Description of event
CSPs have started their digital transformation journey with over 90% having digital transformation on their agenda. Improving business profitability through reduced costs, multiplied revenue performance, and customer experience tops their objective list.
Operational agility will play an important role in achieving these objectives. However, how quickly CSPs are able to transform operations, given the complexity of their IT estates, is hindered by their legacy IT environments. Hence, CSPs must identify effective methods to address the challenges associated with their complex IT environment. One approach to consider is the deployment of modern application development practices such as development and deployment on cloud, transforming enterprise architecture towards microservices and APIs, and adoption of DevOps practices and tools. These concepts are aimed at simplifying CSPs’ IT applications ecosystems, whilst providing capabilities to support their long-term ventures.
In this webinar we will look at how Vodafone UK is addressing the challenges associated with its IT environment, working in partnership with Infosys. During this webinar, we’ll cover the following:
- Market trends driving the need for digital transformation in the telecoms industry
- Factors impeding CSP digital transformation
- Best practices CSPs should adopt to address current challenges
- Case study: How Vodafone UK is accelerating digital transformation journey, using cloud and microservices
- Key recommendations CSPs should bear in mind while embarking on their digital transformation journeys
