The Market
CSPs lag behind other verticals in rolling out comprehensive MCCM capabilities. The market
offers good growth opportunities for vendors. There are a small number of CSPs, mostly in
emerging markets, which will have 50 different real-time, multichannel campaigns — most are still
working with one or two campaigns.
Multi Channel Campaign Management Report 2017
Gartner Inc.
CSP – Communications Service Provider
MCCM – Multi Channel Campaign Management
In the telecom industry, emerging markets have faced tougher competition, making it necessary for them to be more
innovative with marketing initiatives
Developed telecoms markets seen as mature and ex-growth; always looking to increase ARPU to drive top line
Pelatro has developed proprietary technology which is end-to-end, robust, flexible and easy to use
Competitive positioning – chosen by Tier 1 Telcos to replace solutions from IBM, Oracle etc.
Pelatro’s strong position in emerging markets places the Company well to enter new geographies in the developed
markets

Robi Axiata – Case Study
Robi Axiata is the 2nd largest mobile operator in Bangladesh
Previous providers: UK company, Business Logic Systems (wholly owned by
NASDAQ listed Evolving Systems Inc.) could not meet Robi’s requirements.
FlyTxt replaced them through a conventional RFP, but could not implement
Robi resorted to a different process and invited various providers (IBM, SAS,
Intersec, Lumata, Pelatro and others) to demonstrate a set of use cases. This
process was repeated three times as the use cases became more complex and
some providers were shortlisted
Those on the final shortlist were thoroughly examined on a number of technical
aspects like product architecture, deployment architecture, scalability, high
availability, computing environment etc. and Pelatro was chosen for a Proof of
Concept (PoC) implementation
Upon successful completion of the PoC, Robi Axiata entered into a contract
with Pelatro and paid us the recurring licence fee for 25m subscribers
After a few months, Robi procured a licence for unlimited subscribers 11

Customer Reference
Campaign management is an area which needs tremendous flexibilities as new requirements and
new ideas keep on coming every day and Pelatro scores high from both technical and people
perspectives. mViva’s state of the art technology framework optimizes not only the infrastructure cost
with the use of Hadoop but also accelerates time to market, thanks to the compatibility with
virtualized environment. From a people perspective, Pelatro team has a comparatively better Telco
business understanding compared to other vendors we have worked with, namely in their ability to
come up with proactive recommendations to improve the business outputs. The tremendous rigor to
handle new requirements and the can-do mindset from top to bottom are to be praised. We
compliment Pelatro’s high spirited team who are always willing to go beyond limits to reach
excellence.
Supun Weerasinghe, Group CEO
Dialog Axiata Plc, Sri Lanka
In the past, telcos mainly focused on customer addition to achieve growth. Given the
penetration and competition, that strategy will not work anymore. This means telcos must focus
on customers quite extensively in order to mine them deeply. For that to be possible, telcos
must have deep understanding of each customer which can only be attained using big data
analytics and campaign management solution. Thus, now and in the years to come, campaign
management is a critical function that all telcos will stress upon and invest in as the key activity
for sustained growth. This is evident from the CLM teams that telcos are now setting up to work
exclusively in this critical area.

Customer Reference
Robi was looking for an end to end campaign management system with the capability of smart
profiling, segmentation, dynamic offer creation, intelligent communication, execution and campaign
performance analysis. Having all these under one platform was really challenging. The integration of
mViva in Robi Axiata was a very complex and difficult project due to the number of points of
integration, critical nature of the network elements, velocity of transactions, real time operation and
the extremely large volume of data involved. Pelatro excelled in this task due to their deep
knowledge of the domain and network thereby ensuring a smooth, efficient and successful
implementation. Pelatro has been welcoming our new requirements with great spirit. They are
always willing to go beyond the scope to excel in performance.
