“3 Vision” – Objectives and Achievements PART 1 What is 3Vision?
What was it meant to accomplish?
“3Vision” – post acquisition reality…
“3Vision”, Three Ireland’s digital transformation initiative was
about creating brand loyalty and consistency through
digitalization, post-acquisition with Telefonica O2 Ireland. As
with any acquisition, the new entity was tasked with
consolidating:

trust…
1. Two brands, two unique customer bases 2. Two distinct business
models and management styles 3. Two IT estates, evolved over many
years 4. Two different cultures
“3Vision” – challenges …
Two separate entities with very different customer bases, disparate
systems, different network stacks and very different customer
experiences!
O2 BSS had a strong emphasis on corporate solutions whereas Three
BSS was predominantly consumer focused!
- Rebrand was successfully implemented, disappearance of the O2
brand from the Irish market.2015
2016 - 3Vision programme commenced following extensive RFP
process

more personalized services to the now enhanced customer base…
Improve customer experience, through improved self-care and
agent-facing applications as well as innovative customer analytics
and AI capabilities2
Create a foundation to realise the benefits of existing and future
revenue streams (5G, IoT, partner offers, charge to account)3
Reduce the overall operating costs of the IT estate by simplifying
the systems in use, and by providing reduced time to market4
Consolidate the customer bases onto a single stack 1

3Vision – Key Phases
3Vision – Governance …
Role of Change Control Board was key in evaluating all Impact
Assessments and the cost/benefit of proposed changes
Integration layer was key in minimising the overall change
impacts
Very large project team involved across program1
Multiple streams of work across cross functional domains2
Strong governance was needed3

integration services delivered to Three Ireland. Torry Harris built
the integration backbone, enabling Three to provide a seamless
front-end experience, while changes happened in the back-end.

stakeholders for a solution that supports the “Beyond Mobile”
principle
• SOA/API Governance inline with TMForum Open API standards for
consistency, predictability and service quality
• Expose REST APIs to 3rd parties securely through the Torry Harris
API Gateway
• Partner product innovation made possible through APIs, enabling
monetisation

migration
Torry Harris – Support through the phases
Careful design of API’s to support multiple phases of change with
modernisation of complex services delivered
