Carlos Valdecantos Key questions of a scenario planning after recession.

In these fast-changing and turbulent times, businesses are facing an uncertain future and conventional business models may no longer be viable. Many management teams will need to re-assess their operations and consider a number of possible scenarios. As explained before in several articles in this blog, mmC Group thinks nobody can predict what is likely to happen to the overall economy, or indeed, the impact the current downturn may have on the telecom (or any other) industry or on a particular… Continue

Laurinda Seabra Are you Selling your products or services to NGOs, Civic Organisations and SMEs? Read on ...

About the Procurement Gateway - Civic Society, NGO and SME's Buying Group Some feedback: We started this project 3 months ago, because we ourselves as a civic organisation faced various challenges reaching a wide net of potential suppliers for the Adopt-a-Pothole program … we just didn’t have enough information about you as a “supplier”; neither did we have any relevant information on other potential suppliers for the project. We started by following the “traditional” procurement process, and… Continue

Carlos Valdecantos Why going green makes good business sense in telecom?

As explained in my previous post related to Green Telecom, energy consumption is one of the leading drivers of operating expenses for both fixed and mobile network operators. Reliable access to electricity is limited in many developing countries that are currently the high-growth markets for telecommunications. It’s been a long time until telecom’s carbon footprint has been a hot topic in the industry. Without preventive measures, it is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years reac… Continue

Carlos Valdecantos Will Dynamic discount tariffs succeed in Africa?

Reading today that Safaricom has launched a tariff that is expected to renew price wars in Kenya (something more than often and common in the industry), I would like to share our experience in value propositions definition around dynamic discount tariffing. As explained before in our previous post related to what operators are doing with their excess of capacity, Safaricom has launched a tariff to allow its subscribers to have special discounts based on time of calling and location. This offer… Continue

Carlos Valdecantos Pricing optimization in Africa: the challenge!

I’ve just come from the middle east, visiting different markets where we’ve seen huge pricing competition battles among operators. One of my clients requested my point of view on pricing and how to fight in such a pricing war. Here it is. Few levers have as much power to influence profitability as pricing does. For a typical company, a 1 percent increase in price boosts profits two to three times as much as a 1 percent increase in sales volume. Mobile operators have to improve both pricing stra… Continue

Tom Purcell VoIP Is Here, It's Happening And It's The Future Of Business Telephony

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is not new, but little is known about it in South Africa, away from chief technology officers of large corporates and the value added network service (VANS) providers. Yet, here is a technology that, in very challenging economic times, can really add to the bottom line, either by way of straight overhead reduction or by giving businesses the opportunity to make more sales and prospecting calls for the budget that's already been agreed and set. So, where to s… Continue

W. B. Gotzinger hoodia

Hoodia supplements are pretty much everywhere, like stores and magazines, but the number one place for marketing and buying hoodia supplements is online. One of the reasons for this is that hoodia supplements do not require a prescription and have very little controls surrounding them. This has both upsides and downsides. Among the downsides is the fact that there are many hoodia supplements bei
