Tech Mahindra will provide a ‘digital first’ experience by leveraging OOTB (Out of the Box) process libraries and its capabilities across digital technologies like BSS (Business Support Systems), Customer Experience, Cloud, Data & Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This multi-year engagement involving modernization of existing stacks based on cloud native products will accelerate Telefónica Germany’s digital journey and help achieve its vision to become a digital champion.
Vikram Nair, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) of Tech Mahindra, said, “This is a step towards elevating Tech Mahindra’s long standing strategic relationship with Telefónica. Through this transformation we will enable Telefónica to ‘Run Better, Change faster and Grow Greater’. As a part of the TechMNxt charter, Tech Mahindra is focused on leveraging next generation technologies to cater to our customer’s evolving and dynamic needs. We are strongly committed to significantly enhance Telefónica’s growth journey and deliver business benefits such as accelerated product launch time.”
