Competition at&nbsp;the \u04122\u0412 market more than ever transfers to&nbsp;the segment of&nbsp;digital business solutions, which help corporate clients of&nbsp;mobile operators to&nbsp;be&nbsp;in&nbsp;progress in&nbsp;constantly changing conditions and make a&nbsp;profit of&nbsp;this. Arti Ots, Chief Executive Officer of&nbsp;the Kcell JSC, gave a&nbsp;such opinion at&nbsp;the round table&nbsp;\u2014 Digital transformation of&nbsp;Kazakhstan business, which took place in&nbsp;Almaty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top Managers of&nbsp;the largest Kazakhstan and international companies took part in&nbsp;the event, arranged by&nbsp;the Kcell company. Mikhail Lomtadze, \u0421\u0415\u041e of&nbsp;the Kaspi Bank, Chamindra Lenava, Vice President on&nbsp;IT&amp;eBusiness of&nbsp;the Air Astana, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;Zoren Grabovski, Managing Partner of&nbsp;the A.T. Kearney International Consulting Agency, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;Vadim Lyu, Director on&nbsp;Business Market Development of&nbsp;the Kcell, shared with their vision and practical cases about that, how the digital decisions and technologies help large business to&nbsp;meet the challenges of&nbsp;the 4th industrial revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abThe 4th industrial revolution (4IR) is&nbsp;a&nbsp;transfer in&nbsp;a&nbsp;global scale to&nbsp;the absolutely new ecosystem, which is&nbsp;built on&nbsp;the basis of&nbsp;infrastructure of&nbsp;the fast developing digital technologies. The 4IR has impact on&nbsp;the ecosystem and all industrial sectors. Due to&nbsp;this, companies need in&nbsp;new business models for their coping with these changes and making the profit of&nbsp;transformation in&nbsp;value chain (logistics, production, interaction with clients, etc.), including expenses structure. Breakthrough changes in&nbsp;the production system will require from the companies to&nbsp;create new possibilities and build a&nbsp;new strategy. Therefore, it&nbsp;is&nbsp;necessary to&nbsp;stimulate technologies adoption and a&nbsp;new growing production system by&nbsp;governments, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;large business\u00bb, noted in&nbsp;his speech Zoren Grabovski, Managing Partner of&nbsp;the A.T. Kearney International Consulting Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenges, that will be&nbsp;met by&nbsp;Kazakhstan on&nbsp;the way of&nbsp;digital transformation in&nbsp;the 4IR period, the sense of&nbsp;which is&nbsp;the all-round and constant connection of&nbsp;people, machines and exchange of&nbsp;enormous aggregation of&nbsp;data in&nbsp;real time, were discussed at&nbsp;the round table. The main drivers are breakthrough digital technologies, which change the companies\u2019 business in&nbsp;absolutely different ways all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to&nbsp;opinion of&nbsp;Zoren Grabovski, digital technologies have already adopted actively enough by&nbsp;Kazakhstan companies in&nbsp;their business processes. Kazakhstan is&nbsp;even ahead of&nbsp;several European countries upon the separate parameters of&nbsp;digitalization. According to&nbsp;him, digital technologies development will lead to&nbsp;employment automation approximately by&nbsp;one third in&nbsp;such sectors, as&nbsp;telecommunication, banks, motor industry in&nbsp;the nearest five years. Those persons, who do&nbsp;not give thought to&nbsp;this now, have a&nbsp;risk to&nbsp;lose or&nbsp;seriously recede from a&nbsp;position in&nbsp;competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kcell company has already successfully performed internal transformation for several years for becoming a&nbsp;leading provider of&nbsp;the digital services and decisions at&nbsp;the telecommunication market of&nbsp;Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abWe&nbsp;are focusing on&nbsp;three directions. First of&nbsp;all, we&nbsp;build up&nbsp;such model of&nbsp;communication with mass market and business client segment, which is&nbsp;based on&nbsp;the approach&nbsp;\u2014 Digital First. We&nbsp;change internal processes in&nbsp;our company for quick making decisions, headed by&nbsp;clients\u2019 interests. One more task, related to&nbsp;the process reorganization, is&nbsp;reduction of&nbsp;time of&nbsp;products launch to&nbsp;the market, which shall be&nbsp;maximally digitalized and efficient. Due to&nbsp;this, in&nbsp;2017 our company intensively worked on&nbsp;simplification of&nbsp;product portfolio and automation of&nbsp;clients\u2019 processes. This allowed&nbsp;us achieving significant progress in&nbsp;implementation of&nbsp;the digital program transformation, aimed at&nbsp;increasing the efficiency and productivity of&nbsp;the company in&nbsp;all directions\u00bb, emphasized Arti Ots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, about 40&nbsp;thousand or&nbsp;60% of&nbsp;calls to&nbsp;the Kcell call-center have already processed by&nbsp;robots. Level of&nbsp;service via this channel has increased by&nbsp;40%, and solution of&nbsp;clients\u2019 questions from the first call is&nbsp;equal to&nbsp;50%. Moreover, the robots have already sold some products of&nbsp;the company. Volumes of&nbsp;such sales can be&nbsp;compared with the similar work of&nbsp;specialized division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abCurrently, for the Kcell business clients is&nbsp;an&nbsp;ICT partner, an&nbsp;expert in&nbsp;telecommunication and&nbsp;IT, that is&nbsp;why, the \u04122\u0412 segment applies to&nbsp;us for complicated and efficient decisions,&nbsp;\u2014 noted Vadim Lyu. \u2014&nbsp;Our philosophy in&nbsp;work with the business clients is&nbsp;based on&nbsp;the fact, that we&nbsp;do&nbsp;not just sell decisions to&nbsp;business, but actually help Kazakhstan companies to&nbsp;be&nbsp;more mobile and convenient for their own clients, whose loyalty will inevitably transform into the profit increasing. We&nbsp;plan to&nbsp;extend the product portfolio and have many experiments in&nbsp;our IoT laboratory, testing absolutely new products. The task is&nbsp;simple&nbsp;\u2014 to&nbsp;be&nbsp;maximally, as&nbsp;much as&nbsp;possible, accurate in&nbsp;understanding of&nbsp;our \u04122\u0412 clients\u2019 needs and more efficiently solve their tasks\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The part of&nbsp;IT and digital business decisions in&nbsp;the business products portfolio of&nbsp;the Kcell was equal to&nbsp;57&nbsp;per cents upon the results of&nbsp;the 4th quarter of&nbsp;2017. They include: Kcell Claud, IT&nbsp;infrastructure, product line of&nbsp;mobile marketing on&nbsp;the basis of&nbsp;the Big Data and decisions on&nbsp;the basis of&nbsp;the Internet of&nbsp;Things (IoT). This year the company continues to&nbsp;set the highest priority for digital services development. Launch of&nbsp;the platform for the SIM cards management, which will allow saving money and time for providers of&nbsp;the M2M&nbsp;services, will be&nbsp;conducted in&nbsp;the nearest time. Besides, the company plans to&nbsp;bring new decisions in&nbsp;the field of&nbsp;Internet of&nbsp;Things (IoT) to&nbsp;the market and significantly extend the service portfolio on&nbsp;the basis of&nbsp;the Big Data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global digitalization, related to&nbsp;the 4th industrial revolution (4IR), has changed business of&nbsp;telecommunication companies and their corporate clients all over the world.
