NICE, France, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei today hosted its "Open Digital Telco Summit" in Nice, France during TM Forum Live! 2015, discussing telecom digitization with global carriers.
Huawei's summit focused on the topic "Open ROADS to Accelerate Digitization," discussing industrial hot topics like the digital ecosystem, digital operation, and open cloud infrastructure. More than 200 industry leaders and experts from global operators and consulting firms attended the forum including Telefonica Group, Orange Group, China Mobile, China Unicom Sichuan, and Telkomsigma to share both their viewpoints on digital transformation and their successful cooperation with Huawei. At the summit, the leading consulting firm OVUM also released the results of its global research on digital transformation conducted in cooperation with Huawei. Finally, Huawei shared its digital transformation strategy, and released its big data analytics solution "Fusion Insight – Universe Analytics Solution."
Zou Zhilei, President of Huawei Carrier Business Group, said, "The digital era is coming. User requirements and habits are becoming internetized, which we at Huawei summarize as ROADS - Real-time, On-demand, All-online, DIY, and Social. Carriers need to accelerate their digital transformation to meet the "ROADS" requirements. The first important element is Telco OS, a next-generation operations system that supports a ROADS experience, equivalent to the carrier business enabling operating system. Second, a cloud-based and software-defined IT infrastructure and open data platform are also important. Based on our close and long relationship with more than 400 carriers, Huawei deeply understands the pain points and problems brought on by the different phases of digital transformation. Huawei will always stress the importance of cooperation and innovation, and strive to become a strategic partner of the digital transformation of carriers as they tackle digital transformation."
