    Open is a strategic ally

    Oct 11, 2021
    We are very satisfied with having selected Open. Their team is always committed to resolving any issue that we may have. Throughout the process, we have upgraded to newer product versions that they provide, and we plan to move up to the latest product version as soon as we can. We have a trusted relationship with Open in which we feel free to expose any situation that arises in the operation. We know that they will listen to us and try to solve it as soon as possible. Smartflex allowed us to enter new lines of business, internet and television, with two main benefits; it saved us the costs of contracting, implementing and maintaining another CIS and we were able to manage several types of services in a single system and offer our customers a unified experience, regardless of the number and type of services they have contracted. The experience acquired during this type of project with a company like Open has allowed us to strengthen our organizational capacity for the execution of projects with planning, strategy, and compliance.

    Our experience has been very satisfactory, both with the product and with the Open team. Open's personnel is always ready to help and their attention to our requirements is always timely. Our close relationship with Open also allows us to have communication with all different areas of the company, facilitating our operation and providing solutions to our business needs. Additionally, it has a continuous update model which allows us to enjoy functional and technical improvements with very little time and effort. This differs from the typical updates that are offered in the market which are disruptive to our operations.
