(BUSINESS WIRE)-- An ad hoc approach to IT outsourcing by many MENA telecom operators has led to results below expectations, according to a new study from Oliver Wyman, "Maximizing Value from IT Outsourcing.” Based on a survey of IT executives, the report reveals key areas for improvement and recommends adopting a more strategic approach to sourcing, vendor management, and quality assurance.

Indeed, executives rated satisfaction with each of these areas on average no higher than 6 on a 10-point scale.

DUBAI, UAE - Monday, June 10th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The telecom industry, governments and regulators need to move decisively to fiber in order to support future economic growth, states Arthur D. Little (ADL) in its new report, "National Fiber Strategies: National economic imperative or just another private industry task?”

These benefits do not come cheap, as the investment needed is vast. On th ... Read more »
