In 2021, Ofcom unveiled the One Touch Switch (OTS) regulations, designed to streamline the transition for customers switching their fixed voice and broadband service providers. Under the OTS framework, comms providers (CPs) are required to participate in the OTS industry process by exchanging switching messages via the TOTSCo industry Hub messaging platform.
This integration involves a sophisticated system of APIs and security protocols, ensuring seamless communication between providers and the Hub. It includes bidirectional data flow, with providers sending requests to the Hub and receiving service requests from it, all backed by stringent performance assurances.
The deadline for implementing these changes passed on the 12th September 2024.
If you sell residential fixed voice and/or broadband services in the UK, even as a reseller, and you own the relationship with the end user/customer, you must comply with One Touch Switch. This includes everyone from ISPs, Community Broadband Initiatives, to resellers.
Zentive have been involved with One Touch Switch from the beginning, providing technical expertise to the design process and is an official TOTSCo Managed Access Provider (MAP).
We used our advanced knowledge of the OTS process to develop SureSwitch, the only standalone, modular OTS solution for any CP or Reseller, regardless of size or existing infrastructure.
Ensuring your business is One Touch Switch compliant couldn’t be easier, and with a range of additional features, SureSwitch not only assures you’re compliant, but it’s also a powerful tool for streamlining your sales journey.
Although the TOTSCo Hub has been live since 12th September 2024, there’s still a lot of work to do to ensure every provider is a part of OTS. We can have you up and running on the TOTSCo Hub in as little as a few days.
