Turning lease churn into a competitive advantage in the Telco industry
In the fast-paced world of telecommunications, lease churn is a constant challenge. The industry is prone to experience a high turnover of contracts, which complicates data management and adds layers of risk to your operations. For years, keeping up with changes in lease agreements and contracts has been a manual, time-consuming process for many telecom companies.
This traditional, outdated approach often leads to unclean data, human error, and inefficiencies that can impact your bottom line. But what if you could turn this challenge into a competitive advantage?

The challenge: managing lease churn with outdated processes
Every month, telecom providers and Towerco organisations face a minimum of 1% contract churn. This churn includes not just new contracts but also renewals, addendums, and uplifts that must be accurately reflected in your data.
Relying on manual processes to keep lease accounting data up to date is risky. Legal and administrative staff, who often change roles or move to different departments, are tasked with updating and managing this data. Inconsistencies and errors are inevitable, leading to potential risks in revenue collection and vendor payments.
In an industry where precision is critical, these challenges can quickly snowball, affecting your ability to make informed decisions, respond to market changes, and maintain profitability. The traditional approach simply isn’t enough to keep up with the complexity and speed of today’s telco environment.
The solution: embracing a technology-first approach
To stay competitive, telecom providers are shifting to a technology-first approach. By leveraging automation and artificial intelligence (AI), you can significantly reduce the risks associated with manual data management and improve the accuracy of your lease and contract data. Here’s how:
- Automation reduces human error: Automating the process of updating lease and contract data eliminates the inconsistencies and inaccuracies that often arise from manual entry. This ensures that your data is always up to date, accurate, and ready for analysis.
- AI enhances data quality: AI-driven tools can analyse vast amounts of unstructured data, turning it into actionable insights. This not only improves the quality of your data but also helps you identify patterns and trends that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Faster, more informed decisions: With accurate, real-time data at your fingertips, your team can make faster, more informed decisions. Whether it’s responding to contract renewals, adjusting pricing, or negotiating vendor agreements, having reliable data is key to staying ahead of the competition.
- Improved operational efficiency: Automation streamlines your lease management processes, reducing the time and resources needed to manage churn. This allows your team to focus on higher-value tasks, such as strategic planning and customer engagement.
Why flexibility matters
In a rapidly changing industry, flexibility is crucial. Telecom providers that can manage lease churn in a flexible and adaptive manner are better positioned to capitalise on new opportunities and respond to challenges. However, this flexibility depends on having accurate, readily available data. Without it, your ability to pivot quickly and make strategic decisions is severely limited.
The competitive edge
By adopting a technology-first approach and leveraging AI and automation, you can turn the challenge of lease churn into a competitive advantage. Telecom companies that successfully manage churn are not only more efficient but also more agile, capable of making faster decisions and seizing opportunities that others might miss.
Take the next step
The telecom industry is evolving, and so must your approach to lease management. Embrace the power of automation and AI to improve data accuracy, reduce risks, and gain a competitive edge. With the right tools and strategies, you can transform lease churn from a challenge into a powerful advantage for your business.
