A roundtable study of the critical issues driving the IT and telecom industries going into 2016
As the worlds of IT and telecoms continue to converge, the major, high-level drivers in these markets can be increasingly derived from common themes. Service provider and enterprise business and technology executives certainly share visions that revolve around greater agility and efficiency, coupled with a laser focus on innovation and world-class customer experiences. So industry-driving topics such as virtualization, the Internet of Things, and analytics (along with the perennials security and mobility) are naturally top-of-mind in both markets.
Trends analysis comes very easily to Current Analysis - the differentiated, real-time model guarantees that our analysts are immersed in the trends as they take shape. Identifying trends and new dynamics is not a one-off project or exercise at Current Analysis – it happens naturally and constantly. Still, the calendar ticking over into a new year provides the ideal moment to talk about what we’ve observed in the past year and what we - and IT and telecoms executives - expect to see happen in the year to come.
In this webinar our analyst leaders will engage in a moderated roundtable discussion on these key market dynamics spanning the IT and telecoms market, and delivering both insights and advice to suppliers and buyers alike along the way.
