Short description
Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) has transitioned to its MTS Ocean digital ecosystem, which has given its internal cloud platform MTS Ocean a design capacity that will accelerate and unify the development of MTS cloud ecosystem products. The platform will provide more secure, reliable, and scalable components that will allow the company to respond more quickly to customer requests and boost business efficiency. By halving the time to bring new products to the market and reducing development and operating costs, MTS estimates the annual economic effect of operating the platform to be about RUB1bn ($13.8m) with capital costs of RUB700m.
MTS switched to the Ocean cloud platform
The digital ecosystem of MTS brought the internal cloud platform of MTS Ocean to the design capacity. The new platform will complement the #CloudMTS provider’s external commercial platform, accelerate and unify the development of MTS cloud ecosystem products, providing them with more secure, reliable and scalable components. Thanks to MTS Ocean, the company will be able to respond faster to customer requests and increase business efficiency.
The MTS Ocean platform is part of the general technological platform The Platform, which combines all end-to-end IT solutions of the MTS ecosystem. The company began the transition to these platforms in the fall of 2022. In addition to the Cloud Native environment for creating and operating internal technological services, MTS Ocean is a cloud platform for the development and testing of future MTS commercial products for the cloud provider #CloudMTS.
The transition to the MTS Ocean platform will make it possible to build the work of product teams more efficiently, reducing the costs of creating and operating the infrastructure due to receiving ready-made basic services on the platform. If it used to take about three weeks to allocate infrastructure, today this process takes no more than a minute. As a result, the total time to bring new products to the market and the cost of their development will be halved, and the annual economic effect of the operation of the platform will be about 1 billion rubles, with capital costs for its implementation in the amount of 700 million rubles.
“The MTS Ocean platform is aimed at providing safe, reliable and high-quality basic services and infrastructure. In addition to reducing costs, accelerating time to market and increasing efficiency, MTS Ocean provides a simplified transition to the Cloud Native strategy, which will open new opportunities for development to MTS. The services created on the Ocean platform have already proven their effectiveness in MTS product teams, they are coming to the market faster through the MTS cloud for commercial customers, including the largest retailers, banks and industrial companies,” commented Pavlo Voronin, First Vice President of Technology at MTS. .
Thanks to the platform, the united teams will be able to use a number of PaaS and IaaS+ services in self-service mode: databases, queue services, container and serverless technologies, other solutions that correspond to the strategy of MTS’ transition from a monolithic telecom architecture to the Cloud Native concept.
Today, MTS Ocean is actively used by its own digital teams, in particular in the Private Cloud format, and the process of migrating the company’s largest products to the platform is also underway. More than 300 MTS products already use MTS Ocean, and by the end of 2023 it is planned to integrate the platform into 80% of all the company’s products.
