Digital Leadership Summit: Growth, unlocked with Intelligent BSS

Wednesday, August 4, 2021 12:00pm to 1:30pm

Virtual

In order for CSPs to monetize all that 5G and B2B2X enables today and in the future, they will need to transform their Business Support Systems (BSS). This will ensure CSPs can quickly and easily reinvent their core business, develop B2B2X ecosystem partnerships and drive new revenue growth.

We are all aware of the need for digital transformation in order to survive and thrive in an ever changing industry. However, many service providers are shackled to a legacy estate which is expensive to operate and maintain, does not deliver the customer experience consumers demand; and is slow and difficult to change.

In this session, we will:

  • Consider why digital transformation is essential and how legacy is making this transformation difficult.
  • Explore how transforming the BSS gives CSPs the opportunity to accelerate innovation and monetize 5G, edge, and enterprise transformation
  • Understand how to reduce risk in your BSS transformation
  • Hear from service providers who have modernized their BSS, learn from then the strategies and techniques which were successful, and the pit-falls to avoid.
  • Consider the non-technical changes which are required to make the legacy modernization successful, especially cultural, and financial changes.

If you are interested in attending this invitation-only event, please contact Iwona Hampsen. Space is limited.
