Mega Trends 2020-

25
(End Users Perspective)
Chat applications are
becoming a mainstream
trend and our preferred
way of interacting with
colleagues, friends and
family.
From the early days of simple
Voice or SMS to the favourite
FB, Instagram, Whatapp,
Snapchat like real-time online
conversations are everywhere
and here to stay
Bots and AI will drive a
second wave of
fragmentation and
disruption
User can live with poor voice
quality but even 5 sec Internet
Black out is Not Acceptable.
Always want to be connected
If so, will Two Decades old
Traditional Service Delivery
Contracts based on Vanilla
Outsourcing meet these
changing requirements ?
Mega Trends 2020-25
(Operator’s Perspective)

Organisations will have to shift


Service Delivery Models towards
Business Proposition rooted with
Outcomes & Individual Customer
Happiness Index, rather than
Transactions and Inputs
This shift can bring
significant difference to the
way we approach
Outsourcing delivery
Model
Key Focus Areas :

Customer’s Customer Requirements


Voice Maintenance to Data Maintenance
Content Maintenance Services : Netflix /Amazon
Prime
Faster & Innovative Personalized Offering
TAT should be in Minutes rather than in days
Cloud Computing & Smart metering Services (M2M)
as a part of total service offerings
Current Outsourcing Model ??
Vendor Need to REHAUL : Mindset, Skills & Capabilities
Network (BTS) KPI & SLAs to Customer Experience Model
Next Gen Technology : All IP-Cloud-GB Optic Fibre NW
Operators would more rely on M2M –ML & AI than Man
Service Analytics based rather just SLA
Smart Contracts-Real time Outcomes Based Objectives
Strong OEM (ICT) Alliances for Service to Solution Delivery
Innovation would be only MANTRA for sustenance
More empowered CTOs and their teams
Network Design, Network Planning already slipped to CTO
Continuous investment in capability building-To be in game
Will this Service Deliver Model Work ?
Major Shift: Voice O&M to Data O&M ++++ services
Now not simple BTS voice machines-Now all IP Servers

CxO Interviews- Experiences & Views
 Mr. H.L. Gupta : Sr. V.P, Jio & Ex. V.P Airtel
“At Jio, we strongly feel in creating differentiation. It can be user experience, can
be innovative products or pricing and this endeavour can be achieved better by
continuously building in-house capabilities“
 Mr. N.L.Garg : Chief Commercial Officer, Aircel
“Long back, we started with strategic outsourcing model but now with maturity
of operations and with great learning, we strongly feel that cost leadership via
OS model was a myth”
 Mr. Mangesh Badri, Ex Sr. V.P, Operations, Idea Cellular
“ Who can better understand than us that outsourcing operations to MNC
vendors is not a cheaper option. It was a pure strategic call, decades ago, by
selective telecom operators in a mad race of foot print & volume enhancement”
“ After seeing big jolt on their P&L in a current market situations, they have
already started consolidating core skills back under CTO domain. It’s a matter of
time, when they will start looking back to basics”
GlobalSource: Statistica 2017
Global ICT outsourcing grew to a
$105bn market in 2014, more
than doubling from 2004 when
it was $45bn and growing is very
different with global outsourcing
declining almost 30% ($77bn)
Source: PA Consulting UK IT
Outsourcing:
The pace is slowing and deal scope is shrinking
UK outsourcing is slowing in 2016 as 31% would outsource
more; in 2015, it was 40%.
More smaller deals, more focussed scope, RFS replacing
RFP in >85%, the end of the mega deal (Source: ISG So)
