Client's processes and tools were re-engineered to optimize the planning, deployment, and operation of their transport networks and improve capacity utlization of this network

Client Background

Client: Spanish multinational broadband and telecommunications provider

Industry: Telecommunications

Services: Telephone operator and mobile network provider

Areas of operation: Europe, Central, and South America.

Challenges

The major challenges were curtailing network expenditure, making processes more productive and achieving inventory accuracy in the LatAm region.

Solution

Wipro re-engineered the company's processes and tools to optimize the planning, deployment, and operation of their transport networks and also improved the quality and efficiency (capacity utilization) of this network.

Business impact

The TOP project had a huge impact on the network savings. The financial KPIs improved substantially with 15-25% capital expenditure reduction and 10-15% improvement in operational efficiency. There was also qualitative impact on MTTP with improved inventory availability and accuracy, & time to market.

The solution helped reduce the transport network's cost structure -opex and capex-  and made it more flexible and scalable, revamped the time-to-market and enhanced customer experience.

Sound Bite

“We have worked with this client over the past 5 years to get a significant cost saving across multiple opcos in the area of transmission network. This enables our client to channelize their spend for the new initiatives, at the same time optimizing their spend in the existing network across multiple countries. We have used multiple levers to identify opportunities for capex and OPEX reduction in the transmission network and the similar approach can benefit many of our communications industry customers.”
