2020 Digital operator

Vision, Strategy and RoadmapDisruptive competition is the number one challenge to operators. OTT companies are thriving by feeding off the infrastructure provided by traditional operators. Traditional operators and their CTIOs are fast realizing the size of the opportunity represented by becoming Digital Operators. The moment is now to collaborate and drive forward the journey of digital transformation. Soon it will be too late.

It is therefore not surprising that operators are hoping to become Digital Operators by 2020 and have all embarked on the transformation journey that will allow them to effectively compete against OTTs and other industry sectors. Crucial components of that digital transformation journey are: to have a vision of how to get there; a concrete plan on how to transform the business; the ability to build partnerships and ecosystem; and an understanding of how to leverage new technologies to take advantage of the numerous opportunities.

Key Challenges that will be addressed:

• Digital Operator 2020 – how do you get fromvision to reality?

• How do you achieve the agility needed toeffectively compete in the digital economy?

• How do you build and manage partnerships andecosystems?

• How do you design and deliver complex, multi-partner services?

• How do you foster innovation?

• How do you establish and maintain trust in adynamic, evolving and complex digital ecosystem?

• What are the opportunities for monetizing data?

• How do you leverage IoE to create new revenuestreams?

• What are the challenges involved in creating asecure environment for the digital economy?

• What is the role of APIs and how do they enableplatform business models?


ai and Data analytics

Enabling and monetizing digital ecosystems to deliver valuable new servicesIn the digital era, the telecom industry has shifted from basic phone and internet service to a sector that is going high-tech and constantly evolving into a more mobile, wearable and automated environment.

Today’s leading telecom companies are leveraging AI to process Big Data, improve operations and increase revenue. With such large and spread-out infrastructures, telecom companies will likely host an ecosystem of companies leveraging data for uptime and functioning.

We know that the industry is evolving and every change has direct effects on business and commerce. This track aims to provide pertinent insights for business leaders and professionals interested in how Analytics and AI is impacting digital services and telecoms companies.


• What is the true potential of intelligence forservice providers?

• What is the potential for ML and AI in a CSPbusiness?

• What do we need to do to exploit/enable thistechnology?

• Is AI the killer use case for Big Data analytics?

• How are operators exploiting AI in differentbusiness areas?

• How can we integrate artificial intelligence intoour broader digital transformation?

• What are the current and emerging capabilitiesof AI technology and the required infrastructure?

• Is machine learning and AI the only way forwardto meet the new business-assurance needs in thedigital ecosystem?



US Cellular

Serving the Digital Customer

Delivering Consistent Digital Customer Experiences acrossMultiple ChannelsOrganizations are under a lot of pressure to deliver exceptional digital customer experiences and deliver them consistently across complex environments. Operators and vendors must be ready to understand the new frontiers and how to navigate the next generation of digital experiences which will be personal, augmented, virtual and immersive.

Business leaders are exploring the why, and collaborating on the how, of transforming their organizations to be experience-centric, agile and aligned so that they are geared correctly for customer retention and long-term customer success. The Serving the Digital Customer track at Digital Transformation World will help give a deep understanding of how leading organizations are succeeding — and sometimes failing — to deliver on the many promises of Customer Centricity strategies and technologies.


• How do you create the kind of experiencecustomers expect from a digital company?

• What will the increasing role of technology be inthe lives of customers and in the way in whichwe conduct business in the broadest sense?

• What are your customers’ expectations andmotivations and how do you design thecustomer digital experience along differentactions and interactions?

• How can you ensure you are delivering the most relevant products, messages or offers to your customers, at the most appropriate time?

• What is the best way to develop a data-first strategy and integrate technology innovation using ML and AI to broaden your user base and open new sources of revenue?




reimagining oSS/BSS

Driving Business Agility into the OrganizationThe capacity to systematically absorb and operationalize ongoing cycles of innovation to create new services and business models, is the hallmark of future success. It requires re-imagining monolithic Operational and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) using cloud computing’s best practices, zero-touch operations, and ICT’s leading virtualization techniques. Discover the pace of change and the level of agreement about using Open APIs and an Open Digital Architecture as the foundation for the next generation.

OSS/BSS has been a major focus for TM Forum since its conception. This core telecoms technology is transforming with the continued adoption of big data, agile IT, and new disruptive technologies like Machine Learning and AI. With customer loyalty (and therefore customer centricity) as important as ever for CSPs, they need to stay on top of new technologies to ensure they offer a seamless customer experience and deal with challenges.


• Evolving and future-proofing OSS/BSS

• Developing a new IT organization structure tosupport OSS/BSS development

• Creating new business models and revenuestreams with OSS/BSS

• Rapidly developing and deploying services

• Achieving a flexible, on-demand approach toservice development and delivery

• Remaining competitive and reducing subscriberchurn through seamless service delivery andservice migration

• Countering the challenge presented by digitalnative companies and service providers


Zero-Touch nFV/SDn

e Route From Hybrid to Zero-Touch Operations ManagementTechnology leaders have a bold vision for completely zero-touch business operations enabled by artificialintelligence. Pragmatists are thoughtfully planning hybrid journeys from today’s reality to tomorrow’s lower-costzero-touch environments. Discover if the visionaries and pragmatists can join forces to create a way forward.

NFV/SDN is a well-established technology, but the remaining challenge is to monetize the existing deploymentsand to achieve measurable cost reductions and new revenue streams. Network architects at CSPs need to stay ontop of changing technology and standards, and provide seamless service delivery with hybrid networks. CSPs arestruggling with the complexity of NFV/SDN and the large investments required to implement it. The technology isin place now but CSPs need to learn how to fully leverage and monetize it while maintaining service standards forend users.

This track offers unbiased, vendor-neutral insight into network strategy and service delivery.


• What are the necessary enablers for a hybridnetwork management platform?

• What is the role of TM Forum’s ZOOM project inenabling hybrid infrastructure management?

• How do CSPs move from blueprints andarchitecture to realizing this future state ofoperations?

• Which platform capabilities are needed forfuture services?

• What are the next steps to new revenuegeneration?

• How can we harness real-time charging and spotpricing?

• What have been the best use cases for NFV &SDN thus far?

• What is the current ROI on NFV & SDNdeployments?



CTio Summit

An invitation-only 24-hour private CTIO Summit designed for peer-to-peer exchange andnetworking at Digital Transformation World.

Leading Digital Business Transformation: From the 5% to the 95%Today, digital leaders are measuring the impact IT has on the 95% of OpEx it serves, rather than the 5% it consumes, as technology becomes the business. At the same time, the role of a CIO and a CTO is increasingly combined, requiring a sophisticated blend of business, technology and people leadership skills. Join with fellow CTIOs who are driving game changing operational efficiency and agility into their organization through simplification, automation and intelligence.

The emergence of open, connected 5G ecosystems, and the digitalization of complex, established industries, represents a $500bn+ opportunity for the telecommunications industry. Seizing this opportunity demands radical change: a game-changing leap in operating efficiency and agility and the ability to form open digital partnerships. This is only possible with a new mindset towards IT & Operations and the need for bold leadership to drive this change has never been greater.

The CTIO Summit focuses on the needs and challenges for today’s technology leaders, bringing together leading CIOs, CTOs and CTIOs to explore questions including:

• Simplification, automation, intelligence: driving change across IT and business operations• Where to prioritize investment, time and resources to succeed in today’s market• Leading change: the qualities and expectations on today’s technology leaders• Getting the foundations right: digital skills, governance, architecture, and more

This is for CTios from operators only. if you are a CTio and would like to attend, please contact Joia Tulloch at [email protected].
