  • Speakers: Morgan Stern, Vice President of Automation Strategy, Itential; Abhilekh Bhardwaj, Head Operations Strategy, Three UK; Aaron Boasman-Patel, Vice President of AI & Customer Experience, TM Forum; and Kirsty Bright, Director of Network Innovation & Transformation, Virgin Media O2.

As networks become more complex, CSPs’ dependency on automation activities is growing, creating a need to extend and manage how automation and orchestration are developed and deployed. In some cases, automation has graduated from small scripts used by individual engineers to true end-to-end orchestration, managed through orchestration/automation continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

“The Itential Automation Platform was designed with the vision of the future telco network – to transform network operations and simplify automation across complex, multi-domain and multi-vendor infrastructure,” said Morgan Stern, VP of Automation Strategy at Itential. “Itential’s customers are on track to perform over 2 billion automation transactions through our platform in 2022, accelerating time to market dramatically, driving significant incremental business benefits for productivity and agility and opening the door for new service offerings made possible through these innovations.”

FutureNet World will give strategic partners from across the globe the opportunity to discuss the priorities and challenges facing network automation and AI in today’s digital world, and Itential looks forward to adding to the conversation.

Itential was recently named a Cool Vendor in Gartner’s 2022 “Cool Vendors in Network Automation.” Gartner cited the company’s “broad and strong” automation platform as a key reason enterprises and networking operators should consider Itential.
