#1662403: Webinar - How to fix the shortcomings of eSIM and make it mass-market-ready

Description:	Are you ready to unlock the full potential of eSIM? Despite its promise, eSIM adoption remains sluggish. While 36% of smartphones globally support eSIM, end-customers and telecom operators are still shy about using eSIM as their primary SIM solution, unless forced by Apple to do so. eSIM offers advantages to telecom operators, enterprises and consumers alike, but so far, only one business case is driving major adoption: cheaper international roaming for travellers. However, there are plenty of useful applications of eSIM that are still underutilized. So, what is holding back eSIM adoption, and what should CSPs and MVNOs do to make it a truly mass-market option? In truth, eSIM's lifecycle management is still suboptimal, and many implementations are still too cumbersome from a user's point of view. Orchestrating eSIM requires a deep understanding of all key systems involved in the lifecycle of a SIM card, including BSS/OSS integration, identity management, analytics, support for entitlement servers, and automation. Join Omdia and Amdocs and Thales to learn more about creating an eSIM proposition that works through the customer lifecycle and benefits end users and telecom operators. Attendees can expect to hear about: The state of the market Opportunities and challenges of implementing eSIM How do create a mass-market solution Inspiring case studies Speakers: Dario Talmesio, Research Director, Service Provider Strategy & Regulation, Omdia Dario is Omdia’s global research director for service provider strategy and service provider market regulation.

Description:

Are you ready to unlock the full potential of eSIM?

Despite its promise, eSIM adoption remains sluggish. While 36% of smartphones globally support eSIM, end-customers and telecom operators are still shy about using eSIM as their primary SIM solution, unless forced by Apple to do so.

eSIM offers advantages to telecom operators, enterprises and consumers alike, but so far, only one business case is driving major adoption: cheaper international roaming for travellers. However, there are plenty of useful applications of eSIM that are still underutilized.

So, what is holding back eSIM adoption, and what should CSPs and MVNOs do to make it a truly mass-market option? In truth, eSIM's lifecycle management is still suboptimal, and many implementations are still too cumbersome from a user's point of view. Orchestrating eSIM requires a deep understanding of all key systems involved in the lifecycle of a SIM card, including BSS/OSS integration, identity management, analytics, support for entitlement servers, and automation.

Join Omdia and Amdocs and Thales to learn more about creating an eSIM proposition that works through the customer lifecycle and benefits end users and telecom operators. Attendees can expect to hear about:

The state of the market
Opportunities and challenges of implementing eSIM
