Kalyan Achyutuni, CIO of Smart commented on this occasion, “The new telco CIO today is focused on developing a business blueprint that governs how data is strategically identified, managed and consumed for meeting technology outcomes, and one that changes the game for large blue-chip telecommunication operators such as Smart Axiata. An innovative data strategy creates the technology plan that determines the technical execution of the company, including reference architecture, governance, and use case prioritization, assists the company in creating a digital-first organization with skills required to meets technology demands”.
Wavenet CEO, Suren Pinto added “Today, for CSPs organizations that are operating in such diverse market conditions, it is even more important to create internally, a culture that is infused with data-centricity in order to be able to exploit and identify key data insights to deliver value.
