What is the role of technology innovation as a driver for improved return on investment - how do technology choices impact service creation and delivery? For DSPs looking at higher margin network-based services, getting the right foundations in place is critical, which means arguing the case for increased spending on R&D, supporting an innovation pipeline that extends from research through to deployment. And if they are to be agile they must accelerate their new service roll-out processes, utilising advances in automation and AI. The session discusses the best blueprints for service innovation.
