    With Jive Intranet, VEON Achieves 543% ROI

    CASE STUDY With Jive Intranet, VEON Achieves 543% ROI CHALLENGES VEON, a telecommunications company based in Amsterdam, was rapidly growing with more than 10,000 employees across several locations. The problem? Their outdated communication strategy was holding them back. OVERVIEW It was difficult for teams to share knowledge and achieve their goals together. INDUSTRY: Telecommunications Around this same time, they were also undergoing a major transformation. According to Jean-Yves Charlier, CEO of VEON, they had a vision to COMPANY SIZE: 10,000+ employees “reinvent a global communications pioneer into a global tech company, aiming to lead the personal internet revolution by bringing new experiences LOCATION: to hundreds of millions of customers in the markets of tomorrow.” Amsterdam To accomplish this, the company went through a complete rebranding and SOLUTION: Jive Cloud made changes to their organizational structure. They also began searching for an intranet to help them communicate faster and improve collaboration. SOLUTION BENEFITS Quickly, VEON decided that Jive was the right intranet for them. That’s Achieved 543% ROI because Jive was already improving operations in Beeline Kazakhstan - Streamlined internal a division of VEON with 2,000+ employees. As a result, leaders at the communication company already knew what Jive could do. They began planning to launch Improved collaboration a new intranet for all employees. Reduced time spent searching “To make Jive our ubiquitous tool for transformation, we started from for information unifying our communications. We literally “killed” separated time-worn intranets of each country, substituting them with a single cloud-based Jive solution,” says a team member at VEON.

    ITW Global Leaders' Forum Demonstrates How Blockchain Can Transform Inter-Carrier Settlement

    ITW Global Leaders’ Forum demonstrates how blockchain can transform inter-carrier settlement The successful Proof of Concept shows how blockchain-enabled settlement between multiple carriers can revolutionize wholesale telecoms sector by streamlining complex transactions HKT (SEHK:6823) – HONG KONG / LONDON, October 23, 2018 – ITW Global Leaders’ Forum (GLF) has announced the successful completion of a multi-lateral blockchain Proof of Concept (PoC) involving several of its members. The PoC, led by PCCW Global and Colt Technology Services, in collaboration with BT, Orange, Telefonica and Telstra, has demonstrated the viability of a platform that can settle voice transactions between multiple carriers in minutes rather than hours. The breakthrough is the latest in a series of blockchain PoCs carried out by GLF members and supported by technology partner and blockchain specialist Clear. The trial just completed is the first to involve a multi-lateral series of relationships among the wholesale telecommunications industry, and points to a future of secure and frictionless settlement across the sector. The GLF is now reviewing options around a potential governance structure to develop the technology further and implement a solution for the industry that replaces existing and cumbersome processes for settlement of voice as well as other types of transactions, examples such as mobile roaming or data on demand. Mr. Marc Halbfinger, Chief Executive Officer of PCCW Global and the Chairman of the GLF, said, “We are very pleased that this latest Proof of Concept has expanded to include more carriers. It has been a strong belief within the GLF that innovative technologies such as blockchain can be harnessed to improve the overall efficiency of the industry, and it is now clear that the industry can look forward to the benefit of becoming further aligned.

    5G and Edge Computing: Why Does 5G Need Edge? 4G and Edge Will Drive 5G Coverage and Applications

    5G and edge computing: why does 5G need edge? 4G and edge will drive 5G coverage and applications. This would boost service demand and offer growth for telcos at a time when there is still scepticism for the 5G business case Dalia Adib, Edge computing practice lead December 2019 © STL Partners 1 5G and edge computing: why does 5G need edge? 5G and edge computing are two inextricably linked technologies: they are both poised to significantly improve the performance of applications and enable huge amounts of data to be processed in real-time. 5G increases speeds by up to ten times that of 4G, whereas mobile edge computing reduces latency by bringing compute capabilities into the network, closer to the end user. We argue that 5G needs mobile edge computing for two reasons. First, it is inherent in the 5G standards as it is the only way to meet the latency targets that have been set (1ms network latency). Improvements in the radio interface alone will not achieve these. Second, the gradual approach operators are taking to deploy 5G – the 5G go slow cycle – will mean coverage of “full 5G” will be insufficient to cultivate an ecosystem of new applications. However, edge could seed a 5G market even before widespread coverage. What is the 5G go slow cycle? Operators in different markets have diverse approaches towards 5G. research shows operators in the US, China, Korea and Japan are chasing 5G most enthusiastically and back that enthusiasm with real investment. This is characterised by T-Mobile’s CTO Neville Ray: “We are all in on 5G.

  • Telenor Announces Pricing of Its Offering of 70 Million VEON Common Shares and Adss

    Telenor Announces Pricing of Its Offering of 70 Million VEON Common Shares and Adss

    Telenor announces pricing of its offering of 70 million VEON common shares and ADSs Telenor ASA today announces that the underwriters have priced its offering of 70 million common shares in VEON Ltd. (formerly known as VimpelCom Ltd.) in the form of common shares and American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at a public offering price of USD 3.75 per ADS/share, resulting in net proceeds to Telenor of USD 259 million. The offering is expected to close on or about 12 April 2017. Today's transaction represents 4.0 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares, leaving Telenor with approximately 346.7 million VEON ADSs (19.7 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares), including the VEON ADSs that are underlying Telenor's USD 1 billion, 3-year exchangeable bond due 2019. Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have acted as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the offering. Following the transaction, VEON will no longer be treated as an associated company in Telenor’s financial reporting and all of the previously recognised currency translation differences, amounting to an accounting loss of NOK 7.5 billion, including tax effects related to the hedging instruments, will be reclassified to the income statement. The effects of reclassification do not impact the total equity of Telenor. The effect will be recognised in the second quarter 2017. The net proceeds of USD 259 million (around NOK 2.2 billion) will be included in Telenor's cash flow statement for the second quarter 2017. The offering of common shares and ADSs is being made pursuant to VEON's shelf registration statement on Form F-3 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 23 May 2014, as amended and most recently declared effective on 20 April 2016 (the "Registration Statement").
