The Orange Romania Billing Development and Operations Team were trained, took the lead on the initial deployment and are now fully self-sufficient in their MATRIXX operations.
The Fast Mode spoke to Jennifer Kyriakakis, Founder and CMO at MATRIXX Software on their recent collaboration with Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong (HTHK). Jennifer discusses some of the monetization challenges and opportunities faced by HTHK, how the deployment of MATRIXX’s digital monetization engine supported the telco’s long-term objectives, the shift towards ‘all-digital’ experiences, and the impact of loyalty programs and rewards on subscriber churn.
Hong Kong is one of the most competitive and dynamic communications markets in the world, with mobile penetration rates in excess of 300% and internet penetration rates at nearly 100%. Explore how HTHK transformed with infrastructure to innovate and provide enhanced customer experiences and achieve growth.
The tyranny of commoditization remains the single biggest threat to the telco commercial model. A new North Star is needed. There must be a shift from an inside-out, network-first portfolio focus to a more agile, streamlined and outside-in, customer-first approach that is founded on the inalienable principle that compelling digital experiences never commoditize.
A new business model needs to emerge in wholesale – one that re-balances away from network-first to customer experience-first.
New frontiers in monetization and an innovative approach has become crucial for companies seeking to transform their operations. However, to achieve this, they must break down the traditional barriers between online charging and billing.
MATRIXX digital monetization is a unique alternative to legacy billing approaches. Transparency, accuracy and trust become the new bywords for telco revenue management.
MATRIXX is the only platform that enables CSPs to overcome the limitations of traditional billing systems, delivering increased agility and a foundation for cost-efficient and seamless digital transformation.
A Connectivity Marketplace is a hub where various stakeholders can purchase, manage and integrate connectivity for a diverse array of devices. It operates in symbiosis with 5G’s speed, low latency and expanded capacity, facilitating a proliferation of opportunities for businesses to capitalize on the Internet of Things (IoT) and other cutting-edge technologies.
Sharing plans and allowances across any enterprise size is an approach to managing thousands of employees and their plans that gives real-time visibility of consumption at a company, department and employee level, and provides controls to manage thresholds and limits by the enterprise themselves.
If CSPs are to capitalize on the overall edge opportunity, they must pivot from the “network-out” model of service delivery that has served them for the last 20+ years to a customer-focused, “value-in” model. New edge services are driven by a new monetization model.
With real world metrics of +77 Net Promoter Score, customer retention rates of 95% and 40% lower cost-to-serve, advanced consumer digital deployments have lead the way in delivering breakthrough customer experiences. The dash for growth, pandemic acceleration of digital adoption and B2B monetization platform scale are driving the same need and opportunity in the SME segment. The opportunity is now. The time is now.
With consumer markets relatively flat, the growth spotlight of telco executives and shareholders is focused on the enterprise market. With B2B business expected to contribute some 50% of telco revenue by 2025, the key question is where will that growth come from?
Small medium enterprises are the key growth engine for telcos. Serving them on their terms requires a new, dynamic monetization model and approach.
