Omantel and Optiva have agreed to update Optiva Charging Engine to a cloud-native architecture on Omantel’s private cloud over a multi-year period. The upgrade is the latest step in Omantel’s digital transformation strategy, which aims to improve customer experience and reduce time to market for new services by leveraging technology and automation.
“With Optiva as our partner, we feel confident to execute our digital transformation strategy and play our role in the Oman 2040 vision. Optiva’s cloud-native technology leadership and automation framework will allow us to launch services faster as we embark on the next phase of our growth with 5G and new digital services,” said Samy Ghassany, COO of Omantel.
“We are proud to support Omantel with our end-to-end offering, including our charging and payment platform and full suite of maintenance and managed services. Our collaboration allows Omantel to harness the transformational power of innovation and grow its mission-critical capabilities both commercially and operationally. Omantel’s commitment to technology adoption is exemplary, and Optiva is proud to play a strategic partner role supporting Omantel in its digital transformation journey,” said John Giere, President and CEO of Optiva.
The upgrade will support new 5G monetization business models and introduce the Optiva Test Framework, which will reduce deployment time by up to 70%. As a result of Optiva’s platform, Omantel will be able to develop innovative customer-centric services and expand its client base throughout the consumer, fixed, broadband, and corporate market sectors.
