Well, the IP for m-pesa was allegedly bought by IBM from Vodafone so I guess that's probably your answer... On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 5:26 PM, John Maina <mwasjunior@gmail.com> wrote:

The initial work of developing the product was given to a product and technology development company known as Sagentia. Development and second line support responsibilities were transferred to IBM in September of 2009, to where most of the original Sagentia team transferred.

Let me just asking, with all the talk of Safaricom being called the most innovative company, and the fact that they attract some very brilliant IT mind, couldn't they just develop and run this system? Big telecom like AT&T and Verizon and other develop and maintain their system, I don't see why Safaricom has to outsource. I know that buzz word nowadays it outsourcing, but something, especially things that involve money are better run in-house. Safaricom is being reduced to a consumer of technology and vendor of scratch-cards.

@Njoroge, No one dispute's what Safaricom's core business is. But you can never hope to grow to a be a company of global consequence if you stick comfortable to your 'core' business. Just to give you a few example I am sure you are familiar with: Apple's core business was making computers for consumer. And when they saw demand for portable music player and later phone, the innovated their way in to new markets and now those 'new' product lines comprise a larger percentage of their revenues that the original 'core' business. Nokia may have fallen in to hard time, and using them may sound not proper, but their core business once was making boots. And later they because the largest cell-phone manufacturer, albeit for a brief fleeting moment. Google's core business was search, that didn't stop them from working first on Chrome OS and later Android. There many examples of companies that have grown out of their core businesses to be market leaders in newer business lines. And very few have done it successfully through outsourcing everything. The core function of R&D and software development and services have remained with these companies. I am not saying Safaricom is not already a good telecom company, it is. But they have saturated the market with their 'core' business and any future growth will have t come from new products and technologies. And these can better be developed in-house. They can outsource non-critical tasks like logistics and warehousing.

Philip, No doubt that diversification is a brilliant strategy to survive. Very few operators own patents to technology. The technology in the telecom space is largely owned by equipment vendors. Safaricom diversified from Voice into data, but did not need to develop their own 3G/LTE technology to do that. They simply deployed that technology that has been developed by other people. In order to survive telecom companies need to leverage the different technologies available, and deliver these as products to the consumers. If there is a disruptive idea like mpesa, then this can be developed internally - or in collaboration with third parties. At one point though, it would probably be easier for the telco to license/buy that technology from a third party than continue developing it. Also note that nowadays, telecom vendors also have mobile money products that could possibly deliver same functionality as Mpesa or even more enhanced features.

Main issue hindering other telcos from competing effectively with MPESA is the agent network. Agents have to make money and this is through number of transactions. Even if they increase their customer base conversion from MPESA to the telcos money transfer solution is "HARD" (Read - Safcom monopoly) [?] On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 8:58 PM, Njoroge Tito <titonjoroge@gmail.com> wrote:

All I was saying is that the 'outsourcing' experiment has failed and even major companies are looking at doing a lot of manufacturing and development themselves. That way, you can control the quality and experience of your products and support them well. Here is an excerpt from US President Barack Obama's State of the Union address: "After shedding jobs for more than 10 years, our manufacturers have added about 500,000 jobs over the past three. Caterpillar is bringing jobs back from Japan. Ford is bringing jobs back from Mexico. After locating plants in other countries like China, Intel is opening its most advanced plant right here at home. *And this year, Apple will start making Macs in America again.*"

<disgress> Apple making Macs in America again? Now that is interesting! </disgress> On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 8:49 AM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

+1 to Phillip You can add Amazon to your list of companies that did not 'stick to their core business' i.e selling books! They ventured out and became giants among cloud service providers! Safaricom could have done the same with Mpesa and even licence other MNOs to use their platform - spin out Mpesa and let it be a company on it's own?

I also think as Kenyans we are to blame. We for far too long stuck to celebrating how huge MPESA was without challenging Safaricom to do more. I guess the success of one project more got on to their head more and they didn't feel the need to make it better. What is worse is instead of getting better, the product actually deteriorated, with major outages and just became unpleasant to use. In the end, people kept on using MPESA because they were 'trapped' and not because was easy or good to use. It is rather irritating when people keep on referring to the success story of MPESA. Move on. That was 7 years ago. Good didn't sit down and celebrate search for decades. Apple didn't marvel at the iPhone in 2007 and stopped innovating. IBM created Watson for the Jeopardy challenge and eventually use the supercomputer to solve complex health problem. Safaricom seems interested in the fees they now make from MPESA which they keep on hiking. If anything, with economies of scale, we expect to see lower prices.

I think the only reason we are sitting around waiting to see Safaricom's moves in the tech sector and declare another kenyan first is lack of imagination and lethargy on the competitors part. Yu,Orange,Airtel are all fighting and failing badly at hyping their individual mobile money offerings. They do not have the extensive agent network, marketing strength or international coverage and reputation to be taken seriously. M-Pesa has all this. The ecommerce space is largely ignored save for the efforts of the likes of Agosta Liko with his pesapal outfit. The 3 underdogs could team up and run a singe platform and consolidate their no.s. Get the online ecommerce community in the box and the likes of the google play store and related stores to accept payment directly from the platform. Talk nicely to Mastercard/visa maybe to associate mobile phone no.s with a credit/debit card no to ease mobile payments. Or attempt to build an African centric system. Otherwise will have to wait for Safaricom to include online integration forever. The technology is available. What is lacking is political/bureacratic/financial will. I am a Safaricom shareholder and would increase my holding if I could seeing as they are the only ones who seem to know what they are doing. The lack of meaningful progress that we have is purely due to the monopoly that Safaricom was allowed to have by fumbling competitors.
