On-demand Webinar • Automating network operations – best practice from a world-leader • Polystar & Elisa Automate
Date of Live Webinar: 24 June 2020
Topic: Automating network operations – best practice from a world-leader
Listen to our new, live podcast, in which experts from Elisa explore how they have introduced NOC automation to the Elisa Finland network, reducing costs and driving operational excellence.
Network operations and performance management have high costs, making a significant contribution to overall OPEX and reducing profits that are already challenged. Different approaches to reducing the cost of network operations have been attempted and, because of imminent expenditure on 5G, the issue is more pressing than ever.
According to many, automation is the answer. But, how do you implement effective automation programmes? Where do you begin? How do you identify the most promising candidates? For Elisa Finland, the answer was to start with the Network Operations Centre – the NOC.
Our live talk features experts from Elisa Finland and Elisa Automate, in a discussion on NOC automation. They’ll explore these questions and more, sharing their experience in implementing a fully automated, zero-touch NOC, based on Elisa Automate’s Virtual NOC solution.
