Ensuring ROI while Transforming into Autonomous Networks

Presenter

Presentation Notes

1) Key vision and goals behind network transformation 2) How essential is the transformation for being 5G Ready 3) Monitoring and step lock the transformation journey with ROI 4) Leveraging market place concepts for flexibility and efficiency 5) The role of standardizations and APIs in fast tracking transformation , 6) Exploit internal and external innovation to redefine the concept of network Followed by, BT’s experience on moving towards an ”Autonomous Network”


The need for transforming into an Autonomous Network

Improve business agility & operational efficiency through zero-touch configuration, applied intelligence, enhanced collaboration and closed looped automation

Vision

Simplification of processes, automate the network operations to reach a level of “No L1 staff”, additional opportunity for automation based on new patterns by L2 staff

Goal

• Network virtualization• Adoption of SDN• Network DevOps• Dynamic scaling• Cloud migration• Partner products

through marketplace• Differentiated &

complex services

Factors mandating transformation

• Customer experience• Time for

provisioning changes• Managing dynamic

demands• Reduced cost of operations

Leading to improvements

• Increased revenue• Time to launch

Digital products• Enable partner products• Faster time to revenue• Revenue realization of

new products

Business imperatives


Launching 5G services adds to the mandate

5G Network

Inherently virtual, with SDN orchestration

CUPS mandates dynamic high-speed changes

Assured availability, throughput & latency

Speed and scale of operations

On-demand network slices

Differentiated services per application

Autonomous Networks key to Cost efficient 5G slicing

Autonomous Networks enable

• Optimal resource deployment across slices

• Precise & Just in Time reallocation for higher efficiency

Slice 1

Slice 2

Slice 3

Edge DC Reginal DC National DC

CSPs need to cater to dynamically changing demand for different slice types

This requires continuous reconfiguration of network

Structuring the transformation

Which areas to focus first – Ensuring early returns are invested back

Simplification Automation Visualization

Standardization Orchestration Intelligence


The ROI – is there one?

Do we see the returns for the investments in network transformation soon?

• Implementation of• Domain & end-to-end service orchestrators• A comprehensive data solution• Federated process management• Network visibility tools and so on…..

• Investments into various automation tools –RPA, Cognitive, AI/ML

• Team of experts to identify & implement the use cases for automation across the value chain

Factors that influence the cost of transformation

• Reduction in costs of network operation, customer care, ….

• Marginalizing risks involved in manual activities in introducing new technologies or products

• Cost of instability due to unplanned scaling and configuration

• Increase in revenues by faster provisioning, high uptake

• Opportunity cost reduction• Other intangible benefits

Returns cancome in by way of


Redefining the universe of Network

Leveraging certain technology advancements, standards & partnerships can enable the RoI

Standardization of the interface languages and the network models will ensure least dependence on the network technology variations

Partnerships are key to having an autonomous network• Cloud providers, Application

developers and providers, Peer industries, other network providers, etc.

Leverage Technologies• Network automation technologies

like SON & SDN, Network DevOps (NetOps), advanced test automation, Network-as-a-service APIs, marketplace
