Converging edge, IoT and AI: A strategic guide to success in a growing market
The market for edge IoT presents a significant opportunity for technology solution providers but has yet to reach its full potential. In this report, we present the results from a four-part research series conducted in partnership with Volt Active Data, focusing on how to capture this value. This report addresses critical aspects such as the technical challenges, ecosystem dynamics and ultimately, the pathway to monetisation for edge IoT solutions.
Improving supply chain visibility and trust: The impact of digitalisation in logistics
Supply chain organisations are adopting innovative digital solutions
facilitating real-time visibility and trust across networks. We forecast that
there will be 700 million EoT-enabled devices by 2030 across supply
chains.
DTW24: Generative AI brings both hype and hope
DTW24 showed a telecoms industry ready to face reality and making quiet progress. This progress may not go far or fast enough to change the future of the industry, but either way AI will play a big role.
Telecoms 2030 Part 3: Pathways to servco, infraco and techco
To avoid becoming pure utilities, telcos must evolve their core businesses into more efficient and flexible infracos. But if they also want to accelerate growth and capture the full value of their network investments, they should strive towards building services businesses and becoming telecom techcos. We explore different pathways leading operators are taking to get there.
Telecoms 2030 Part 2: Understanding the forces of change
Part two of this three-part report series examines the influence and impact of external forces that will shape telcos’ journeys as they adapt to survive and compete in the future.
Finding value from AI, analytics and automation (A3) in the telco network
In this report we update our model of the financial value of adding AI, analytics and automation (A3) into a telco’s processes. The focus of this update is the network and OSS. In these domains, our bottom-up assessment shows that telcos can achieve financial benefits amounting to 5% of annual revenues.
Advancing sustainability through network automation
Operators who neglect sustainability throughout their network automation journeys may miss out on synergistic energy saving opportunities. We explore five automation applications that reduce emissions and outline how operators can maximise sustainability outcomes in their network automation journeys.
Future Skills Tracker report
Telcos need new skills to change their organisations to compete like technology companies. Insights from our Future skills tracker tool show that telcos are behind techcos in the penetration of key skillsets and provides direction on the capabilities required to become more innovative, agile and software-driven overall.
Unlocking value: Strategic prioritisation of network and automation investment
Operators are transforming their networks to provide advanced services and tackle network complexity. However, progress is uneven as operators develop various capabilities at different stages. We outline four common pathways and provide recommendations for operator peer groups.
Multivendor telco cloud: Mapping the pathway to success
As operators embark on their telco cloud journeys, what should they look out for and what lessons can they learn from others? This report analyses the strategies and progress of four operators leading the way in telco cloud transformation and sheds light on the lessons learned from their initial deployments.
Automation: Reaching full potential
The maturity of telco automations in the network OSS and BSS varies significantly. Some telcos are reporting significant headcount reductions from mature automations while others are still in the early stages of simple automation deployments. There are important steps telcos must consider if they are to reach maximum automation.
Generative AI and beyond: Preparing for future A3
The pace of GAI development over the last 12 months raises questions for telcos around what else is coming down the track in analytics, AI and automation. How should they respond to GAI, thing as customer, decision intelligence and digital immunity, among others?
What do enterprises want from telcos?
Telcos are looking to expand their enterprise services and capture a larger share of the revenue opportunity. But to do this they must carefully consider where they are best placed to compete and how they can build on existing expertise and reputation.
The data-driven telco: How to progress
Telcos are making progress on the data-driven path. We asked experienced Chief Data Officers about their current short- and mid-term priorities to uncover how to successfully steer the telco towards the ambition of becoming data-driven organisations.
Driving sustainability in telco metro networks
How can operators apply best practice principles from the cloud and leading operators as they plan their metro network for growth?
Telco digital twins: Cool tech or real value?
Deployment of digital twins by telcos runs significantly behind some verticals as they have less compelling use cases. However, they are now going live in multiple network-related areas. What are the key drivers and barriers of digital twin adoption in telecoms?
