Transformation gotchas: a live discussion

May 2, 2024

Passionate About OSS founder and director Ryan Jeffery joined us on Zero-Touch Telecom Live to discuss the dilemmas operators face when automation transformation goes as planned. The replay is now available below.

No network can ever be 100% autonomous. Inevitably, "black swan" events occur and when they do, specialized teams need to be ready to address them. But if the network is running itself, how are these teams getting the many years of training they need to tackle the hard problems?

With so many closed-loop automations applied, how can operators be sure automation isn't competing with itself?

Our latest live explores these challenges and more while considering how to address the realities of automation going right.
