Hard Talk: Telco partner ecosystems

Telecoms is transitioning from being a service in its own right to being part of a business solution that is enabled by connectivity. But what does this mean for the telecoms operator in terms of the role that they play and their relationship with the end customer?

There is a risk for CSPs that connectivity is little more than an enabling requirement for these solutions and that, as such, they deliver little value. But what are the options for CSPs to play a more strategic role? Do they have to change to be prime contractor, to bring different players and different elements of the solution together and to have some sort of role orchestrating the solution? And if so, what new skills and capabilities do they require?

Join the Hard Talk as we explore:

• What is a partner ecosystem and how/where do the different partners come together?
• Who are the different players in a partner ecosystem?
• What potential new roles are available to telecoms operators in future partner ecosystems?
• Do all partner ecosystems involve / require platforms where all the different partners come together?
