“Openet has a long history in Japan. We’ve supplied policy and charging solutions to several of the leading service providers. However, the move to digital and the introduction of 5G will open up many new opportunities. We are making the investment in our Japanese operation to enable us to expand the range of solutions that we provide to our customers in Japan,” said Jason Buckalew, Openet’s RVP for APAC.

“We are seeing strong growth for our Digital Business Platform and fast approach to BSS transformation. The change in telecoms business models and a move away from old legacy approaches to BSS means that there is a significant opportunity for Openet in Japan,” he continued.

Takako Matsutomi, Country Manager, Openet Japan, said: “Openet has some great solutions that can help service providers in Japan fast track their digital transformation and get ready for 5G. I am delighted to join Openet and lead the company’s growth in Japan.”
