Every innovation begins with a vision to create something that redefines possibilities and sets new standards. At Adapt IT Telecoms, that vision came to life with the rollout of v.Services Core Version 4.0, a platform designed to simplify operations, enable scalable growth, and drive innovation in telecommunications. This wasn’t just a software upgrade, it was a milestone that showcased our commitment to excellence, collaboration, and the transformative power of technology.
The Stage: Yas Madagascar
The rollout began with Yas Madagascar, the leading mobile network operator (MNO) in Madagascar and part of the Axian Group. Known for their unwavering focus on customer satisfaction, Yas’ reputation for delivering outstanding user experiences made them the ideal partner to launch v.Services 4.0.
From the outset, we understood the importance of ensuring a seamless transition. Yas’ customer-first approach meant that any potential hiccups during the upgrade needed to be identified, addressed, and resolved swiftly. Our team was ready to rise to the occasion, confident in the capabilities of our platform and the strength of our partnership with Yas.
The Journey: Delivering Excellence
As with any significant upgrade or deployment, challenges were expected. But instead of seeing these as obstacles, our team approached them as opportunities to demonstrate the robustness of v.Services 4.0 and the depth of our expertise.
The upgrade journey began with the SMSC, a relatively streamlined and uncomplicated phase. However, as the project progressed to the USSD Gateway and USSD Menu Builder, the complexity increased. These systems are critical to Yas’ operations, and precision was paramount.
Our Senior Product Developer, Eckhard Kohlmeyer, led the technical execution, meticulously planning and implementing each phase, while Jacques Oosthuizen and Philip Foulkes provided essential support. At the same time, Project Manager Mark Jones ensured smooth communication and coordination between teams, keeping the project on track.
When issues arose during user acceptance testing, the team was quick to respond, collaborating closely with Yas to troubleshoot and resolve them. By the time the deployment phase arrived, every detail had been refined. The result? A successful rollout with no need to roll back deployments, a testament to thorough preparation, proactive problem-solving, and the strength of our technology.
The Result: A New Era for v.Services
The successful rollout means Yas Madagascar is now the first operator running v.Services Core Version 4.0. For us, this milestone is not just a technical achievement. It’s a clear demonstration of the platform’s ability to deliver value, streamline operations, and support growth in real-world scenarios.
But we’re not stopping here. Next in line is a leading mobile network operator in West Africa, eager to embrace the possibilities of v.Services 4.0. Each new rollout is a chance to refine our processes, build on our success, and bring even greater value to our customers.
