Telecoms

How we help

From towers to tailored services

As the role of telcos evolves, success is no longer measured by signal strength alone. It’s about enabling a rich ecosystem of services built on top of robust infrastructure: packaged, integrated, and ready for consumption by increasingly demanding users. With decades of telecoms experience, BBD helps you modernise fast, cut through complexity, and scale digital services that deliver real value. From cloud transformation to intelligent omnichannel strategies, we build the flexible foundations needed for service-led, future-ready providers.

Solution Snapshot

What smart telecoms transformation looks like

See how leading telecoms combine smart engineering and cloud-ready architectures to move faster, reduce complexity and unlock new revenue opportunities.

Tired of juggling fragmented apps across regions? We helped a leading African telecoms provider launch a unified self-service app, supporting multiple markets from a single codebase. Built as a PWA with backend-for-frontend supergraph architecture, it’s optimised for low-end devices and ensures local compliance. The result? Lower maintenance overheads, faster time-to-market, and inclusive customer experiences shaped through collaborative UX workshops. Want to simplify and scale your customer touchpoints?

Still patching pipelines and firefighting outages? We reengineered a full CI/CD stack for a global telecoms provider, boosting security, resilience, and recovery speeds. Migrated to AWS, the platform now supports secure, scalable DevOps with dramatically reduced operational costs. Event-driven architecture using SQS/Lambda and durable tooling has enabled faster delivery and improved availability. Need an engineering environment that moves as fast as your business?

Tired of bottlenecks every time you need to update a banner? We implemented a scalable content management system to consolidate fragmented web touchpoints for a major telecoms brand. The CMS empowers non-technical teams to manage content, ensures UX compliance across digital properties, and accelerates content rollout using reusable components. The outcome? Stronger brand consistency, faster go-to-market, and a measurable drop in content-related support queries. Ready to take control of your content ecosystem?

Your ecommerce platform shouldn’t hold you back. To fix performance and usability issues, we rebuilt a telecoms provider’s retail site with a mobile-first, SEO-optimised architecture on AWS. The new cloud-native experience enables real-time content updates, improved customer journeys, and greater scalability. Plus, by using managed services and elastic infrastructure, we reduced total cost of ownership while improving agility. Looking to futureproof your digital storefront?
