Mobile World Congress: Service Providers Emerge in the Digital Transformation Spotlight

As we gear up for Mobile World Congress, Digital Transformation continues its rapid and profound effect across virtually every industry. Service providers, which play a unique and integral role in transformation initiatives, are not immune. In order to address their customers’ changing needs, they must undergo their own transformation to enhance capabilities while reducing costs and complexity.

This requires transforming across several dimensions – all at the same time:

• Their own operations and infrastructure – how do they embrace new technologies and architectures such as DevOps to more efficiently deliver services and how do they evolve and train their staff in new operating models to make it happen
• Their ecosystem and supply chain models – how do they evolve existing, and build new, relationships, with upstream partners, digital content providers and how do they navigate the procurement landscape to deliver the required flexibility
• Their service offerings and portfolio – How do they rapidly create and offer new, innovative, and differentiated services to existing enterprises and consumers while also expanding into new markets such as industrial IoT and machine-to-machine services.

Dell Technologies believes that service providers can achieve these objectives and turn IT into an innovation hub by modernizing, automating and transforming their infrastructure assets. For cloud service providers (X-as-a-service, consumer webtech and managed hosting providers), this means bringing the cloud to the enterprise by modernizing service offerings and automating processes to help their customers transform industries and how they operate. For communications service providers/telcos, this means bringing the cloud to the network by modernizing infrastructure, automating service delivery and transforming operations. As a result, they can use IT to accelerate innovation, increase agility, directly support business goals, and deliver differentiated business models and capabilities to their customers.

Each service provider will be on its own digital transformation journey and moving at its own speed. Additionally, each will arrive at a different destination specific to their needs, the needs of their customers and their relationships with their suppliers.

By investing in and modernizing their own operations and capabilities, service providers can enhance agility, reduce costs, speed time-to-service delivery and ultimately increase customer productivity and satisfaction.
