Description

The advent of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) brings with it a wealth of new application and service possibilities. But the transition to IP services and converged applications needs careful assessment and planning for UK organisations. It’s not just about a network’s capabilities; it’s also about the provider’s approach to defining and sustaining quality services.

Organisations today are looking to their telco to help them change their businesses, but are those providers ready to do more than simply supply network services? Only by working with a telco who can demonstrate a progressive service mindset as well as next generation capabilities, can real transformation occur. As a result, those attributes represent a telco of the future – a telco that can embody the next generation of telecommunications - Telecoms 2.0.

So are telcos who are claiming to have these Telecoms 2.0 attributes in the game or just hyping the issues? In this webinar we put it under the microscope with input from Carl Stokes, Head of IT at City University, Ken Johnson, Senior Manager at ntl:Telewest Business and guest analyst Rob Bamforth from Quocirca:

  • IP and converged applications: what capabilities can a telco with telecoms 2.0 attributes offer to UK companies?
  • What can end users expect from the new era of Telecoms as it shifts the focus from connecting buildings using circuits, to connecting people using converged, next generation networks.
  • Adaptability: how NGNs enable organisations to react faster to changing requirements.
  • The next generation minefield: how telcos need to rethink their mindset in order to help users navigate it
  • Customer care: what should customers expect from their telcos and how will account/service management need to change?

     




     

    Format
    30-minute informal debate on the issue of what will likely make up a next-generation network, including interactive polling, followed by a 25/30- minute moderated Q&A session.
