Enterprises are continuing their initiatives around digital transformation, using data analytics, mobile, cloud services, IoT and other technologies to help them transform their organizations. While some companies have already embraced digital transformation, others have hesitated, waiting and watching to see what technologies would prove to be the stalwarts.
This year is likely to be a key turning point in which those that have waited will need to finally make decisions or risk being too far behind the curve, while others that were faster out of the gate work to improve and accelerate processes through which they can improve upon what they've already implemented.
Without question, digital transformation is a hot-button topic, as evidenced by numerous stories covered by Light Reading in just the past week:
Zain Saudi Arabia, Nokia Collaborate on 5G, IoT
Tech Mahindra Opens Factory of the Future Center
Globe Telecom Transforms With NEC & Netcracker
Huawei's NFV Solution Awarded Best Technology Enabler at MWC 2017
Already, there are a number of digital transformation companies and products featured in Virtuapedia, with a few standouts like:
QREDA-DX Platform from Flytxt lets enterprises and telcos share customer data insights derived from underlying data streams with external partners to launch new digital services. It ensures that the information is shared in compliance with data privacy regulation, while also pulling it from different sources within IT, such as billing, CRM, customer care, as well as external sources, like device data, geospatial maps and retail purchases.
Huawei's CloudCampus can manage several million network elements and gives operators automation tools to implement day-level WiFi network deployment. Field workers can complete hardware installation, and all cloud-managed devices, including switches and firewalls, are plug and play, and are ready immediately.
