Hardly any industry is as affected by digitization as telecommunications. Companies in this sector are facing severe challenges. As the number of internet-based devices and services continues to grow, there is increasing pressure from customers, regulators, competitors, and investors. Sales within core business are declining while telecommunications companies are forced to heavily invest. Therefore, they are required to find new sources of income. The newly reformed German Telecommunications Act also strengthens consumers and enforces network expansion, especially in terms of fiber optics. The EU taxonomy is increasing pressure to be more sustainable. Companies need to pursue strategic broadband expansion as well as cooperation strategies and new ecosystems. Our experts will be happy to assist you in tackling these challenges.
Whether it arises from the amended German Telecommunications Act or simply to enhance how customers benefit, fair consumer contracts create incentives and advantages for both parties. They represent a building block for a new area of digital ecosystem that telecommunications companies and energy providers can create in cooperation with providers such as the housing industry.
The onward progress of digitization is inconceivable without fast and stable networks in place. Creating gigabit-capable fiber optics and 5G networks confronts infrastructure providers with considerable challenges: The necessary investment must be reconciled with limited additional revenue potential. As well as ensuring cost-optimized setup and expansion of the network infrastructure, providers must also monetize it and develop new business models. We help you to
New digital technologies, shorter product cycles, new competitors, and ever-growing pressure on margins: Your operational areas are currently facing a dynamic market environment. Competitive prices, a flexible organization, and high quality are important levers for success. Our experts will assist you in achieving more through operational excellence. We will work together to develop the bridge between strategy and implementation, in the form of a target operating model (TOM). We combine vision and strategy, process and cooperation models, and also define roles for your operations. We will carefully guide you through this process with our proven project and change management approach.
Though many companies have already committed themselves to a more sustainable framework (carbon neutrality 2050, green IT) a large number still lacks a comprehensive ecological strategy. The short-term requirements of EU taxonomy are only the tip of the iceberg.
The fifth generation of mobile telephony will make new automation applications possible and as such represents the next level in the industrial Internet of Things. The manufacturing industry being able to make use of it is dependent on the local expansion of mobile communications infrastructures or so called campus networks. The implementation of 5G technology is becoming a competitive factor in terms of internal processes and the range of services offered.
Meeting the continually growing demand for the conveyance of larger volumes of data necessitates significant investment on the part of telecommunications companies. At the same time, your competitors make money from those capabilities, too. Telecommunications companies must avoid becoming pure and, in the worst-case scenario, unprofitable data suppliers (“dumb pipelines”).
The amendment to the German Telecommunications Act strengthens consumers. The example of fair consumer contracts in the energy supply sector shows how telecommunications companies can increase the benefits for the customer while also responding to new developments.
Another aspect of the Telecommunications Act is the strengthening of the consumer position and emphasis on strategic expansion of fiber optics.
