Case StudyAnalysis of Telecom OPEX and Other Cost Reduction Strategies

• The MNO was facing significant cost pressures, and sought ways to improve the profit margins in one of its European markets

• The client wanted RocSearch to analyse the strategies and global best practices deployed by MNOs for cost reduction

Client Objectives / Goals Approach and Methodology Sample Output

• The team assessed the last five years’ financial performance of top 50 global MNOs and their cost reduction programmes. They categorisedthese companies under eight different cost reduction strategies

• The best performing MNO from each category was shortlisted and in-depth case studies were created on the strategies and tactics deployed by these MNOs to achieve their cost reduction targets

• The team also covered strategies of smaller players operating with healthy profit margins

• Provided an assessment of the benefits and potential risks (such as higher customer churn, inferior customer experience, etc.) of applying various cost reduction strategies

Our findings were used by the head of the client’s strategy team, in his recommendations to the board to reduce the OPEX and cost for the company
