Etisalat Group, with Deloitte and Huawei, have announced the launch of a joint White Paper entitled From Pipelines to Clouds – Etisalat`s Playbook that intends to share lessons learned towards a cloud-native Telco.
The launch of the White Paper From Pipelines to Clouds – Etisalat`s Playbook is focused around a playbook as to how to implement multiple exponential technologies that constitute a digital transformation journey through a technology perspective. The companies believe that a future telco cloud will require a different telecom networks` infrastructure and system architecture to address customers digital needs in order to deliver intelligent, quicker, more reliable value added services.
Commenting on the initiative, Hatem Bamatraf, Chief Technology Officer at Etisalat Group said: Cloud computing presents unique opportunities for Etisalat to attain sustainable growth in the emerging digital ecosystem. Our aim is to deliver a differentiated service experience to empower a digital and happier society.
Network transformation should be considered as an opportunity to deploy an experience oriented agile network and operating model rather than an imperative compulsion to address short-term business challenges,” said Peng Xiongji, President Etisalat Key Account Huawei Technologies.
At Deloitte we believe that digital transformation is not only about technology, deep transformations might happen in telcos at multiple dimensions in order to revamp their business. We also believe that a big bang approach has a lower probability of succeeding; instead, the journey might be travelled step by step and harvest benefits along the way,” said Pedro Tavares, Partner, Deloitte Portugal, and Leader of the Engineering Centre of Excellence (CoE).
The adaption of new architecture and processes outlined in White Paper will enable Etisalat Group to devise a practical road-map for the adaption of SDN and NFV technologies in addition to cutting edge techs such as MEC, AI, Machine Learning, 5G and so on.
