Support to a Global IT Transformation Programme

Our client is one of the worlds largest telecommunications providers with a significant EMEA business. They were faced with a significant problem in that they had a set of legacy systems that were costly, complex and reduced the company’s ability to react rapidly to strategic opportunities.

Over time, our client’s application stack had become difficult to use and maintain, with a set of related business processes that were out-dated and restricted by the systems used. To address these concerns, our client looked to invest in new systems to help improve the efficiency of their processes and effectively improve customer experience.
