Domino’s hits 1M online orders in a week, 13% mobile



In a sign that the Web and mobile e-commerce are now meaningfully affecting even the most mundane parts of our lives, Domino’s Pizza said Dec. 8 that it received more than 1 million orders placed online in a week for the first time last week. In October, the company announced it had sold £1 million (about $1.5 million) in orders in a single day, 13% of which were placed via mobile devices.
Consumers say that the company’s mobile applications are well executed, including for the creation of custom pizza orders. If that user experience can be positive enough to drive more orders, with less labor time required for people taking phone calls about pizza orders, then mobile and web ordering sound like a win in both directions.
RCR Wireless reviewed the then-new Domino’s Android app for the U.K. and Republic of Ireland in June and said it was a big disappointment. It sounds like things have improved.
Those mobile orders are only able to be made of course if connectivity is consistently available and performs well. Ordering a pizza by mobile app while away from home is super convenient if it works but undoubtedly frustrating if it doesn’t. And as goes pizza, so go many other things.

Network Cloudification at a very high level is basically converting actual network functions(routers,firewall, Evolved Packet Core(EPC), IP Multimedia Subsystem(IMS),etc) into a software package and deploying them on a network cloud (public, private, hybrid,on premise) running using commercial IT servers. Having been part of the Telecom industry for more than 9yrs, I have been fortunate to work on legacy setup as well as Telco NFV & Cloud environment during this tenure with focus on Telco technologies & use cases like 4G LTE, Voice Over LTE (VoLTE), virtualized enterprise offerings and 5G lately. Starting in the industry back in 2011 I was introduced to the Legacy network se...

Network Transformation: TM Forum's Open API & Open Digital Architecture (ODA)

Network Transformation: TM Forum's Open API & Open Digital Architecture (ODA) Majority global operators have been on the journey towards network transformation / cloudification for only 4-5 yrs now and due to challenges and complexities involved with network virtualization and cloudification, relatively very less progress has been made. However the speed of transformation has caught pace globally in the last 2 yrs as most operators plan for implementing 5G in their networks. In order to ease the transition , many open source projects and industry associations have got created over the years with goal of easing virtualization journey for vendors & operators. One such industry association who has been leading the efforts for Digital Business Transformation has been TM Forum. 2 initiatives of TM Forum to ease network transformation include OpenAPIs & Open Digital Architecture(ODA).
