What Operators & Service Providers Need to Achieve

In order for operators to meet customer service expectations whilst at the same time maintaining a sustainable business, they need to achieve the following:

  • Economies of Scale
  • Provide Market-Leading Quality of Experience
  • Optimise the Costs of Providing the Services
  • Ensure Robust Reliability of Services

Current Challenges Facing Operators & Service Providers

While this continues to remain highly relevant in today’s operator environment, there have been a number of challenges that have arisen, including:

  • Network Performance and Dimensioning
  • Visibility & Understanding of Subscriber Behaviour, Network Behaviour and Service Behaviour
  • Quality of Service
  • Price Compression
  • Service Commoditisation
  • Reduced Barriers to Entry for New Competitors
  • Security
  • Revenue Leakage
  • Maintaining Service Levels and Quality of Experience when using Third-Party Infrastucture

Operator & Service Provider 5-Step Evolution Cycle

Core2Africa has always believed that the operators/service providers need to continuously evolve in order to meet market expectations. Since the founding of Core2Africa in 2010, Core2Africa has advocated the following five high-level stages in the evolution of the operator/service provider environment:

  1. Network Convergence – through the years, this has largely been achieved in most environments
  2. Network Consolidation – in recent years, this has evolved from consolidating multiple network devices to consolidating the number of locations where network equipment is installed
  3. Simplification – removal of unnecessary equipment across the environment, including standardisation, structuring, naming conventions, and architecture
  4. Automation – following Simplification, it becomes practical and affordable to start automating the repetitive tasks and closing the loops between the business systems (CRM, provisioning, support, billing)
  5. Separation – an abstraction of the services from the physical network infrastructure

Core2Africa’s Solutions

In line with the challenges outlined above, Core2Africa provides solutions with the value proposition to best address them, and which include the following five elements that follow the acronym S-N-A-A-P:
