Case Study: Three UK reduces time-to-market from months to hours and cuts IT costs by 31% with TIBCO Software

Three UK revolutionizes the telecom market for over a decade leveraging TIBCO

Three UK is a disruptive UK mobile and broadband operator focused on rebuilding customer trust and emotionally connecting with users in an industry where fewer than 15% of customers trust their operator. To accelerate innovation and improve customer experience, Three went all-in on a cloud-first strategy with Microsoft Azure in 2016 and set out to modernize its IT landscape and service delivery.

Three implemented a TIBCO integration and streaming stack—including BusinessWorks, Messaging, Cloud Mashery, BusinessEvents, BPM, MDM, added Apache Kafka support, and is rolling out TIBCO Streaming for 3GPP—to deliver policy-based services across 3G/4G/5G. The move cut time-to-market from months to hours, targets a 31% reduction in IT costs, consolidates 350 on-premises apps into ~100 cloud services, and earned Three the TIBCO NOW London 2019 Visionary Award.
