Airtel deploys Oracle Cloud to streamline Supply chain

Bharti Airtel will utilize supply chain and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions from Oracle for its finance, supply chain, and planning processes.

Airtel as of now operates in 17 countries across the globe, concentrated in the areas of Africa and South Asia. It offers services such as 4G/4.5G broadband, streaming services, and fiber broadband. Its enterprise service wing offers data and cloud data center services, advertising technology, cybersecurity, IoT, and cloud-based communications.

Bharti Airtel CIO Pradipt Kapoor said, "This is a key deployment as part of our journey to fully transition to cloud-based applications as we build a digital Airtel. We are obsessed with providing the best customer experience. We are investing in transforming our internal operating models so that employees and partners can work effectively for better customer engagement and service. Airtel and Oracle have had a very successful and long-standing partnership across a wide range of areas. We are delighted to expand this partnership to leverage Oracle's advanced technology and deep experience to enhance operational efficiencies across some of our key business processes."

Shailender Kumar, senior vice president, and regional managing director of Oracle India said, "At Oracle, we are committed to helping every customer navigate market challenges, stay ahead of the curve in innovation, and adapt digital strategies to future-proof their business. With Oracle Cloud Applications, Airtel will be able to leverage the latest technology and innovation to meet shifting customer expectations and revamp its business operations. We're proud to be a partner with Airtel and look forward to supporting their next phase of growth."

Airtel will utilize the Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprises Resource Planning and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Management (SCM) solution to automate manual processes and get a 360-degree view of its financial data.

Oracle's ERP solution deployment will also help to streamline procurement, along with more effective and efficient management of Airtel’s supply chain.
