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?
