The wireless technology, the Internet, the convergence of data, voice and media and industry consolidations driven by mergers and acquisitions has led to a major metamorphosis in the telecom industry in the last fifteen years. This resulted in a number of challenges for the telecommunication industry like declining revenue, customer churn and growth in regulatory requirements.

Due to millions of subscribers and massive operations, data volumes are in multi-terabytes, and growing exponentially every year. In the wake of growing data volumes and regulatory concerns, a data management solution can help telecom companies in maintaining their competitive edge.

Most enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, etc. Hence 6-8 full size clones are prepared, thereby potentially exposing sensitive application data. To ensure sensitive data remains protected against the largest source of vulnerability, the internal threat; data management suites allow telecom operators to identify data that meets specific security and retention requirements and automate how the data is protected and managed throughout its entire lifecycle.
