One of our partners showed us a tender they were working on recently and one of the questions was,
“Do you have your own real-time SIM management portal or are you providing third-party access to the Networks’ portals?”
A very specific question born, I surmise, out of bitter experience. The project was for thousands of SIMs in physical security devices, 2.5 years into a 36-month term. The incumbent had not been invited to tender.
For redundancy, every device had two SIMs, one unlimited and one multi-network and the end user had found having to log on to two completely different web sites exasperating. They had different features, different CDR formats and not all the processes were automated, creating MAC delays, especially out of hours.
If that’s the experience of the end user, imagine the frustration of MSPs who want to sell all the networks to multiple end users.
Most suppliers will say they have a self-service portal but if they don’t have their own they are putting their partners at a significant disadvantage.
