Comptel Strategy for 2015-2017
Comptel Board of Directors and Executive Board have updated the Comptel strategy and strategic objectives for 2015-2017.
VISION AND MISSION
Life is digital moments. Digital demand will be driven by “Generation Cloud” customers and enterprises interacting with millions of digital applications. The Internet of Things with billions of connected devices will further accelerate the digital demand leading to exploding data volumes. Future mobile and fixed networks will provide hyper speeds and undergo a transformation from hardware to software. Network functions will be virtualised. Mounting complexity will require orchestration of business flows and virtualised resources.
Comptel mission is to perfect the digital moments and translate them into business moments by connecting digital demand and supply.
CUSTOMERS’ CHALLENGES
Comptel customers - digital service and communications providers – need to answer four major questions in order to succeed in the changing business landscape:
- How do we win the hearts and minds of generation cloud customers?
- What is needed to monetise the increasing new data, content, app and service opportunities with less time?
- How do we quickly adopt more adaptive, flexible and scalable virtualised and cloud-based technologies?
- How do we turn big data into intelligent fast data and automated actions?
COMPTEL STRATEGY
Comptel strategy focuses on providing solutions for digital service and communications providers in two major areas – Intelligent Data and Service Orchestration. Intelligent Data business area delivers solutions and services to customers for monetizing new data opportunities and turning big data into intelligent automated actions. Intelligent Data business area growth is driven by increasing importance of monetizing the exploding data volumes. Service Orchestration business area provides solutions and services for business flow orchestration and mastering digital buying experience. Growth is driven by inevitable transformation caused by cloud services and network virtualization.
Comptel strategy execution is based on six strategic objectives as follow.
SOLUTIONS WITH UNIQUE VALUE
Cornerstone of the Comptel strategy is unique and differentiating solution portfolio. Using the FlowOne fulfillment suite and ecosystem, customers can master the orchestration of service and business flows from ground to cloud.
