Their team is very familiar with the BSCS system and its functionality. The staff also quickly understood our system and our way of operation and came up with new ideas on how to integrate our processes with BSCS iX while implementing the upgrade. We all cooperated excellently and understood the needs of each other,” he added.
“In addition to the immediate benefits, this upgrade has given MTN a roadmap for future convergence,” said Wolfgang Kroh, CEO of LHS. “We were also very pleased with the way the upgrade was handled by Technology Partners.
