Join us for an exclusive webinar with BCG on ESS – The Forgotten part of Telco IT
Over the last years, telco operators have invested a lot into the digitisation of customer journeys (Customer Support Systems – CSS), new solutions in data & analytics (D&A), but also into core system renewals (BSS and OSS and their shift to the Cloud – "Core2Cloud").
While these activities are still going on, one important pillar of Telco's IT solution landscape has been neglected: the Enterprise Support Systems – ESS containing ERP finance & asset mgmt., SCM, logistics, HRM, corporate systems etc. Given the shift to Cloud and the expiration of support for older ERP systems, a need for action has evolved for many telco operators.
This webinar gives an overview on where the Telco industry stands in ESS, how to structure thinking for potential ESS renewals and what we can learn from other industries and transformations.
