Telecoming expands African digital footprint

Telecoming has expanded its African operations with the launch of DCB Software South Africa, a new subsidiary aimed at strengthening the company’s presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile economy markets

The new Johannesburg-based operation will be headed by Javier de Corral, who will oversee business development activities, establish partnerships with telecom operators and build a dedicated local workforce.

The move follows Telecoming’s earlier expansion into Algeria through its subsidiary DCB Software Dzayer, further reinforcing the company’s footprint across the African market.

DCB Software South Africa will function as a regional hub focused on AI-powered digital services, supported by a fully local team. Its activities will cover the creation of digital products, mobile and web-based services, along with digital entertainment and marketplace solutions developed on scalable multi-device platforms designed to enhance user experience.

The subsidiary combines regional market expertise with direct connectivity to telecom operators, digital platforms and local payment ecosystems throughout South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The business will implement several monetisation strategies, including Direct Carrier Billing (DCB), to improve conversion performance and optimise digital service delivery.

“The launch of DCB Software South Africa marks a key milestone in our global expansion strategy,” said Cyrille Thivat. “We are very excited about the opportunities in South Africa and committed to investing in its digital future. With Javier de Corral at the helm, we are confident that this new subsidiary will not only drive our local growth but also contribute to the broader digital and AI ecosystem.”

Telecoming develops technologies aimed at improving user acquisition, simplifying payment systems and increasing the effectiveness of digital services. Its platforms combine monetisation, advertising and user experience tools while integrating artificial intelligence to deliver scalable, secure and efficient digital solutions.

The establishment of the South African subsidiary further strengthens Telecoming’s strategy to expand its international presence while supporting the growth of Africa’s digital economy through advanced technologies, local expertise and strategic industry partnerships.
