Challenges
Before Ubigi for Business, Eramet faced several structural constraints:
- Roaming driven cost structure: Nearly three-quarters of the company’s mobile bill was generated by data usage outside Europe.
- Inflexible existing operator: Managing international data through the incumbent provider restricted the ability to optimize costs beyond Europe.
- Fleet compatibility requirements: Many market alternatives offered only eSIM based solutions, while Eramet required both physical SIM and eSIM formats to cover its entire device base.
Faced with this situation, Eramet needed a dedicated solution for mobile data outside Europe, one that would reduce costs without increasing operational complexity.
Three-quarters of our mobile bill came from roaming. It was essential to find an alternative provider other than our legacy operator for mobile data management outside Europe.

Solution
- Trusted global telecom partner: As a brand of Transatel (NTT Group), Ubigi provided the reliability and international scale necessary for a seamless global deployment.
- Dual SIM and eSIM capability: Ubigi was the only provider capable of offering both physical SIM cards and eSIM profiles, ensuring 100% compatibility across the entire device fleet.
- France-based expertise: The proximity of technical and commercial teams in France—the headquarters of Transatel—was a decisive factor, ensuring a strong partnership during the selection process.
- Intuitive management portal: The platform provided a simple interface for easy administration and real-time visibility into mobile data usage
- Seamless deployment & change management: The rollout was executed efficiently, supported by comprehensive documentation that made the solution quick to implement for all employees.
During our consultation with different market providers, Ubigi quickly stood out. The fact that the company is a subsidiary of NTT Group, as well as the location of all technical and commercial teams in France, were particularly reassuring elements.

Results
- Significant cost differential outside Europe: In some regions, mobile data costs dropped from €1,300 per GB to €25 per GB using Ubigi.
- Restructured mobile plans across the organization: : Eramet transitioned from “worldwide” plans with its historical operator to Europe only plans, with roaming blocked beyond Europe.
- Up to 75% savings anticipated in the first year: Based on current projections, the company expects a substantial reduction in international roaming expenses.
- Smooth and well supported deployment: : The rollout was rapid and effective, supported by clear documentation and continuous guidance from Ubigi teams.
For certain zones, we went from a cost of €1,300 per GB to €25 per GB. On this basis, we anticipate savings of approximately 75% from the first year.
