SLA Mobile, a global mobile solutions provider, will be in attendance for the third year running at Zain’s annual Technology Conference (ZTC) as one of Zain’s leading solution providers.
Zain Group, a mobile telecommunications company present in eight markets across the Middle East and Africa, will host the annual conference this week in Bahrain from 30th November to 2nd December under the theme ‘Transforming Our World’, reflecting Zain’s strategic aspirations of delivering a compelling digital lifestyle to its customers.

SLA Mobile is Zain’s official Direct Operator Billing service partner and has been continuing to rolling out the digital service across Zain’s operating companies over the past year. Direct Operator Billing allows Zain subscribers to pay for digital goods and services by charging the transaction to their monthly phone bill or by deducting the amount from their pre-paid credit.
SLA Mobile’s portfolio of digital services puts the customer at the centre of the business and provides new revenue streams for both mobile operators and partners. SLA Mobile will be showcasing their Customer Centric Identity solution at the conference this year which is a form of Identity Access Management giving mobile operators the ability to build unique customer profiles and personalise customer engagement.
Nic Stirk, CEO of SLA Mobile commented,
“We are looking forward to participating at Zain’s Technology Conference for the third year running. We have continued to work with Zain over the past year to roll out Direct Operator Billing across all operating companies and this year we will be showcasing another digital service solution, Customer Centric Identity which will help Zain gain insights into their customer’s behaviour and allow them to improve their customer’s experience.”

Our sector is an exciting, vibrant, evolving, complex one, and now, more than at any time in the past it is important for there to be a large degree of information exchange and transparency in our industry.”
