Silicon Valley, California, USA. 2 March 2022 — O₂ Telefonica_, one of the integrated telecommunications providers in Germany, announced that its newly launched B2B services are enabled by MATRIXX Software, a global specialist in 5G monetisation, running on Google Cloud Confidential Computing to maximise security and data privacy.

O₂ Telefonica is the first to run MATRIXX’s Converged Charging System on Google Cloud’s Confidential Computing.

“With the first launch of this new enterprise offering in the public cloud, O₂ Telefonica has raised the bar on what’s possible for telecommunication providers,” says Glo Gordon, CEO at MATRIXX Software. “We’ve built our cloud native Digital Commerce Platform to enable the flexibility and agility that only the public cloud can provide. Working in partnership with Google Cloud’s breakthrough Confidential Computing offering, we’re honored to support O₂ Telefónica’s technology transformation.”

“This new offering from O₂ Telefonica will help German businesses more effectively manage their digital applications and connectivity solutions, and ensure the highest levels of data privacy and security,” says George Nazi, VP, Telco, Media, and Entertainment Industry Solutions at Google Cloud. “We’re proud to bolster O₂ Telefonica’s commitment to deliver secure, high speed connectivity in the region, and to support the modernisation of its own core systems through the delivery of the MATRIXX Digital Commerce Platform on Google Cloud.”
