Deep dives
Telcos Broadening Channels and Connectivity Provision Gaining Importance
Telcos are being more diligent in their content and channel choices when making purchasing decisions. They are now relying on multiple sources for information, such as industry analysts, industry media, webinars, social media, and more. The shift towards a hybrid cloud strategy is observed with telcos, where they combine public and private cloud solutions. In terms of enterprise connectivity, telcos are focusing on providing solutions tailored to different industries and their specific needs. This new approach reflects the growing importance of next-gen connectivity and the opportunities it presents in the enterprise space.
The Appeal of Private Cloud for Telco Workloads
While there is growing interest in public cloud solutions for certain workloads like BSS and OSS, telcos are leaning towards private cloud solutions for more sensitive parts of their networks. This preference for private cloud is driven by factors such as data security, control over infrastructure, and the need for low latency connections. Additionally, the trend of relying on hyperscalers for large language models and generative AI solutions highlights the importance of robust enterprise connectivity provided through public and private cloud offerings.
Introducing Next Gen Connectivity for Enterprises
CC Group has launched a new division called Next Gen Connectivity, focused on enterprise-oriented connectivity provision and the opportunities presented by 5G. This division combines expertise from the mobile and telecoms division with the enterprise technology stream to address the growing demand for enterprise connectivity solutions. The aim is to help vendors and telcos capitalize on vertical-specific connectivity requirements across industries such as manufacturing, utilities, transport, and more. By staying ahead of industry trends and offering insights and strategies, Next Gen Connectivity aims to unlock the potential of connectivity for business growth and transformation.
