Netcracker Technology announced today that Vivo, the Brazilian subsidiary of Telefónica Group, has taken the next step in automating its B2B digital transformation program by implementing service order management and professional services ? including testing, migration and implementation ? to improve customer experience and simplify its order processing system.
