Digital Transformation Consulting
Accenture
Full Credential Description
Vodafone faced the challenge of transforming its highly complex and traditionally managed operational functions, including network monitoring, human resources, technology services, finance, and call center operations, which were previously handled separately across multiple markets. Recognizing the need for increased agility and efficiency, Vodafone leveraged its longstanding partnership with Accenture to develop Vodafone Intelligent Solutions (VOIS), a shared service center designed to streamline these functions into a single, integrated platform.
The tailored solution involved introducing "radical change" by offering VOIS as a commercial service to other industry customers. This move aimed to simplify Vodafone’s organizational structure, cultivate a customer-centric culture, and generate new career opportunities for its employees. Key technological innovation was the deployment of Accenture’s GenWizard, an AI-powered automation platform that accelerates IT service delivery. This platform enabled Vodafone to automate analysis, testing, and deployment processes, reducing the technology change cycle by more than 25% and enhancing overall operational efficiency. As a result, Vodafone can now deliver technology improvements faster, minimize downtime, and achieve high service levels for both internal and external customers, positioning VOIS as a scalable model for industry-wide adoption.
Furthermore, the initiative opened new career pathways for Vodafone employees through upskilling and training in emerging technologies, fostering a mindset shift towards partnership and innovation. This comprehensive approach not only improved efficiencies but also aligned with Vodafone’s strategic goal of industry leadership in customer experience and operational excellence, setting the stage for rapid growth and expanded market impact in the telecommunications sector.
