Oracle and Telefonica Spain have announced a multi-year agreement to migrate the latter’s systems to the cloud and to develop new communication services for consumers and businesses. Under the deal, Telefonica will migrate the bulk of its existing Oracle database systems to a dedicated on-premise cloud platform to support provisioning and delivery of new services, as well as the Spanish operator’s mission-critical operational and commercial systems including its BSS and OSS platforms and applications, business intelligence systems, CRM, billing and revenue management.
Telefonica said the collaboration is part of a multi-year initiative to consolidate the technology infrastructure that underpins its communications network into a shared, open-standard platform designed to support its growing digital services portfolio, including new services around Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G.
