Challenges

Telecom Namibia faced several challenges in its efforts to modernize its operations and stay competitive:

Operational inefficiencies:
‍Manual data handling and the lack of centralized tools led to lengthy processes for determining network capacity, often taking 2-3 days to retrieve necessary information.

Data fragmentation:
‍Critical information about network capacity was stored across multiple Excel sheets, making it difficult to gain a unified view and track resources effectively.

Scalability limitations:
‍Relying on decentralized systems hindered efficient scaling and risked data inconsistencies when multiple users accessed or modified data simultaneously.

Data accuracy:
‍Redundant and outdated data posed risks to the reliability of capacity information, creating challenges in offering northbound services confidently and preventing errors in capacity reservations. Solutions & Innovations
