Cloud and Enterprise ICT Research Stream Overview

To input to or find out more about the agenda, please email .

We'll also be exploring the implications at Digital Asia (2-4 December, Bali).

Background

There is a digital ‘hunger gap’ resulting from increasing competition and substitution from adjacent products in traditional telecoms markets. Replacing the $Bns of value lost / destroyed is a key strategic objective for many telcos. Providing Enterprise ICT solutions is a key opportunity in the ‘Telco 2.0’ model to develop new sources of value.

For example, Cloud services are one of the potential areas for telcos to address with strong growth prospects.

Cloud and Enterprise ICT Research Stream - who for?

Why is the Cloud and Enterprise ICT Stream of Value?

Cloud and Enterprise ICT represent major growth opportunities for CSPs but:

  • With the exception of a few incumbents with a strong fixed heritage, most CSPs lack significant experience and practice of bringing enterprise ICT propositions to market successfully
  • Cloud and new Enterprise ICT services present a raft of new challenges for CSPs including: New operating models, processes and culture New performance metrics New channels and delivery partners
  • The market is evolving fast and it is extremely difficult for executives to monitor and react to changes globally within the telecoms industry and with new non-telco competitors

The stream helps executives identify threats and opportunities in the $ multi-billion Cloud and Enterprise ICT market and implement and manage changes to be successful in this market.

"Over 90% of telecoms executives thought that telcos needed a significant change or dramatic overhaul in skills to be successful in new market areas."
