70% Of Digital Transformations Fail
Digital transformations often falter due to inadequate planning and oversight. Common pitfalls include data migration issues and miscommunications during the integration of various software systems. These challenges are particularly pronounced in telco digital transformations, where the complexity of managing multiple disparate vendors can lead to significant setbacks.
Getting it wrong leads to wasted man-hours and budget overruns, but the biggest loss is missing out on the promised benefits of the transformation—turning it into a massive waste of resources.
What if a digital transformation approach came from a team that's both a telco operator and a software provider? Our full-stack clean slate approach offers exactly that.
If your telco is considering a traditional 'inside-out' transformation, here are some common reasons digital transformations fail:
Having the right vision, alignment, and focus on people is crucial for telcos. Given the high stakes and potential losses of a failed digital transformation, partnering with an experienced team for an ‘outside-in’ transformation can be invaluable, reducing the risks associated with traditional ‘inside-out’ approaches.
Our ‘clean slate’ philosophy extends to both our planning and software approach.
When we start from a ‘clean slate,’ we prioritize your new telco brand's goals without being hindered by the issues of your legacy tech stack. This freedom allows us to create a future state that is more customer-centric, agile, and future-proof, ensuring your telco thrives in a rapidly evolving market.
At Circles, we’ve helped telco clients launch digital brands worldwide. The following has been tested and sharpened by real-world scenarios:
In terms of technology, the clean slate approach means migrating your data to a completely new software suite. This eliminates the need to deal with any legacy tech stack issues, and the new software stack comes with all the functionality that a telco brand would need.
This software is built to be customer-centric from the ground up, powered by our learnings from running Circles.life in Singapore and used by our partners like KDDI’s povo in Japan and e&’s onic in Pakistan. We cover more about what our software can do in the ‘full-stack section’ below.
Legacy telco software tends to be complex and clunky, with layers of individual software built upon the original business service (BSS) and operating system software (OSS).
Updates and changes are made to individual software requiring lots of integrations and communication - straining your tech team and increasing operating costs. These systems tend to be rigid and difficult to modify, with changes made through requests to each vendor. All this robs your telco of agility and adaptability to market changes.
Many of these issues can be solved by working with a vendor that offers a full software stack in one place. This can prevent long integration times and cross-wires when trying to integrate all these services across multiple vendors.
From running our software, Circles’ software stack includes the following non-exhaustive list:
Once the new platform is set up, telco customer data needs to be migrated from the old software. Service disruptions from failed migrations can cause customers to churn, losing telcos revenue. Proper risk mitigation strategies need to be implemented and executed.
Outside-in digital transformation partners can help data migration in the following ways:
We take our planning and testing seriously and have a more detailed data migration plan that we can discuss if you want to learn more about our approach.
With our experience running Circles.life in Singapore and Australia, our teams can help to guide you through the digital transformation of your telco brand.
We have 2 low-risk options when it comes to digitally transforming your telco brand:
Once these have been decided, we go through the following general steps with our clients:
Adopting a clean slate full-stack approach to digital transformation enables rapid transformation while seamlessly overcoming the challenges posed by legacy systems.
This overview highlights how our clean slate, full-stack approach effectively tackles planning, data migration, and software integration challenges, paving the way for a successful digital transformation.
Our experts are ready to share their insights and guide your teams through the process, helping to transform your telco into a techco.
Don't wait—to unlock the full potential of your digital transformation!

One of the most immediate and impactful uses of AI is in personalization. Telcos have long recognized that customer experience is more than just a differentiator—it’s central to loyalty and long-term success. AI enables telcos to create customer journeys that are tailored based on actual behavior and preferences.
