Origen / Work / MTN № 06 Telco · 2023 — 2025

A long-running
partnership with
Africa’s largest telco.

02.1 / Brief

We’ve been working with MTN across multiple initiatives over the years — strategy, design, and web build for the kinds of internal and partner-facing platforms that have to keep working long after the launch deck. The Xlerator supplier-development programme is one strand of that.

§ 02 The brief Why we were brought in

Reliable technical support and digital infrastructure to help an enterprise of MTN’s scale execute its strategic initiatives.

MTN is the largest telecommunications provider on the continent, and the work we do with them spans more than one team and more than one initiative. Some of it is the visible product layer; some of it is the quieter platform work that keeps a programme running.

The Xlerator programme is the most public strand — an inclusive supplier-development initiative built around long-term, value-driven supply chains. We support the digital surface and the underlying tooling that makes the programme work for the people inside it.

§ 03 What we did Four disciplines
Product strategy

Sitting in on early scoping sessions, sharpening initiative briefs into shippable plans.

Product design

UX and UI for enterprise tooling that has to read clearly to teams across markets.

Web design

Visual systems and pages that hold up across the brand’s many touchpoints.

Web development

Production builds, ongoing iteration, and the unglamorous fixes that keep things moving.

§ 04 Outcomes What it’s become

What started as a single project has become a long-running partnership. That’s the bar we hold ourselves to: ship something good enough that the next brief comes back to the same team. Years on, it still does.

“A longstanding collaboration with the country’s biggest telecommunications provider.”
