One of the key benefits of this integration has been the improved alignment of skills and resources within Vodafone . By bringing together procurement , roaming and voice services under a single function , the company is able to maximise the potential of its people . “ We now have the procurement operations team and the roaming and voice operations team all part of one function , which means we can better leverage that talent and that experience for overall benefit ,” explains Kenneth .
This consolidation has allowed it to offer a more cohesive approach to customer service and provide customers with a unified solution . “ Today we ’ ve got one joined-up unit that can better serve our customers , have one conversation and deliver a more streamlined service capability ,” he adds .
