Introduction and Industry Context
The telecom industry operates in a highly competitive and service-driven environment, managing network infrastructure, customer subscriptions, billing, vendor contracts, and regulatory compliance. Telecom businesses must coordinate equipment procurement, service provisioning, asset maintenance, customer support, and financial operations while ensuring service reliability and scalability.
Legacy systems and disconnected applications often create silos between network operations, customer management, billing, and finance, resulting in limited visibility, manual processes, delayed reporting, and reduced customer satisfaction. SAP Business One provides a unified ERP platform that integrates operations, assets, procurement, inventory, finance, and customer management—delivering real-time control and operational transparency across telecom business operations.
