Becoming cloud native for growth and flexibility
Join us on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm at the Studio Stage for an engaging session featuring industry experts moderated by Sasha Qadri, Host at TM Forum, and George Glass, CTO at TM Forum.
In this fireside chat, we will dive into the world of cloud partnerships and explore the advantages and disadvantages of private, public, and hybrid cloud solutions. Discover the importance of selecting the right cloud-native partners to support telcos on their journey to cloud-native architecture and beyond. Learn how to foster agility in partner relationships, driving collaboration with a business-first objective. Our guest speaker, Peter Leukert, Global CIO of Deutsche Telekom, will share insights on building effective and long-lasting cloud partnerships.
In the subsequent presentation, we will focus on designing telecom retail processes for modern cloud Business Support Systems (BSS) environments. Uncover the challenges involved in retail process design and how TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) and universal open API standards intersect across all layers of business processes, from development to deployment. Explore topics such as Point-of-Sale (POS) hardware management through a central abstraction layer and orchestrating operations and unifying data models for telecom processes that span multiple systems. Khaireel Mohamed, CTO of NTS Retail, and Peter Larnholt, CIO of du, will provide valuable insights from their experiences.
In another fireside chat, we will discuss the evolution of cloud-native operations and its effective implementation at scale. Understand why the adoption of virtualized and programmable telecom infrastructure is expected to increase due to the growth in data traffic and the complexity of 5G services. Explore the need for networks to be purpose-built for the cloud from the ground up to ensure optimal effectiveness. Our experts will also shed light on the necessary evolution of technology to keep pace with the demands of cloud-native operations.
Finally, we will present a compelling case study on aligning your cloud journey with business goals. Discover how the cloud can enable operational efficiency, resource aggregation, rationalized hardware inventories, network scalability, service agility, and resilience. Learn how CSPs can leverage the cloud to rapidly develop, test, and launch software applications, driving business growth at an unprecedented rate and scale. Explore the concept of abstracting more of the IT stack to create flexibility, scalability, and open doors to new service models.
Join us at the Studio Stage for an enlightening session that delves into cloud partnerships, cloud-native operations, and aligning the cloud journey with business objectives.
