HPE Telco User Forums: Talking with customers to share the future together

[TelcoExperts]

In the telco industry, success in digital transformation relies on strong and continuous linkages between vendors and customers. The HPE Telco User Forums are events designed for existing HPE customers in this industry aimed at maintaining a constant, two-way communication flow, both in collecting customer feedback on existing products and sharing experiences and best practices on their implementations.

HPE held our Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Telecom Analytics & Fraud management (TAF) forums in the Cote d’Azur, on June 18-20. Over 40 people from various customers around the globe were present coming from each of the 5 continents.

Amongst them, some introduced their strategic views on these subjects, as well as the evolutionary steps needed to tackle the coming of 5G. The latter was discussed in a special panel which included speakers from customers, partners, industry analysts and HPE subject matter experts. The event also included live demos of several new HPE technologies.

Feedback from attendees was outstanding with the overall average rating for the event sitting above 4.50 on a 1-5 rating scale. Comments included “I'd like to congratulate HPE on the great event that you delivered us. The discussions were very rich and it brought important information and experiences.” and “Open and very interactive sessions. Perfect mix between HPE and customer content. Good opportunity for networking and open discussions.”

The event also showcased two of our key partners in the telco industry:

• Intel - whose infrastructure technologies are able to match the scalability, resilience and efficiency needed for 5G deployments.
• VMware - whose technologies are essential components in bridging the gap between traditional and “Telco network” IT.

 A big thank you to Intel and VMware for sponsoring this key event.
