Group synergies offer significant untapped potential for telecoms to realize the required next-level efficiency.
Efficiencies can be achieved both through centralization in traditional back-end functions such as Finance and HR, as well as through standardization and sharing of best-practices in local front-end functions. The complexity and time required to implement sustainable group change means that net savings take 2-3 years to achieve. The need to deliver on mid-term cost savings plans makes group synergies a hot topic for operators today.
