Global Platform Solution in the Communications Industry

summary

Disparate systems and process driving operational complexity

A global leader in delivering innovative communications and technology solutions had a mission “to give humans the ability to do more in this world.” However, disparate systems and processes grew increasingly complex with each merger and acquisition. An end-to-end integrated global platform solution was required to drive ongoing operational excellence.

The Challenge

Bottlenecks in order management driving billing delays

Non-enriched, non-integrated, latent data were creating bottlenecks in the order management and billing process, resulting in an average 4-month quotes-to-billing lifecycle. In addition, complex business processes drove complex IT systems and vice versa.
