant investment to create new videos for our managed Wi-Fi offering, but Calix provided them as part of the EDGE Enablement program. Calix is saving us additional time and money which provided MHTC the opportunity to continue to focus on the customer experience. MHTC subscribers will be delighted to have professional and informative support videos with our brand on it! We appreciate our continued and growing partnership with Calix moving forward.
Calix has enhanced three key areas of the Revenue EDGE.
“As 2021 approaches, there has been no letup in the WFA trend that has skyrocketed over the last nine months, and Calix continues to innovate to help service providers meet subscriber needs with agility,” said Matt Collins, chief marketing officer for Calix. “We are providing our customers with everything they need to respond to the unprecedented expansion of bandwidth demands. Service providers are leveraging our best-in-class solutions and turnkey tools and materials to tailor and market differentiated services. Our customers have amazed us with their ability to pivot quickly to meet the needs of their subscribers working from anywhere and deliver the ultimate subscriber experience.”
