CEO FORUM: STRATEGIES

Tuesday, 1 December 2009 •ن7:45ن- 9:45 (HST - Hawaii Standard Time)

The planet is witnessing a major transformation in the telecommunications industry, with the morphing of the traditional telco into an emerging softco. This transformation is driven as a result of the infrastructures from the past not being capable to move/change/adapt on the same time cycles as customer needs. Innovation must come increasingly on software cycle times versus legacy hardware infrastructure-based cycle times in order to meet customer expectations. This emerging customer expectation drives the need for more agile development.

There are three key factors that interplay in the transformation of service providers from a telco to a softco. They are web services (such as Web 2.0), software-driven platforms and next-generation network technologies.

In this forum, executive-level speakers will address strategies for:
. Deliveringنservice innovation;
. Unlocking the investments being made in broadband;
. Future networks such as NGN; andن
. System-software processes enabling service providers to effectively compete in the 21st century.
