Nokia digital operations software supports digital transformation of Telefonica’s Movistar Colombia

Nokia announced that Telefonica Colombia affiliate, Movistar, has completed another stage of deployment in its digital transformation journey, simplifying operational complexities and improving service launch times.

With Nokia’s Digital Operations software, Movistar has modernised its Operations Support Systems (OSS) to facilitate the provisioning of mobile and fixed services for all subscriber products.

Movistar Colombia is the latest company to benefit from Nokia’s Digital Operation’s software, underscoring the solution’s momentum in other Latin American markets, including Chile, Argentina and Peru. Through near-zero touch automation, Digital Operations software will enable Movistar Colombia to complete more than 43 million tasks on a monthly basis, optimising its processes and providing a better experience to its users through multiple channels.

The activation and provisioning of Nokia’s Digital Operations software provides Movistar Colombia with a catalog-based compliance solution executed through an open API. This eliminates silo-based network management and allows agile product launches by simplifying workflows, harmonising and optimising Movistar’s platforms and processes, ultimately reducing costs and implementation time.

Nokia’s solution is supporting Movistar Colombia’s voice, mobile data, value-added and over-the-top services for 3G and 4G, as well as portability requests and VoLTE provisioning for the operator’s 19 million mobile subscriber and 3 million fixed subscribers and TV users. Nokia is one of the leading service orchestration and fulfillment system providers, with over 110 communication service providers worldwide relying on Nokia’s catalog-driven fulfillment solution.

Roberto Puche, CIO, Movistar Colombia, says, “Nokia’s Digital Operations solution unlocks key time savings that will allow us to deploy multiple solutions from various vendors and open the door to new revenue-generating services more rapidly than before with the automation and servicing requirements that are critical to meeting our customers’ needs.”

Francisco Javier Bertran, digital transformation director Movistar Colombia, says, “Nokia is a strategic partner for Movistar’s digital transformation process, allowing a convergent and profitable provision of services at scale, which facilitates reaching the market in an agile and timely manner with services for both fixed and mobile clients.”

Bhaskar Gorti, president of Nokia Software and Nokia chief digital officer, says, “By modernising its OSS with Nokia Software solutions, Movistar Colombia is better equipped to deliver new customer-centric products and services and to manage these with extreme automation. Through our Common Software Foundation, Nokia Software solutions, like Digital Operations, are designed to give operators wide operational flexibility. We are pleased to be helping Movistar Colombia through its digital transformation.”
