Descriptive title for 50%+ of SOHO customers on business packages to drive value and Goal being supported SOHO: Vodafone Business Mobile Revenue
final Guidance docs increase NPS Growth
Vodafone Business Elvira Sevilla González
Group Lead:
Other contacts: Phase Continuation of existing activity
Vodafone Business Dedicated SOHO Mobile plans, offering Business-relevant value, drives additional ARPU and higher NPS. Our low penetration of Business Mobile
Group Context plans in SOHO (approximately 20% in EU4) presents an opportunity to grow SOHO revenue beyond the LRP. Ambition is to deliver 50%+ of SOHO
customers on business plans by FY24.
Dedicated business packages drives higher ARPU and NPS, hence this initiative creates additional revenue for mobile that would help markets to
Market Context
grow their market share. Achieving 50%+ ambition in EU-4 would deliver an incremental €231m in FY24.
Key enablers to achieve this ambition include: SOHO-specific value in connectivity plans, a portfolio of Business-relevant Digital Services, improved and
consistent Customer Value Management (CVM), and strengthened capabilities across Business in Retail and online channels
Proposition: Consistently offer dedicated Business plans for Mobile and complete the portfolio of digital services available through our AppDirect
Marketplace
Market Deliverables
required CVM: Manage all SOHO customers using Business CVM (whether on Business or Consumer plans), create a 360-degree CVM capability to have a
single view of all customer services, and focus on first moving customers to Business plans
Channel: Train and certify all shop agents (or dedicated Business agents) to sell B2B products and solutions, steer the retail organisation to drive
Business plan penetration through explicit targets and incentives, and build an end-to-end digital sales channel for SOHO to accelerate penetration of
the Business portfolio

Descriptive title for final Achieve 20%+ Fixed market share in SOHO and SME Goal being supported SOHO / SME: Vodafone Business Fixed Market
Guidance docs Share Growth
Vodafone Business Group Elvira Sevilla González
Lead:
Other contacts: Phase Continuation of existing activity
SOHO: The EU4 market size for SOHO Fixed connectivity is €2.6b, with our market share at only 12% for Fixed. Our experience over the last three years shows that
Cross-selling Fixed and Mobile connectivity drives improved NPS and churn. Low market share in fixed therefore present an opportunity to grow SOHO revenue
Vodafone Business Group beyond the LRP
Context
SME: The EU4 market size for SME Fixed data, and IP Voice (including UC) is respectively €2.0b, and €1.9b, with our market share at only 4-10% for Fixed data and
IP Voice. As in SOHO, Fixed-Mobile convergence is delivering proven benefits in terms of higher NPS, lower churn, and increased revenue per account. We
therefore have an opportunity to increase our Fixed market share in SME by both driving convergence
Market Context Achieving a fixed Broadband 20% market share in EU4 would generate €578m and €250m of incremental revenues in SOHO and SME respectively across the
forecast period (FY20-24), while also driving convergence improvements on ARPA and churn.

Commercial Guidance 20-21: Business Initiatives
In contrast with the SOHO and SME segments, we cannot protect our mobile business by encouraging convergence, as Corporate procurement
Vodafone Business
teams prefer to buy product-by-product. In addition to the consequent price pressure, we are also exposed to the continual risk of a shift to more
Group Context
extensive use of “Employee Liable” mobile connectivity, which is already in use in ~50% of Corporates.
Markets should protect Corporate Mobile business by deploying Managed Mobility and BYOD capabilities to address our customers’ requirements
Market Context to simplify the management of their mobile estate and, potentially, expand the use of Employee Liable mobility in their operations. Bundling of
DLM and EMM services with Corporate tariff plans delivers an incremental churn benefit of €105m in EU-4 over the forecast period.
Managed Mobility: Provide a standard offer, including Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), across our
Corporate customer bases, by reselling third-party solution(s). Execution of the Managed Mobility opportunity requires extensive standardisation of
propositions, platforms, and deal structures to allow for smooth and cost-efficient delivery (based on reselling third-party solutions).
Market Deliverables
BYOD: Assess the market opportunity and provide basic split bill capability to enable employers to implement basic BYOD. In addition, Where the IT
required
stacks allow provide employees on corporate billed solutions to access (and pay for) consumer benefits
Employee offers: Assess the market opportunity and leverage employee advantage programs via BYOD platform and offers for fixed and mobile,
on consumer and SOHO plans and align commissions with consumer team and create BYOD portal to increase the adoption.

A Mobile Private Network (MPN) is a segregated business mobile network in a local area (on the customer’s premises) that enables human/machine
communications via private/reserved mobile coverage with assured SLAs, high security, reliability and high speed / capacity/connection density. This
enables the business to run mission and business critical services with a guaranteed quality of service.
Mobile Private Networks (MPN) is a strategic priority and part of the wider 5G programme for Vodafone Business.
Vodafone Business Group
Part of the wider strategy of differentiation through our mobile network capability. Here we are providing connectivity and automation in locations
Context
where it was not possible before. Part of our overarching vision to help businesses transform the way they work though our Digital Workplace
proposition
MPN is a gateway proposition to other Vodafone products such as EMM, IoT Private Networks and Edge computing
MPN represents a significant growth opportunity & new revenue stream for Vodafone – the total market is estimated to be worth €3bn by FY24
MPN represents a significant growth opportunity & new revenue stream for Local OpCo markets.
Market Context
EU4 market estimated to be worth €670M by FY24
1.) Establish commercial interlock with Group on spectrum usage for MPN.
Agree cost model / pricing strategy for spectrum allocated to MPN customers.
2.) Launch the VF-Group product (for OpCo customers) in the OpCo market.
Localise the VF-Group product and GTM collateral (develop local proposition) in local language and with local content for local market, investing
appropriately in marketing support to create awareness and demand.
Note that this requires a process for allocating spectrum to business customers (for exclusive use) in localised areas.
Market Deliverables
In markets where customer opportunities need to be realised prior to group product availability any bespoke solution should be designed around the
required
group product blueprint including commercial frameworks.
3.) Enable the VF-Group product (for VGE customers) in the OpCo territory.
Accommodate MPN deployments for VGE customers in the OpCo territory.
Note that this requires a process for allocating spectrum to VGE customers (for exclusive use) in localised areas.
Initial Launch – MPN ‘standalone’ architecture (no integration with OpCo Core Network required) in UK and DE, growing to eight markets by FY23.
Future Release – MPN ‘hybrid’ architecture (integration with OpCo Core Network required) in eight markets by FY23.

MEC is one of the revenue growth opportunities within our broader 5G play, with the potential to generate revenues of c.€200-300m by FY25:
- Business: c.€200m from Dedicated MEC (Private Networks) & Distributed MEC (AR, Video Analytics)
- Consumer: €15-100m from Game price plans for lower latency Gaming via MEC
Vodafone Business We recommend starting our MEC journey by partnering with hyperscalers since they provide market access without the need to deploy our own
Group Context infrastructure or build our own ecosystem of developers and ISVs
With hyperscalers, we aim for a two-sided monetisation of MEC services, (1) offering low latency compute services direct to end customers and (2)
receiving a revenue share of any hyperscaler services sold from our MEC locations, while leveraging the provisioning of access to low-latency
MEC services as our control point
Agree commercial framework and contract with one or more hyperscalers to offer low latency computing services from our network
Build multi-edge application orchestration and management platform with IBM to differentiate Vodafone’s offer
Develop global / local research and insights to support strategic positioning and proof points for our unique value proposition
Leverage global and technical leadership in MEC to position Vodafone Business as the best partner for digital solutions that bring together
Vodafone Business intelligent connectivity with technology services
Group Deliverables Develop global market positioning and point of view, messaging frameworks, and thought leadership program to establish competitive
differentiation
Integrate MEC as a proof point for our differentiated digital solutions into global brand positioning and communications
Build central campaigns and materials that can be locally executed
Develop partner marketing program with joint plans and investments
A new ecosystem for edge computing is emerging. While cloud computing is the de-facto standard for developers and enterprises due to its
scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency, Edge computing augments cloud capabilities by processing data closer to the end device/user. Multi-
Market Context Access Edge Computing delivers both the agility and flexible cost models of public cloud with the low latency of on prem computing - allowing
Vodafone to deliver a premium cloud service to our customers. MEC will open up new use cases that were previously not possible or practical using
public cloud, such as video analytics, AR / VR, robotics and real time drone & UAV control and surveillance.
Support the refurbishment of Edge and Low Latency Technology Centres to the standard defined for hyperscaler compute requirements.
Ensure that Content Delivery contracts do not allow for compute to be run ‘over the top’ to protect the MEC revenue opportunity
Launch and generate revenue and pipeline for Vodafone’s low latency compute service in partnership with hyperscalers

KPI’s supporting the Cloud & Security LRP, Cirrus Business Case
initiative Improvement in brand perception of Vodafone Business as a TechCo
The Vodafone/IBM “Cirrus” venture launched in May 2019, introducing an alternative model to bring new cloud services to market. With access
to IBM’s leading portfolio we are no longer reliant on building cloud products within Vodafone and can launch new services to market in a
much faster and more agile manner. The first wave of new services was successfully launched on 1st May and the portfolio will continue to be
Vodafone Business Group updated on a quarterly basis to ensure our offer remains compelling and competitive. Driving sales of these new Cirrus services is now a key
Context priority.
There is also an opportunity to move beyond cloud and leverage IBM’s cybersecurity credentials. Given that most telco competitors have
already built well-established security services organisations, and M&A targets are scarce and expensive, partnering in this space has been
determined as the most appropriate strategy.
In-scope Cirrus markets (UK, Germany, Ireland, VGE) will be able to leverage all enhancements to the Group portfolio, based on local demand
and market dynamics. Simplification of local NPD processes may be required to adapt to the new Cirrus model and launch continual portfolio
Market Context updates. Now that a competitive cloud portfolio is in place, a focus on driving sales and revenue is required.
There is potential to expand the Cirrus portfolio to further markets (e.g. Italy, Spain, EU9), depending on local demand and investment.

Vodafone Business’ extensive mobility reach within the SME & SOHO segment provides a significant opportunity to up sell/cross sell cloud and
digital services.
Our approach is to offer a curated catalogue of cloud applications (e.g. Microsoft O365, Google G-Suite) and simple public cloud services (e.g.
Vodafone Business Group Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform), with the associated activation and support services that are essential for SME & SOHO buyers. This
Context approach is underpinned by a global digital marketplace platform (App Direct) which ensures ease of purchase and provides the ability to
bundle cloud with other Vodafone services.
A combined global/local approach is proving an effective combination; with a central approach to platform and global partnerships, combined
approach to portfolio and local approach to channel enablement.
Regularly update the marketplace platform with new services, including; further cloud applications, UC&C services, IoT Invent and MDM
Drive ongoing functional and CXX improvements to the marketplace platform, including; improved reporting capability and
enhancements to the customer facing storefront
Extend Centre of Excellence support (2nd line customer support, accessible by all markets) to cover a broader range of services
Vodafone Business Group Create the central ‘blueprint’ to integrate the marketplace platform into online channels, creating a fully automated click to buy approach
Deliverables
Implement simplified global contracting processes to support rapid onboarding of new application providers
Build central proposition and sales enablement material
Build central campaigns and materials that can be locally executed
Build global market positioning, messaging frameworks
• UK, Germany, Italy and Spain have all implemented the marketplace platform but are at different stages of execution in their Cloud for SME &
SOHO strategies. In general, growth momentum is strong (over 50% YoY), although from a relatively small base. While the focus to date has
been on enabling traditional channels to serve larger SME customers, the opportunity is now to scale by expanding to digital channels to serve
Market Context the volume SOHO segment.
There is also potential for smaller markets in the EU9, and Partner Markets, to leverage the marketplace platform and associated Group
materials, for which discussions are currently underway.
Leverage central content to build local propositions, combining relevant group & local applications, managed services and connectivity
offerings
Market Deliverables Required Leverage central material to enable local sales teams, while implementing alternative low-cost sales channels (e.g. Digital Sales)
Integrate the marketplace platform into local online channels
Simplify local NPD processes, in order to fully realise the benefits of the marketplace platform and deploy new services rapidly

The cybersecurity market is growing rapidly as a result of rising digital security concerns, regulatory pressure and high-profile cybersecurity
breaches. While the market for Large Enterprise & MNC is well established, with many SI’s and Telco’s delivering consulting and managed security
services at scale globally, the SME & SOHO segment is not well served by the major security players. There is an opportunity to launch a
disruptive cybersecurity play, including;
Vodafone Business Partnering with leading security organisations to deliver best in class cloud-based security products
Group Context
Using Vodafone customer & network data to differentiate and provide unique threat intelligence
Bundling incremental services, such as cyber-insurance, to provide an end-to-end solution
Leveraging the App Direct marketplace platform to achieve a rapid market launch, scale quickly and take a first mover advantage
- Cyber Ready Assessment: develop a tailored cyber risk assessment, score and protection recommendation tool to drive cyber
awareness within the SME & SOHO base
- Cybersecurity Products: develop SecureNet for Business to meet the basic cybersecurity needs of the small business, adding advanced
3rd Party security solutions and layered protection including device, email and cloud security
- Cyber Insurance: launch a Cyber Insurance proposition covering First & Third Party and Breach Response services
Vodafone Business - Business Accreditation Programme: develop a Cyber Essentials certification to help small businesses build credibility with customers,
Group Deliverables suppliers and investors
- Threat intelligence: investigate the integration of Vodafone data (Customer, Content, Context, Connectivity) to create a source of unique
threat intelligence that feeds SecureNet and device security
• By utilising the marketplace platform that is already deployed in the large EU markets, OpCos will be able to easily leverage the centrally-

Overview of the initiative – Replace the text in the boxes, detailing the main components and business requirements required to make the initiative a success
Unit cost savings per circuit/site ordered; ratio improvement in OpCo spend to 3rd party local access spend within Vodafone markets; SD-WAN bid
KPI’s supporting the
gross margin % improvement, SD-WAN OCR % improvement
initiative
Local Access Acceleration, the ability to connect customer sites using OpCo/3rd party network, has enabled avg. annualised cost savings of €4.6m
p.a. YTD
€3,553 per circuit attributed to use of low cost dedicated internet in 25 markets (including 8 OpCos (DE, ES, IT, UK, NL, IN, KY, ZA)
We can increase SD-WAN win rates by reducing Local Access network costs
Vodafone Business By connecting customer sites over Vodafone networks, average circuit costs reduce by 47% relative to buying from our competitors
Group Context Over 50% of SD-WAN circuits are provided over the Internet. Last year, Fixed Broadband was sourced from an aggregator ‘Expereo’ at an average
cost of €150 p/m.
Our FY20 roadmap focuses on enabling local market IP-VPN, 4G and High Speed Internet Access as well as automating key process steps to
reduce quote and delivery times.

Starting in Jan ‘20 with NL, 3G network shutdown will commence across EU markets with a target completion date of Dec ‘22.
Vodafone Business
Group Context ExCo agreed shutdown dates are: NL - Jan ’20; IT - Dec ’20; DE - Dec ’21; ES - Oct ’22; UK - Dec ’22; IE - Dec ’23. For the remaining EU markets, the
latest date for 3G shutdown in Dec ’22.
Vodafone Business
Best practice sharing from NL network shutdown in Jan 2020
Group Deliverables
The closure of 3G networks represents both a risk and an opportunity. There is risk to the timely closure of 3G networks if a coherent and
programmatic approach is not taken to moving Business customers onto an appropriate and alternative service. There is additional risk that users of
Market Context
3G services will suffer a significant degradation and/or loss of service resulting in reduced NPS/Increased churn. However, there is an opportunity to
upsell and retain existing customers reliant on 3G services through identification of use cases and development of targeted propositions.
Build plans to migrate customers onto appropriate alternatives using the following, suggested, categorisation:
3G Handsets: Analysis needs to be done per segment to understand the proportion of the base currently on 3G devices and define plans per
segment. 3G handsets should be put on stop sell. There needs to be a proactive offer to renew customers across all segments on 4G devices.
To aid prioritisation, rules should be created to:
1. identify users with very low data consumption that can exist on 2G networks
2. users with high usage that will be significantly impacted if not migrated
Price Plans: All price plans need to be 4G/5G ready and also VoLTE needs to be enabled.
Market Deliverables
required Mobile Broadband: laptops and tables on 3G. In many occasions there is no possibility to upgrade to 4G as laptop/tablet doesn’t include 4G
module. Analysis on base and usage needs to be made to understand the number of customers and devices at risk
IoT: IoT devices on 3G. In many instances there is no possibility to upgrade to 4G as device doesn’t include 4G modules. Analysis on base and
usage needs to be made to understand the number of customers and devices at risk. Refer to GT guidance and CAT-M rollout
3G Indoor solutions: Business customers with 3G indoor solutions will need to be upgraded to 4G if the macro 4G coverage is poor. This should be
linked to contract renewal
3G backup for fixed routers: these routers are used for GSM back up when fixed line breaks down. Some routers only include a 3G module,
therefore new routers need to be installed to enable us to continue providing the service to customer

Commercial Guidance 20-21: Business Initiatives
The KPIs for Digital Marketing are aligned with the overall Digital Business programme, based on revenue growth and cost reduction, and still under
ongoing alignment with sales and VBUs.
The initial approach is to focus on the following:
Revenue Growth
Improve marketing spend effectiveness - % digital marketing campaign budget optimised
KPI’s supporting the Increase Marketing driven TCV
initiative o % Leads to MQLs
o % MQLs to SAO
o % Win conversion
Implement Future Ready Advisor to substantiate the brand
Cost reduction
Improve operating efficiencies
Improve data & platform efficiency
Improved media spend efficiency and ROI
What is the Vodafone Business context?
As more organizations become better in applying data and analytics, accelerating our efforts to change the marketing mind-set and establish a data
driven marketing organisation is one of our main priorities. This shift will help us to drive revenue growth, develop customer loyalty, improve
operational efficiencies and maximise marketing investment.
While assessing our marketing capabilities, we identified four areas to focus on to achieve this marketing shift:
1. Best in class marketing tools under used and fragmented.
2. Lack of consistency in campaign planning process and management with no clear goals definitions and benchmarks.
3. Inadequate performance analytics not implemented end-to-end. Several reports post- campaign with no single view of campaign
performance and impact in the business.
4. Lack of data driven insights with infrequent reporting and data kept in silos, forcing us to still basing our decisions on hypothesis rather than
on real insights.
What is the Digital Marketing programme ambition?
The Digital Marketing ambition is to establish a common data-driven Marketing approach as an accelerator of new revenue streams & enabling
Vodafone Business smarter investment decisions across all markets while empowering Vodafone Business Marketers with “best-in-class” digital capabilities through use
Group Context of insight & automation.
The Digital Marketing strategy is aligned with the company’s digital ambition and focused mainly on four key strategic objectives:
Establish ROMI & revenue-driven marketing as core competencies
Leveraging existing tool investments to maximize value
Achieve ‘best-in-class’ marketing practices aligned with market’s needs
Improving marketing processes and operational model
To achieve this ambition we will be focusing on:
Partnering Marketing & Sales to align on standard metrics for success
Provide data & insights for marketing optimisation
Roll-out “best-in-class” digital campaign process
Rationalise capabilities around key marketing services
Creating more effective and impactful digital and content and personalised experience for our customers
FY20 was crucial to set up the foundation and core capabilities of the digital marketing strategy, FY20/21 will be focusing on reinforcing new ways of
working, enhance platforms & capabilities and roll out approach across markets. key deliverables within the Digital Marketing programme will be:
Campaign Optimisation:
Install & configure digital campaign tools to enable E2E tracking across all VGE and Group campaigns to scale ongoing marketing spend

Despite the different levels of digital marketing maturity across OpCos, most of the markets are facing/ have faced the same challenges that Group is
addressing with the Digital Marketing programme, such as, siloed processes and tools, inconsistent E2E campaign process, difficulty on having real
time insights to optimise campaign budget spend, different reports with no E2E visibility of campaign performance across different tactics and
channels, limited ability to prove marketing generated/ influenced TCV, and/ or unskilled digital marketing organisations.
Markets’ appetite to initiate, continue and/ or accelerate their own digital marketing journey was validated in FY19/20 and based on challenges
mentioned above, brings a clear opportunity for Group Marketing to provide, not only guidance and best practise sharing across markets, but specific
support on the following areas:
Market Context Commercial opportunity based on funnel health
E2E campaign process with new digital marketing capabilities (CST, Datorama)
Tools, platforms & infrastructure (website, marketing automation, DMP, webchat, Future Ready Advisor)
Insights, reporting & optimisation
Operational model
Lead management processes
Social media management, listening and employee advocacy tools
Digital experiences and thought leadership content
Markets are expected to play an active role in the digital marketing community led by Group, share knowledge and best practice, act as an open
forum to discuss challenges and opportunities, learn from more advanced markets as well as to optimise investments and drive consistency.
There is also a good opportunity for markets to benefit from scalability of platforms, especially for capabilities such as a world class website, Eloqua
marketing automation and Adobe Data Management Platform. These are available immediately and are cost efficient.
Market Deliverables
required Testing local campaigns with digital marketing approach and new tools (CST, Datorama.) would also help markets to understand the benefits of the
new ways of working, for them to have better visibility if this would be aligned with local ambition. VGE, UK and IE have already tested new digital
marketing campaign process and looking at embedding the approach locally.
Markets are also expected to engage with a common social media strategy, re-use content and share social channels to drive consistency across
Vodafone Business Brand. There will be a new social management tool available in Q2/2020.
