Transformation to a data-centric operations for Telefonica TIWS operations

Nicolas Howard, CIO Global Solutions & B2B Architecture, Telefonica Business Solutions

Telefónica TIWS needs to evolve operations, by providing a unique experience with a 360 view on customers and services in real time, optimizing processes and infrastructures, and providing maximum efficiency in our network and platforms. As a first step, Telefónica and Amazon built in six months a single platform on AWS for the end-to-end view (with real-time data) of the services in its network. This platform enables several use cases, such as unified customer management, a dashboard with the incidents in the services, SLA tracking, and direct access to real-time data and historical data, traffic trends, and network behavior with ML.



5G and beyond: Only continuous assurance can sustain agile Telecom

Mike Silvey, EVP and Co-Founder, MoogSoft
Telecommunications service providers must embrace digital transformation to realize the future. Service providers need to continuously innovate and continuously deploy differentiated value services to remain competitive. This is only possible with a move to the cloud and agile. However, the move to “continuous” is only economically viable with Continuous Assurance. MoogSoft will demonstrate how the application of its 54 AI patents enables service providers to migrate to cloud and agile and sustain high-frequency change with a low cost of ownership and high-quality customer experience.



Powering customer experiences in production with AI

Aparna Khurjekar, Senior Vice President, Customer Experience & Transformation, Verizon Customer Group & Jonathan Lakin, Intent HQ

Learn about Verizon using AI to understand customer needs and adapt. Routing customers to the right agent first time, helping them while reducing costs. Knowing when to use digital, while surprising and delighting customers. Because no one is average this requires knowing more: what they care about and where they get stuck. Your richest signal is in network data — if curated. It’s billions of events per day and very noisy. Find out how to make this data useable without losing meaning. This is sensitive data, so go beyond compliance and embed privacy into the data. Ensure that promises to customers and regulators are kept. Hear how Verizon will measure the impact, beyond financial KPIs. All this possible via a hybrid model combining Intent’s AI, the AWS cloud and the best of Verizon’s own systems.
