Operational and Business Support System Market Drivers and Opportunities

Deployment of 5G

• The digital payments ecosystem has gained traction in recent years. The internet penetration and the rise in the usage of smartphones are some of the prominent factors fueling digital payments. The rise in online shopping and e-commerce sector has also increased in the pandemic, which has led to the growth of online financial transactions. According to the information by The World Bank in ‘Global Findex Database 2021’, about 40% of adults in the developing economies, excluding China, made a digital merchant payment by phone, card, or the internet, and over one-third of adults in developing economies paid a utility bill directly from an account. These transactions were made for the first time after the start of the pandemic.
• Thus, the growing number of online transactions generates the need to authenticate and secure payment processing. The rise in online transactions creates a huge number of complex databases of subscribers that need to be collected, processed, and analyzed. It creates complexity in the charging and billing for voice and data, creating customers’ invoices, payment processing, and collection of debt. Thus, to carry out efficient billing and transaction processes, the demand and adoption for operational and business support systems rise among the communication service providers. For example, in May 2021, CSG Systems International Inc. was selected by Namibia’s leading mobile operator, Mobile Telecommunications Ltd (MTC), to lead its business transformation efforts. CSG provides a comprehensive solution that includes real‐time charging, convergent billing, product catalog, and customer and revenue management to MTC. Thus, the rise in online transactions fuels the market growth.
