Nexign signs strategic partnership with Dubai’s NETS International
N
exign, a leading Business Support
System (BSS) and Internet of Things (IoT)
platform provider, has announced a strategic
reseller partnership with Dubai-based
system integrator and solutions specialist,
NETS International. The collaboration will
allow the two industry leaders to bring
flexible and scalable network solutions
offerings to operators across the Middle
East and Africa (MEA) region, enabling
them to accelerate their transition from
communications service providers (CSPs) to
digital service providers (DSPs).
In its 2018 ICT Enterprise Insights report,
global market analyst firm, Ovum, revealed
that the telecoms sector boasts the greatest
digital-maturity-progression index. With a
score of 43.9%, it outpaces manufacturers,
retailers and even the FSI sector. By 2021,
almost all Tier 1 and most Tier 2 telecoms
operators across EMENA, APAC and the
Americas are expected to be either running
their operations on the cloud or planning
the migration. A 2017 Ernst and Young poll
showed that 71% of telecoms operators
worldwide have placed the transformation
from CSPs to DSPs at the top of their list of
priorities in a bid to build digital business
models and drive monetisation.
NETS’ core competencies in the
domains of cloud, data centre, information
security, enterprise networking and
broadband access networks will gain strong
augmentation from Nexign’s technology –
specifically Nexign Digital BSS, which is an
end-to-end platform delivering full-stack
BSS functionality – and global expertise in
bringing the power of Digital Transformation
to telecoms operators.
