Gabriel Brown, 5/24/2018 6:47:03 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Operations and TCO are very important in vendor selection, contract terms, and so on.

Gabriel Brown, 5/24/2018 6:39:57 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Operators that have invested and are operating NFV Cloud (and SDN) seem pretty positive. They are much less negative than those operators that want pre-packaged vendor solutions for less money. I wonder why.

Gabriel Brown, 5/23/2018 12:14:17 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," You could argue that in some areas operators have already done well out of NFV by driving down hardware costs on appliances. It's not the operational transformation many want, but is a lot cheaper to buy, say, a classic... Gabriel Brown, 5/23/2018 12:04:43 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Ultimately there aren't many shortcuts if you value quality and reliability.

When hardware and software are sold... mendyk, 5/23/2018 9:39:50 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," So some telcos have the same mindset as their customers who want all kinds of services for little or no actual money. Kind of ironic. ASX4000, 5/23/2018 5:07:54 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," No, actually you pay for a service that somebody delivers to you because you aren't able to take care by yourself. If you don't like it, nothing easier than this. Get the people, get the knowledge and do it by yourself.... brooks7, 5/22/2018 5:47:09 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: SaaS = good partner model I want to go back to how this succeeded in IT.

Sigma Systems' Guide to Transformation

A CSP's digital transformation involves so much more than technology. Crucial – and often most challenging – is the cultural transformation that goes along with it. As Sigma's Chief Technology Officer, Catherine Michel has extensive experience with technology as she leads the company's entire product portfolio and strategy. But she's also no stranger to merging technology and culture, having taken a company — Tribold — from inception to acquisition (by Sigma in 2013), and she continues to advise service providers on how to drive their own transformations. This impressive female leader and vocal advocate for other women in the industry will join Women in Comms for a live radio show to discuss all things digital transformation, including the cultural transformation that goes along with it.
