UN International Telecommunications and Information Society Day – Applauding the Power of Global Connectivity


Case Study

May 17 marks the United Nations’ International Telecommunications and Information Society Day, honoring the 160th anniversary of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Since 1865, the ITU has brought together governments, private‑sector innovators, and academia to drive cooperation in advancing global communications. From the early telegraph to today’s breakthroughs in AI and quantum technology, its mission has remained the same: to ensure that digital progress is inclusive, accessible, and equitable. 

Originally recognized by the United Nations in 1969 as International Telecommunications Day, the celebration was expanded in 2006 to reflect the Internet’s transformative role in shaping a connected and information‑driven society. 

At Trust Your Supplier (TYS), we share in this commitment to global connectivity. Our platform helps build a trusted, digital network of suppliers, empowering companies to streamline onboarding, unify data, automate compliance, and gain AI‑powered risk insights—all within a secure, interoperable system. This technology not only simplifies supplier management, it levels the playing field for organizations and suppliers across borders, supporting transparency, collaboration, and resilience in the global supply chain. 

Celebrating Award‑Winning Innovation with BT Sourced

In 2024, our collaboration with BT Sourced was honored with SIG’s Future of Sourcing Award for Innovation in Supplier Performance. Together, we: 

  • Delivered a 55% reduction in supplier onboarding time 
  • Cut the volume of supplier questionnaires by 65% 
  • Achieved an 85% supplier adoption rate 

These results reflect how our joint solution harnessed immutable, audit‑ready records and smart‑contract automation to drive real‑time transparency and efficiency across BT Sourced’s 2,500+ key suppliers . 

Read the full case study to see how this partnership is reshaping telecom supplier management. 

As we recognize the power of technology to bridge gaps and drive equity, we invite your organization to reflect: Are you using digital innovation to unlock the full potential of your supplier ecosystem?

Shyam’s journey has roots in a strong technical foundation, having developed SaaS solutions utilizing advanced technologies like blockchain across India, the UK, and the US. This diverse experience made him an ideal fit for Trust Your Supplier. In TYS’s early days, Shyam wore multiple hats—developer, tester, and deployment lead—working closely with early adopters to refine our Supplier Management Platform. He fondly recalls meeting with customers in the afternoon to gather feedback, implementing enhancements for their review by the next day, showcasing his commitment to continuous improvement. 

As he’s progressed to leading our Product Strategy, Shyam combines his technical expertise with a deep understanding of business challenges faced by procurement teams globally. His natural curiosity drives him to experiment, measure, and innovate, ensuring TYS remains at the forefront of supplier management solutions. 

Beyond his strategic role, Shyam is a dedicated mentor to our technical staff. He encourages team members to look beyond coding, fostering an understanding of the business issues their work addresses. This approach not only enhances the team’s problem-solving capabilities but also keeps TYS aligned with the evolving needs in the dynamic landscape of supplier management. 

Outside of work, Shyam enjoys gardening and following cricket.  His family, with 2 young children, keeps him busy and balances his professional commitments with a rich personal life. 

Shyam’s recognition with the NC TECH NEXT TECH Award is a testament to his dedication and the innovative spirit he brings to our organization. We congratulate Shyam on this well-deserved honor and look forward to his continued contributions to our success. 

The 2025 Class of Winners will be celebrated during a reception on May 14 at the Durham Convention Center and profiled in the June issue of Business North Carolina.
