Vodafone Accelerates Cable&Wireless Worldwide Integration
IT Connection Blog by Gary Barton
Summary Bullets:
- Faster integration will deliver quicker synergies for Vodafone and allow it to develop converged fixed and mobile services faster.
- This is a sudden change in strategy from Vodafone’s initial slow integration approach and the MNO’s plans are ambitious.
Vodafone has set out a strategy for its enterprise facing divisions that will take it through until 2015. Effective January 1st, 2013, will launch a new ‘Group Enterprise’ umbrella (GEU) consisting of four units: Vodafone Global Enterprise (VGE); Vodafone Carrier Services, Machine-to-Machine (M2M); and Hosting and Cloud Services. Vodafone’s new strategy also involves an accelerated integration schedule for Cable&Wireless Worldwide (CWW). From the start of 2013, Vodafone will begin to integrate CWW’s UK operations with Vodafone UK – including customer service; CWW’s international business, carrier services, hosting and cloud business with the new GEU; CWW’s HR, finance and legal services will be merged with Vodafone UK and CWW’s technology division will be merged with Vodafone’s Group Technology.
