Via its Customer Experience Excellence Programme, Vodafone Egypt aims to deliver a range of tailored, bespoke services to its 40 million customers. Thanks to its partnership with Red Hat, Vodafone Egypt has been able to dramatically improve its time to market with a range of new products and services.  

"By rebuilding its customer service portal with Red Hat’s container-based and hybrid cloud technologies, Vodafone Egypt can embrace an agile, DevOps-powered approach designed to more flexibly launch and manage services. We’re happy to support the company on its path to enhancing customer experiences as part of its broader group-wide CXX strategy," said Santiago Madruga, vice president, EMEA Telco & ICT Vertical at Red Hat.

Terough its collaboration with Red Hat, Vodafone Egypt has been able to launch a host of products and services at scale. Vodafone Egypt's operations team built its applications with microservices architecture and adopted a range of DevOps practices to help it iterate faster and more often. It also decided to containerise its applications, in order to abstract them from the underlying architecture, helping to decrease complexity and improve portability across the company’s IT footprints, including hybrid cloud environments.
