How will legacy enterprise communications adapt to programmable communications? Thomas Howe

How will legacy enterprise communications adapt to programmable communications? Thomas Howe, Chief Technology Officer at VHT TADSummit EMEA Americas 2020 Communications / telecoms is now programmable, almost anyone with web skills can do what was once protected in the ivory tower of telecom vendors. At global scale; and at telco grade availability. We’ve witnessed the disruption in telecoms, legacy vendors and telcos ‘gathered the wagons’ to create a fortress against disruption. The fortress isolated telcos from the market, so telecommunications is now seen as commoditized, no longer strategic. Their focus on faster internet access, and various cloud computing and IoT technology visions based on niche technology differentiation. Many enterprise communication vendors grew out of the traditional telecom vendors. Offering a scaled down version of telco switches. They too are facing the disruption telcos and their vendors faced. However, the market conditions are different, standards are not a defense, and enterprises are generally not as complicit as telcos. Thomas will share his perspectives on the evolution of enterprise communications, the coming disruptions and consolidation, and the opportunities being created as programmable communications disrupts the disruptors.Lire moins
