MVNX Enhances MVNE Platform with Cerillion
Cerillion, known for its innovative composable BSS/OSS solutions tailored for the telecom industry, recently made headlines with an announcement that holds significant implications for MVNX, a prominent Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) based in South Africa. The collaboration aims to streamline MVNX's operations and greatly enhance the onboarding process for new Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) by leveraging Cerillion’s comprehensive suite of tools.
Expanding Capabilities
MVNX has been utilizing Cerillion's services since 2020 when it adopted the Convergent Charging System and Enterprise Product Catalogue to amplify its MVNE business capabilities. The latest upgrade sees MVNX expanding these tools while integrating several new modules including CRM Plus, Revenue Manager, and Service Manager, thereby consolidating its platform into a cohesive multi-tenant digital BSS/OSS solution that supports both postpaid and prepaid subscribers.
According to Valde Ferradaz, CEO of MVNX, the enhanced platform is designed to streamline operations and provide rapid turnaround times for brands seeking to launch and grow their MVNO offerings. The integration allows MVNO partners to easily incorporate their own customer relationship management (CRM) systems and self-service applications via Cerillion’s TM Forum-certified Open APIs. This means that MVNOs can tailor their services to better meet the diverse needs of their customers, thereby strengthening their market position.
Simplified Structure, Enhanced Offerings
The integration of these new pre-built modules into the MVNX infrastructure simplifies its overall architecture, which leads to better customer management, product management, and revenue assurance processes. By presenting a unified source for these operations, MVNX can significantly reduce operational complexities, allowing for quicker and more efficient service launches.
This strategic enhancement of MVNX’s MVNE platform is crucial as the demand for uniquely tailored and branded connectivity services continues to expand across South Africa and beyond. In the backdrop of a competitive sector, the ability to seamlessly integrate various networks and services makes MVNX an attractive option for digital brands.
Future-Ready Operations
Current MVNX clients include notable entities such as TFG Connect, Mr Price Mobile, and Standard Bank Mobile, with new partnerships in the pipeline. The company already supports 14 MVNO customers and is exploring further expansion opportunities throughout Africa. This growth is backed by a robust strategy that highlights MVNX's commitment to providing state-of-the-art mobile solutions and promoting inclusive digital access across the continent.
Cerillion’s CEO, Louis Hall, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating that the agile and effective operations enabled by their composable BSS/OSS suite allow MVNX to enhance its service framework and better respond to the needs of its MVNO clientele. This reflects a broader trend within the telecommunications industry towards more fluid and adaptable service offerings, ensuring that companies can swiftly respond to changing market demands.
Industry Engagement
In addition to its operational upgrades, MVNX has also positioned itself as a principal sponsor for the upcoming MVNO Nation Africa 2025 conference set to take place in Cape Town on July 15-16. CEO Valde Ferradaz is slated to give a keynote address titled 'The MVNO Landscape is Changing. What Does this Mean for Our Industry?' This event is expected to showcase the innovative strides MVNX has taken within the MVNO space, further solidifying its status as a leader in the market.
With MVNX and Cerillion joining forces at this key conference, they aim to highlight their role in revolutionizing telecommunications in Africa while fostering ongoing dialogue on how to optimize MVNO strategies for future growth.
Conclusion
As MVNX continues to innovate its MVNE platform with Cerillion's advanced solutions, the company is positioned not only for immediate growth but also for long-term sustainability in an evolving market. This partnership exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to mobile services that recognizes the importance of agility, adaptability, and comprehensive customer support in today’s telecom landscape.
