Telecoms giant MTN has chosen Oracle Cloud applications (apps) to drive one of the largest digital transformations in the global telecom industry across all its core business operations.
It said the implementation will help the telco to drive efficiency, scale operations and integration across its local and regional operations.
Executive Boost at MTN, Belinda O’ Neil, said the two informationn communication technology (ICT) firms partnered last year to complete the design of the Oracle Cloud Applications while this year will focus on finalising the build and deploying across our markets.
Senior Vice President – Business Applications, Oracle, Arun Khehar, said: “With clear signs of economic recovery across key African markets, MTN’s decision to undertake large scale digital transformation will be instrumental in achieving strategic business objectives. We are confident that the deployment of the Oracle Cloud enabled digital core will help MTN deliver value for all stakeholders and create differentiation needed to achieve market leadership.”

The Oracle suite of cloud applications will also help MTN improve working capital through efficiencies in inventory management and reduce obsolescence. The implementation will drive further productivity through automation, self-service, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile application capabilities; besides also enhancing management visibility across all business operations for real time performance measurement.
Under this initiative, MTN will implement Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP); Supply Chain Management (SCM); Enterprise Performance Management (EPM); Customer Experience (CX); Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Oracle Service Cloud solutions.
