At the signing ceremony, Jaffa Sany Ariffin, Chief Executive Officer of U Mobile highlighted a few things. The core challenge of service provider under saturated market condition is to maintain existing market share by reducing churn rate and to strive for 5 years growth rate between 10% to 20%. Implementing analytics solution will help to allow them to profile customers in order to identify behaviours, patterns and market trends. Having empowered with such capability, U Mobile is expected to provide better delivery to customers.

With regards to latest updates, U Mobile had just recently completed collaboration with Maxis for northern territory coverage and is excited about the incoming LTE (4G) trend.
