SARATOGA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MATRIXX Software (http://www.matrixx.com) today announced that Ooredoo, a leading telecommunications operator in The Sultanate of Oman, has deployed MATRIXX Software to enable the launch of the first all-digital, individually customized mobile plans in the Sultanate. Ooredoo Oman implemented MATRIXX Digital Commerce in less than six months time, providing the infrastructure necessary to quickly launch Ooredoo’s new digital offerings.
With new customizable plans, users can now tailor prepaid plans online through the award-winning Ooredoo Oman app to meet their individual needs, while also enjoying endless social data. The first of its kind in the Middle East, this online, personalized approach to mobile service plans represents a growing trend around the world for operators to abandon their limited one-size-fits-all plans in favor of customizable options that can be easily tailored by consumers to meet their distinct needs.
“Our customers have very high expectations for what their digital experience should be,” said Ian Dench, CEO of Ooredoo Oman. “We chose MATRIXX Software and their MATRIXX Digital Commerce platform because it enabled us to fast-track our digital transformation, making it possible to set a new benchmark when it comes to customer experience in Oman.”
When released in the market, new customers wishing to take advantage of this innovative product can purchase the SIM by downloading the Ooredoo Oman app and choosing a number and a delivery method or by visiting their nearest Ooredoo store. Existing users can upgrade at no extra cost through the Ooredoo Oman app simply by choosing the ‘migrate existing number’ option on the app.
“Around the globe, CEOs are focused on improving NPS, increasing margins and finding new sources of revenue,” said Dave Labuda, CEO, CTO and founder of MATRIXX Software. “The optimal route to these improvements is through the rapid launch of digital commerce and improved consumer engagement. MATRIXX is enabling Telco’s such as Ooredoo to quickly deploy our digital commerce platform in a low risk, high impact way, delivering solutions in months instead of years, which is unprecedented in the industry.”
