The telecommunications industry is going through a phase of volatile transformation. While Revenues from core communications services are stagnating, there is an increased demand for services beyond the traditional offerings and an increased need to deliver engaging customer experiences while focusing on lowering operations costs to drive up profitability despite thin margins.

Customers are thus looking for a solution that enables them to stay competitive, retain and grow their customer base by delivering top-notch customer experience and engagement using CRM, personalising telecom service offerings, simplifying operations and by optimizing margins and increasing revenues with new digital and cloud services.
