IFS and Microsoft are set to showcase their innovative AI solutions for telecom operators at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2024. The event will provide an opportunity for IFS to highlight the unique value of their IFS.ai solutions built on Azure in supporting network transformations, monetizing 5G services, and leveraging industrial AI.
IFS will use the platform to promote the launch of IFS.ai, which forms the backbone of their ERP, EAM, APM, FSM, and ITSM solutions. This built-in AI engine combines simulation, optimization, and anomaly detection to drive efficiency in operators’ operations.
Markus Persson, IFS’ global industry director for telecommunications, and Belinda Finch, the newly-appointed Chief Information Officer, will be present at the event. Belinda Finch, who was previously the CIO at Three UK, brings valuable experience in digital transformation.
During the event, the IFS team will be available at the Microsoft booth, where they will showcase the latest functionality available in IFS.ai and Azure. These solutions aim to help operators monetize 5G capabilities, accelerate service innovation, achieve sustainability goals, and optimize asset maintenance and field workers.
While IFS has already assisted telecom brands like Ericsson, Proximus, and STC in their digital transformation journeys, their recent customer rollouts, such as Tele2, reinforce the unique value of IFS in supporting operators. Tele2, a leading Swedish telecommunications services provider, is implementing IFS Cloud to simplify processes, drive automation, and enhance its 5G offering.
Markus Persson emphasizes the importance of investing in network infrastructure, expanding service portfolios, and developing new business models to stay ahead of the competition. He also highlights the challenge of finding and developing new workers who can leverage data analytics and AI, an area where IFS’s AI engine can significantly accelerate an operator’s time to value.
Belinda Finch stresses the ongoing need for operators to respond quickly to new technology and market dynamics. She believes that IFS’s enterprise platforms can be implemented swiftly to take advantage of new technology, enabling operators to remain agile.
IFS is a global cloud enterprise software company that develops and delivers industry-specific solutions for manufacturing, distribution, asset management, and service-focused operations. Their team of over 5,500 employees is committed to delivering value and maintaining their position as a recognized leader in the sector.
Overall, IFS and Microsoft’s participation in the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2024 highlights their commitment to supporting telecom operators through AI-driven solutions, network transformations, and the monetization of 5G services. The event provides an ideal platform for showcasing the latest advancements and industry-specific use cases.
