18 Market context Telecom operators have a high legitimacy to address this untapped market but their existing systems are not sufficient Telecom operators have a strong legitimacy both on billing capabilities and on cloud services Their existing systems do however not enable Digital Ecosystem Management currently Telco are part of the most legitimate players on billing services: Operating a business support system (product/customer/order management and billing) is part of the basics of a Telco business Billing is one of the biggest assets of telecom operators as they can charge clients on hundreds of different products and with complex operations (several plans, add-ons, itemized bill, etc.) With B2B customers, Telco's also have to deal with huge mobile fleet and layers of services. The ability to bill mass market with millions of clients is a great asset that can be leveraged to diversify revenues streams Telco have as well strong capabilities in terms of cloud services : IaaS PaaS Telco billing and IT systems are often complex and not agile enough to be opened to third parties. This capability to be opened to third parties is critical to enable B2B2X services in a repeatable economic approach Telco need to position themselves quickly on this untapped market An off the shelf solution in addition to existing systems is hence needed Existing operator IT system New Cloud platform (PaaS) Corporation Aggregator Startup Current customers Potential new customers 18
