Mandate:
Strategy and technology consulting for the expansion of capacities in Argentinian mobile radio networks using Wi-Fi

Client:
Telecommunications, an international mobile network operator group, with € 52 billion annual turnover

Measures:

Structured the consulting project consisting of a main report (on capacity bottlenecks and how to remove them) and a secondary report (on partnership with a Wi-Fi specialist), project planning for four main workstreams, and stays in South America and Europe
Conducted interviews with stakeholders in different parts of the company, and summarised the results
Analysed and compiled the project presentation with a team of four consultants
Created various network expansion scenarios to increase network capacity, simulated the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of these scenarios, and discussed the results with the client
Conducted tests of the services offered by the Wi-Fi specialist and documented the results, prepared a company analysis of the Wi-Fi specialist and recommendations for action to the client on the question of a strategic partnership
Presented the results in three management workshops: a full-day meeting to present the main report in four workstreams (Strategy, User Experience, Technology and TCO/Total Cost of Ownership), a half-day meeting to present the side report (partnership with the Wi-Fi specialist) and a half-day meeting at group headquarters in Europe

Success:

The client received the information and analysis which it needed for its investment decision to resolve the capacity bottlenecks.
The client was also able to realistically assess the effects of various network expansion scenarios on the TCO.
Relying on the reports we presented, the client carried out the network expansion and achieved a high level of customer satisfaction and profitability.
