[2020/9/23]Progressing from the Industry Digital Transformation Whitepaper through 3 working groups to formation of communities of interest. We review of potential changes to ToR and Operations Documents.

[2020/9/23]Is the smart equipment industry fostering the concept and paradigm of new manufacture infrastructure? How can ICT technologies be deeply integrated with key manufacturing technologies?

[2020/9/23]The Covid-19 global pandemic is accelerating digital transformation in every part of society including healthcare, a sector worth $8.5 trillion per year, which is five times more than telecoms. The transformation of healthcare inevitably will be difficult, complex and uneven, however, and the role for information, communications and technology (ICT) service providers is unclear.

[2020/9/23]The ICT industry is going through a deep Digital Transformation, driven by changing customer demands and by the extension of the Ecosystem to new Business Partners (Verticals) as well as the advent of new technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Multi-access Edge Computing. A Fourth Industrial Revolution is announced. In order to provide end to end solutions customized to the Customers and Business Partners needs, the increasing complexity of Networks and Platforms supported by innovative technologies require to introduce a new Intelligent Framework with very high level of Automation in the Management and provisioning of services and Networks (Autonomous Digital Infrastructure – ADI). The first step of ADI is Autonomous Networks.
