This move strengthens Qvantel’s ability to provide local Business Support Systems (BSS) expertise and managed services to Jazz, Pakistan’s leading telecom operator and Qvantel’s long-term client. Over 100 BSS professionals have been hired to work closely with Jazz, ensuring that Qvantel’s Digital BSS platform drives growth and delivers exceptional customer experiences to Jazz’s more than 73 million mobile subscribers.
