Business need

Bharti Airtel needed to transform its IT with a superior architecture that can scale with the customer growth and keep up with USPs business demands and also enable business transformation.

Key challenges

A rapidly expanding telecom market in India fueled exponential growth in the subscriber base of Bharti Airtel, the country's largest mobile service provider. But business processes that were not yet fully integrated and a complex IT infrastructure building that could scale at speed meant that Bharti Airtel had to employ substantial energies away from its core business of integrated telecom services.

Solution

IBM Business Consulting Services, IBM Global Services -- Application Management Services, Worldwide Strategic Outsourcing and Integrated Technology Services are building the well-defined proven solution based on the IBM SPDE architecture and IBM WebSphere Business Integration for Telecommunications software to deliver the value.

Results
