Solving It

Prodapt won the project amid a stiff contest to be the company’s Primary System Integrator (PSI), collaborating with multiple solutions providers and Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software to build the mobile network from scratch and operationalize the service.

We executed two tasks in parallel. Firstly, we adopted open-source Infrastructure as Code to spin up the necessary infrastructure for the network and IT stack on the cloud for the new regions. It automates cloud component formation and quickens the process by a great margin. Secondly, we enabled migrating subscribers from the acquired Telco so the company could manage and track the end-to-end user journey.

Our experience in building solutions for communication service providers came in handy. Aware of the functional and technical gaps in building and configuring a telecom network on the cloud, we were able to deploy the right resources for the solution. We managed the entire lifecycle management of new customers, activation of the network, number porting, and several functions across the network and Business Support Services.

Prodapt integrated solutions from five primary partners for the core IT stack and 35 peripheral partners for the allied solutions, managing the entire process from onboarding to implementing partner solutions.

We leveraged a concept termed Shift Security Left, which takes security closer to the Design phase, far ahead to the Build phase. This ensured vulnerabilities were detected and eliminated much before network activation.

The two new markets had individual but scalable architecture built totally cloud-native – within 18 months.
