Can Caribbean Telcos overcome the challenges they are facing?

It's not a secret that the world is in the rapid evolution of digital innovation. From healthcare to hospitality, everything you touch, feel, and experience was, is, and will be impacted by technology. Consumers are becoming more demanding and expecting instant satisfaction. Faster, better, NOW is the name of the game.

These challenges are also impacting the Telecom industry .

Global Telcos
Telcos are facing several looming challenges in the form of network load and infrastructure optimization, effectively addressing subscriber grievances to reduce churn , and improve security for telecommunications. Increasing global connectivity, further fueled by the pandemic, presents numerous opportunities for telecom companies to reach more subscribers and offer innovative products and services. Telcos are investing globally millions of dollars every year to keep service on par with customer expectations and not lose ground to the competition; with migration to the cloud and 5G being some of the latest game changers to help combat the increasing number of connected devices.

Caribbean Telcos
While the rest of the big players in the international market are facing these challenges at larger scales, Caribbean telcos find themselves confronted with the same consumer challenges whilst faced with the unfavorable reality of the economy of scale.

Caribbean telcos struggle to implement effective digital sales and distribution channels as e-commerce offerings are often lagging behind, which makes the need for accelerated service delivery through digital channels a factor that has yet to be solved; not to mention that Governments and Central Banks are pushing towards a digital economy and promote the use of digital money.

This is the reality of Caribbean Telcos
