SLA Mobile’s portfolio of digital services puts the customer at the centre of the business and provides new revenue streams for both mobile operators and partners. SLA Mobile will be showcasing their Customer Centric Identity solution at the conference this year which is a form of Identity Access Management giving mobile operators the ability to build unique customer profiles and personalise customer engagement.

We have continued to work with Zain over the past year to roll out Direct Operator Billing across all operating companies and this year we will be showcasing another digital service solution, Customer Centric Identity which will help Zain gain insights into their customer’s behaviour and allow them to improve their customer’s experience.”
