Ericsson’s research shows that most communication service providers are already working on AI and automation initiatives. However they say that technology alone is not enough – new skills and ways of working are required for service providers to become more digital. These organizational changes are at least as important as the technological aspects in a successful transformation to become more digital.
Peter Laurin, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Managed Services, Ericsson, says: “The introduction of 5G and IoT, the explosion of connected devices and the battle to stay relevant have a profound impact on the ways in which networks and IT need to be operated. As 5G is introduced around the globe, service providers are faced with the challenge of having to manage more coexisting technologies and use cases, new service requirements, virtualization and network slicing. With this in mind, the complexity of managing next-generation networks will surely grow. The Ericsson Operations Engine, our AI-driven platform for managing the networks of the future, enables service providers to leapfrog this transformation”. The company will follow up to advanced internet for telecoms around the world; their operation evolves operations from being network-focused to user-experience-focused.
