HANSEN INNOVATION MODEL.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL APPROACH DELIVERS INNOVATION
ACQUIRE
INVEST
BUILD
-
A cornerstone of Hansen’s corporate strategy is to acquire innovative products.
-
Create synergies through integration of best of breed solutions into our existing and new customers.
-
Opens new markets with commercialized innovative products.
-
A prime consideration in our evaluation of a business or product-line is the state of the product, tech-stack, R&D practices, and investment history.
-
Robust, customer and industry driven R&D program per product.
-
Identify common themes that could lead to knowledge sharing and synergy across product groups.
-
10% of revenue reinvested – variable by product line in any given year. ROI factored into assessment of relative merits of proposed investments.
-
Investigate adjacencies: by ecosystem; by product; by territories; and by market
-
Products : extending products (e.g., flexible mobile app for self care, remote workforce, sales agents etc.)
-
Processes: improve the way things are done and spread learning among delivery groups.
-
Technologies : keeping technology stacks current as well as capitalizing on new technologies e.g. Utilizing cloud technologies across the existing product suite.
-
Solutions : identifying innovative use of existing capability (e.g., connected car)

FROM MONOLITH TO (MICRO)SERVICES: LEVERAGING CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES.
Billing and Customer-Care solutions evolved over decades to satisfy all the requirements of the organizations they served:
-
Complex and wide-ranging solutions that try to be all things to all people.
-
Serving multiple different groups of users with different job functions.
-
Scaling up generally requires expensive hardware & 3rd party software .
-
Options to mix and match systems are limited.
Large systems like this have acquired the name “Monoliths”.
A more recent design pattern is to decompose monolithic systems into a loosely coupled set of distributed services that interoperate with each other but can be scaled and managed independently.
These architectures are known as Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).
Services:
-
Contain and manage own data.
-
Can be updated independently.
-
Communicate with each other through API’s.
-
Can be scaled by adding more into the pool.
Microservices are a more fine-grained evolution of the SOA concept usually built using cloud-native technologies.
==> picture [147 x 345] intentionally omitted <==
Hansen is investing in knowhow, technology, and processes that will provide our clients with access to the best of what the cloud has to offer without the pain of system replacement.

HANSEN AS A DIGITAL SERVICE PROVIDER.
AS MORE DIGITAL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD, THERE ARE GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR SYNERGISTIC BUNDLING .
Overview
-
CableTV companies and Telco’s have proven that the “triple-play” bundle (TV, internet, VOIP) reduces customer churn. Later (in 2010’s) mobile telephony was added to the mix, with further benefits for subscriber retention.
-
As an ever-widening array of digital products are brought to market, there are good opportunities for synergistic bundling providing back-office solutions can support them.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT.
A HEIGHTENED FOCUS ON THE OMNICHANNEL EXPERIENCE IS KEY TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR ALL CLIENTS.
Hansen has an ongoing program of customer experience improvement initiatives on many product lines:
- Streamline dashboards and workflows.
UX upgrades
-
Leverage latest technologies.
-
Allow customization and extension of the UI through SDK’s.
-
As consumers and households increasingly shift towards being “digitally native”, focus shifts from call-centre to self-service:
Self-service apps and portals
-
A personalized omni-channel experience is key to customer engagement and retention - all of Hansen’s product lines are evolving an increasingly powerful set of RESTful APIs to interface with multiple external channels.
-
Hansen provides white-label websites and apps for many of our smaller Utility/Muni clients in various markets.
-
Last year Hansen developed a universal Framework for use in all our mobile self-care and business apps going forward: • A single code base for Android and IOS apps.
Mobile first
-
Best of breed design patterns with integrated security, authentication, testing, crashlytics…etc .
-
Targeted at business apps (field service personnel, inventory testing) as well as our consumer facing apps going forward.
-
In FY22 we will be refreshing consumer facing self-care apps that interoperate with several of our products.

THE DATA TSUNAMI: LESSONS FROM THE NORDIC REGION.
HIGH SMARTMETERPENETRATION AND DEREGULATED ENERGY MARKETS ARE CREATING CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES.
==> picture [138 x 177] intentionally omitted <==
-
With smart meter penetration near ~100% in Finland and Norway, our customers are having to cope with a deluge of usage data necessitating upgrade to systems and storage.
-
Exchange of all this information is complex which has prompted regulators to mandate centralized (regulated) datahubs through which all participants must communicate.
-
Standardized SLA’s for smartmeter data VEE, submission and retrieval.
-
Force a cleaner separation between market participants (DSOs, retailers).
Consequences
- Launch of Norwegian “elHub” in 2019 lead to a wave of consolidation, particularly in the DSO segment.
Distributors, Retailers & Datahubs
-
Finland launches their datahub in Feb 2022. (Swehub plans are under review).
-
➢ CIS: Hansen is leveraging Norwegian “Elhub” experience to increase market share in Finland.
Smartgrids and datahubs have generated further opportunities for Hansen - we have launched 3 new cloud-native products

ENABLING 5G INNOVATION: THE B2B OPPORTUNITY.
WHILST 5G WILL OFFER CONSUMERS EVEN FASTER NETWORKS , CSP’S SEE RETURN ON INVESTMENT COMING FROM THE B2B MARKET.
Fundamental to 5G networks is the ability to create “network slices” for industries, partners and institutions such as Smartcities, healthcare providers, transportation fleets, manufacturers, retail chains, gaming communities, etc.:
-
In which specific parameters like QoS, speed, latency and device density can be fine-tuned, measured and guaranteed.
-
And operated on a network comprised of software functions rather than dedicated switches and hardware. This allows the addition of new functions that can scaled with the same ease as public cloud providers can offer – so-called Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
-
Which facilitates bundling of a new set of value-added services from partners e.g., a VPN for a multi-site business.
==> picture [388 x 196] intentionally omitted <==
- A flexible way to describe, price, bundle and discount services is key to success – hence Hansen’s Create Deliver Engage Suite.
Roadmap initiatives
Diagram from viavisolutions.com
-
Enterprise quotes & New use cases and functional capability are being added to CPQ and Order Management to enable functions like tiered and threshold pricing; partial orders order submission; entity level PONR; ability to manage linked entities; enhancements to pricing and discounting; price and product guarantees, etc. • Large orders from large enterprise customers place special demands on all components in the suite – for example capturing data necessary to provide
-
Bulk/large orders 10,000 Site VPN networks. Many aspects of UI and API functionality are being improved: user journeys; searching within orders; bulk data upload.
Framework contracts
- Providing B2B and Large Enterprise customers the ability to negotiate umbrella pricing and product variations for enterprise customers. Framework agreements subsequently utilized within all further Quote and Order processes
Better performance
- Larger quotes and larger orders create special data loads on existing API’s and the underlying services that support them. Mechanisms are being defined to optimize communication of large files and streamline information flow so that customer facing processes are remain quick and reliable.

ENABLING NEW RETAIL EXPERIENCES: THE INTERNET OF THINGS.
THE PROLIFERATION OF APPLICATIONS FOR CONNECTED DEVICES PRESENTSCHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CSP’S.
The cellular IoT market was valued at $1.15 billion in 2017 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate of 26.7% through 2026**.
Whilst key verticals like the automotive industry are serviced by dedicated teams, a key issue for CSP’s is how to enable small businesses to prototype, trial and launch new services, and then manage their accounts going forward.
-
There needs to be way to discover, order, and enable sensors, devices, services and rate plans.
-
The order process must be integrated into common CRM platforms such as Salesforce and Dynamics CRM, as well as standalone frameworks that can be integrated into the order path and technical ecosystem of existing retail sites.
-
A record of customer orders, state of fulfillment and contract terms must be provided.
-
Analytics must be integrated seamlessly with rated usage to enable reconciliation processes.
-
Which need to shared through Partner Portals.
Hansen is updating and extending capability to accommodate these requirements.
Examples

Large US Carrier
- Functionality that serves one of the USA’s largest networks to offer a partner portal to the SME market
US Fibre Network
- A retail front end for the signup and sale of broadband fiber to homes and SME’s in the USA.
