1. Tell us about your digital customer experience: When and why did digital customer experience become a focus and priority for your organization and what technology(ies) did you decide to implement to help you, and what problem(s) does it help solve?
MTN was faced with the challenge of handling increasing volumes of social media interactions via Facebook and Twitter and to respond effectively to the requests for customer service on their other support channels. We looked for the best way to achieve an innovative solution to our digital care.

2. What are the benefits of having an integrated community and social media management platform for your organization? How does it improve your strategy for digital customer engagement?
MTN believes that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life, hence as part of our BRIGHT Strategy, we aim to make our customers lives brighter, by "Providing the Best Customer Experience through various Digital Channels".

3. What are your digital results? Please provide your business outcomes and results because of your digital customer experience approach in quantifiable metrics (e.g. revenue, Net Promoter Score, cost savings, brand reputation).
