Accelerating the Shift from Telco to Techco: Balancing AI Agility, Digital Sovereignty, and Cloud Costs

As telecom operators evolve into agile TechCos, many are trying to expand beyond providing core connectivity to become AI inference providers. Delivering high-margin business-to-business offerings and automating network operations require bridging the historic data divide between Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS).

However, fusing real-time network telemetry (OSS) with customer and billing data (BSS) in public clouds is often too slow, cost-prohibitive, and restricted by data sovereignty laws. Meanwhile, managing fragmented data environments across network edges, legacy data centers, and clouds bogs engineering teams down in maintenance rather than innovation.

This executive roundtable brings together telecom digital transformation leaders for a candid discussion on innovating within these operational realities. We will explore how operators can monetize their network data and achieve push-button deployment speed for AI workloads directly where data resides.

Cloudera is the only hybrid data and AI platform company that brings AI to data anywhere: in clouds, data centers, and at the edge. Cloudera delivers 100% of the data in all forms—whether it is in Cloudera or anywhere in the entire data estate. The world’s largest organizations rely on Cloudera to fuel insights that boost bottom lines, safeguard against threats, and save lives.
