Fatima AlDagar, who leads the transport planning network at du, discusses the successful automation of their IP, optical, and microwave networks. Initially, manual processes led to human errors and inefficiencies, but automation has significantly reduced task completion times and operational expenses. She highlights the collaboration with Nokia and NSP, which enabled multi-vendor support and comprehensive network management across various domains. Looking ahead, Fatima emphasizes the ongoing journey of automation, including plans to introduce network slicing to meet customer demands for specific service level agreements (SLAs) and to monetize the network.
