With Jan on-board, I hope we [Openet] can continue to disrupt the industry and provide operators with an alternative approach to digital BSS."

Openet's message of changing the game is right. The industry needs to change and I look forward to working closely with Niall, and the whole Openet team, to continue to drive disruption through innovation and delivering value for customers and stakeholders."
