For the operator community a period of change and transformation is underway.
As lines between the worlds of telecoms and the internet continue to blur, operators find themselves increasingly challenged by non-traditional players employing disruptive technologies such as VoIP and revolutionary customer engagement models such as applications stores. Operators need to understand and engage with these developments are having to expand into new business areas to supplement their portfolios and boost the declining ARPUs and revenue coming from their traditional client base.
Increased competition and penetration levels in both heavily prepaid and postpaid markets have meant operators have increased focus on reducing churn and maximising revenues. This has led to a concentration on user experience, innovative pricing, lifecycle management and the creation of integrated value chains to increase customer loyalty and increase retention.
Changes in the evolution of mobile technology from 2G to 3G to LTE and fixed line technology from PSTN / dial-up to all- IP high speed fibre optic broadband have meant a changing landscape for operators in terms of organisational development and necessary commercial and technical skills. Services are increasingly shifting from the traditional cash-cows of voice and SMS services through to high-speed data, content, and mobile applications. All of which require new ways of working and new skills to deploy, integrate and launch successfully.
