Arab Advisors Group defines digitized services as those offered to the subscribers with minimal human interaction from the operator’s side and which the subscribers can do electronically on their own using their handsets, tablets, laptops, or personal computers

A new report, “Digitization of Cellular Operations Index” was released to Arab Advisors Group’s Telecoms Strategic Research Service subscribers on May 21, 2018.

The 49-page report, which contains 24 detailed exhibits, provides an analysis of the digital services and operations offered by the cellular operators in the MENA region to their subscribers.

These indicators can be categorized into four sub-indexes: Payment Index, Self-Services Index, e-shops Index, and Digital Brand Index.
