Beyond Now will enable Odido to expand its B2B portfolio with partner solutions and modernize its legacy Business Support Systems (BSS) as part of its transformation to a next-generation telco
Dublin, Ireland – May, 15 2024 – Beyond Now, a fast-growing AI powered ecosystem orchestration and digital platform provider, today announced it has been selected by Odido, one of the largest operators in the Netherlands, to lead its BSS transformation and underpin its B2B expansion strategy. Beyond Now’s Digital Business Platform will enable Odido Business to partner with third parties, offer enriched B2B solutions to its SMB and Enterprise customers, and replace its legacy BSS. Initially, Odido will use Beyond Now’s platform to facilitate the rapid onboarding of its 40 partners to seamlessly co-create and co-sell their solutions, benefiting from faster time to market and improved ability to scale operations.
Beyond Now’s platform will help to facilitate large scale digital transformation and enable Odido to become a next generation telco. Odido will also be empowered to better meet its B2B customers’ digital needs, and it expects to launch new services including fixed internet, partner products, mobile and SD-WAN. The collaboration follows news announced in September 2023 that T-Mobile Netherlands and Tele 2 Mobile had rebranded as Odido.
The Dutch operator chose Beyond Now because it needed a specialist platform that would support the monetization and orchestration of partner offerings at scale, helping to drive new revenues from the growth in demand for B2B2X solutions. The platform offers unparalleled partner management and out-of-the-box capabilities that will automate existing manual, labor intensive processes, streamline collaboration, increase operational efficiencies and accelerate service delivery times.
We aim to deliver the best customer experience and service. Since Odido’s rebranding last year, we have been on a fast track towards digital transformation, driving efficiency improvements that enable us to focus resources on developing partner-led solutions that meet our business customers’ needs. We’re delighted to have Beyond Now at our side, supporting us with proven expertise that will enable us to rapidly introduce these new offerings and grow our business.
Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer Enterprise at Odido
Odido recognizes that improving operational agility and time-to-market is fundamental to addressing the significant growth opportunity available to CSPs in the B2B sector. Ecosystem orchestration is a growing priority for CSPs that want to maximize partner synergies, especially if they are to capitalize on new revenues coming from B2B2X offerings. Our platform ensures that Odido will be well positioned to monetize new technologies and orchestrate complex use cases involving multiple partners, suppliers and industry specialists. Slotting in this final piece to the partner puzzle will provide Odido’s tech savvy SMB and Enterprise customers with the complete solutions they need.
