Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Telefónica's foundations for AN Level 4
Q: What is the approach to scale autonomy across countries and domains while avoiding copy-paste solutions?
Start with a holistic program, translate learnings to suit different networks, and use a central coordination group to ensure decisions align with the autonomy objective, while empowering local centers of excellence to tailor implementations.
Telefónica's foundations for AN Level 4
Q: Could you give us an insight into where Telefónica started with this journey?
They began in 2021 with automation in IP and transport and mobile, then expanded to core and telco cloud, reinforcing the idea that end-to-end autonomy requires cross-domain progress and learning from each geography.
How Swisscom is approaching AI-driven transformation
Q: How is AI enabling the migration from Siebel to a unified data platform?
By transforming Siebel data into a data platform with data products like 'customers', using data integrity checks and an overarching data platform to reduce direct migrations and enable more fluid, data-driven transitions.
How Swisscom is approaching AI-driven transformation
Q: What does transformation look like now in an AI world?
It's a business transformation focused on enabling new opportunities and faster experimentation, moving away from static, monolithic replacements toward a continuous, adaptable transformation that is embedded in the ecosystem.
Colt's Chief Digital Information Officer on adapting to AI disruption
Q: Has it meant you sort of rethink your approach to architecture or architects?
Ash discusses a blended buy-and-build strategy, the decline of deep vendor lock-in, the emergence of end-to-end AI-enabled capabilities, and the idea that agents and AI can empower developers and architects to work more broadly across the stack rather than in silos.
