Vodafone strikes partnership to provide even better experience for businesses

Vodafone has entered into a partnership with Quantexa, a decision intelligence technology provider, in a first for the UK telecoms industry.

Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence (DI) Platform, deployed on Vodafone’s new Google Cloud environment, will help Vodafone unite and use data from their systems to create a better understanding of business customers. The platform will provide a single view of all the interactions a customer has with Vodafone and the products and services they have bought. It will help Vodafone’s customer teams to engage with businesses in a timely and effective way.

The partnership builds on Vodafone’s existing relationship with Quantexa who joined Tomorrow Street – a joint-venture between Vodafone and the Luxembourg Government that links scale-ups, corporate partners, and Vodafone teams to accelerate the use of leading-edge technology and grow new business opportunities. The new platform will initially focus on small-to-medium business customers before extending to include small office/home office and large business customers over the coming months.

“As a technology communications company, we recognise the importance of working with innovative companies in emerging technology categories, like Quantexa. Vodafone’s Tomorrow Street initiative to identify and accelerate innovation is an exciting programme that we are delighted to work with.”
