Vodafone Spain Extends Oracle App to Support MVNOs

Oracle today announced that Vodafone Spain has extended and upgraded its deployment of Oracle Communications Service Activation to activate complex, next-generation subscriber services, enable Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services and lower operational costs.

As the wireless market evolved and industry competition intensified, Vodafone Spain faced several key challenges including numerous manual processes that reduced service delivery timeframes and increased order fallout, high operating costs, and slow time to market for new services.

"As the recognized market-leading service activation product, Oracle has enabled the automation of our provisioning process and reduced activation times from hours to seconds. This has enabled Vodafone Spain to launch new services quickly, provide a significant return on our investment while allowing us to maintain a low total cost of ownership."

"Oracle is proud to have partnered with Vodafone Spain as it derives significant value and time-to-market from our activation product," said David Sharpley, vice president, Marketing and Alliances, Oracle Communications.
