White paper
Building critical supply and demand capabilities for Telecom network operators
Platforms with advanced supply and demand capabilities enable better, faster decisions.
Common telecom operators
challenges by role
- “We have rapid innovation with shorter and shorter product life cycles”
- “Market saturation in mature markets is leading to intense competition”
- “Our leading demand drivers & indicators not being monitored systematically - Creates surprises”
- “Massive volumes of customer, supplier, product, and market data available but not being used effectively to drive decisions and business results”
- “We have highly silo’ed planning – e.g. Purchase planning done independently from customer forecasting and fulfillment”
- “Limited end-to-end visibility on supply chain status, capacity and constraints”
- “Unique requirements across multiple business units – Wireless, Internet/TV and Network infrastructure”
- “Store replenishment and inventory allocations to customers is a highly manual process – especially for constrained SKUs”
- “Our batch planning systems are not providing real-time answers to demand and supply change what-ifs”
- “We are investing billions in capital to support 5G and other innovations and need to make project deadlines”
- “Mergers & acquisitions to fuel growth require better long range planning”
- “Slow, siloed planning processes without clear view on constraints lead to alignment gap between planning, finance and operations execution.”
- “Our S&OP is conducted on PowerPoint – A big productivity drain and highly ineffective meetings”
Aim big, start small, iterate rapidly.
