As most operators have only coverage for one or a limited number of countries, extended through partnerships, they turn to TEM to manage the services brought under multinational outsourcing contracts and to support their large customers with analytics and reporting capabilities.

Telecom operators can rely on TEM for multiple purposes:

  • The TEM solution provides in a platform for network and/or fleet management and/or Mobile Device Management.
  • The Business Intelligence functions of a TEM solution are the cornerstone of a web based reporting solution the operator is offering to his corporate customer base.
  • The operator private labels, or passes through, a TEM provider to its customers.
  • The operator acts as the consolidating contractor for a large, multicarrier network outsourcing agreement where a TEM solution is as much needed as for customers managing their telecom internally.

Network outsourcing is experiencing strong adoption and in outsourcing agreements, the operator is no longer simply managing its own service contracts - it is responsible for managing competitive operator services as the agent of the client.

Operator TEM Solutions are delivered through the operator web portal which has been specifically designed to place the customer at the centre of the online experience.

Visibility into the cost of services is challenging and control difficult as financial data is scattered across the organization.
