Creating and marketing a new blueprint for telco automation with Rakuten

Case study overview

Rakuten is a greenfield telco who has exhibited many industry-firsts in rolling out a cloud-native, highly automated network before spinning out Rakuten Symphony to bring this expertise and technology to other telcos

– Rakuten wanted to capture some of the key lessons that they have learnt and broadcast them to the market

– Rakuten therefore asked STL Partners to work with internal stakeholders to create several thought leadership reports focused on cloud-native and automation in telco networks and promote them via a webinar and infographic
