Ooredoo Group, an ICT (information and communications technology) provider and tech company, has announced partnerships with Tech Mahindra and Google Cloud technologies. These collaborations will drive accelerated digital transformation across six operating companies within Ooredoo’s global network.
By partnering with Tech Mahindra and utilising Google Cloud’s API (Application Programming Interface) management platform (Apigee), Ooredoo will adopt a digital platform approach. This change is expected to boost performance, enhance their digital services, and ultimately provide customers with an improved experience.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulla Al Thani, geputy group CEO, Ooredoo, says “As a part of our corporate strategy, we actively seek out and foster partnerships with like-minded entities that share our dedication to innovation and technology. Through these collaborations, we aim to elevate our offerings and unleash the full potential of our APIs, enabling us to provide unparalleled digital services to our customers. We are thrilled to join forces with Google Cloud and Tech Mahindra for this transformative project, as it will accelerate our digital transformation, elevate the customer experience, and strengthen our digital ecosystem across our operating companies.”
Ram Ramachandran, head Middle East and Africa at Tech Mahindra, says “A seismic shift has taken place in the telecom industry, moving it from the hardware to the software arena, mostly driven by API. Businesses are using APIs to deliver digital capabilities and data in a consumable manner. Bringing together Tech Mahindra, Ooredoo, and Google’s Cloud Apigee marks a significant milestone in revolutionising the telecoms industry and delivering unparalleled digital services with APIs at its core. The partnership exemplifies our collective efforts to create a more connected, agile, and customer-centric ecosystem, while unlocking new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
Ghassan Kosta, Qatar country manager, Google Cloud, adds “The joint expertise of Google Cloud as a global tech leader and Tech Mahindra’s deep understanding of the telecoms market will ensure Ooredoo is well-positioned to lead digital transformation, both within its organisation and across the industry, and deliver cutting-edge digital services to its customers.”
Ooredoo Group’s new partnerships with Google Cloud and Tech Mahindra serve as a concrete illustration of its commitment to offering the most enhanced digital experience possible. The integral role of API in the development of open innovation, ecosystem expansion, mobile app development, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and data-driven insights will vastly expand opportunities for growth across the Group’s global footprint.
