Social TV World Summit 2012

Tue, 08 May 2012 13:58:13 +0200

Our lives are consumed by liking, tweeting, sharing and following now. Social Media has opened up new worlds to us by allowing us to access shared content which before we never knew would have existed. Log on to twitter any day of the week and you will see the main discussions revolve around what people are watching.

This represents a great opportunity for the broadcasting industry. Many Broadcasters see Social Media as a major way to evolve the brand relationship with their audience and drive new revenue streams.

Therefore at this critical time when the major brands are starting to harness the potential of social media and increase their revenue streams, we present to you the Social TV World Summit 2012. The Social TV World Summit will go beyond simple discussions about the development of multiscreen.

It will address both the business and the technical considerations in how Social TV platforms should be included into effective and intelligent operator and broadcaster engagement strategies.

It will be a key opportunity for broadcasters, new media, operators, vendors, analysts, developers and OTT players to network and discuss the emerging role of social TV for future revenue strategies and for you to raise your profile and position your company as an innovation and thought leader.

NWA 2012

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:26:37 +0200

The third edition of NWA will once again bring together leaders among service providers, network equipment vendors, and providers of network management and operation solutions to discuss industry challenges and opportunities, present new ideas, and share best practices around the topic of network automation.

Automating service provisioning and network configuration is one of several areas for potential improvement. Current approaches to translating service models into configuration changes are overly dependent on manual intervention from experts with detailed knowledge of the network and, where automated systems are used, they often use complex scripting code that is expensive to maintain and slow to adapt to requirements for new product offerings.

Carrier Cloud Summit 2012

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:20:54 +0200

Traditional carriers are investing and aggressively shouldering their way into the cloud computing space. Although they expect large revenues from the promising cloud services market, telcos however have the disadvantage of not being IT integrators. Companies are looking for providers that have complex IT skills and can integrate multiple systems. This is a major issue for carriers. But they can claim that they are the best placed to solve the two main drawbacks of cloud architectures: on one side, they tend to reduce administrators' visibility ; on the other side, the reliability of service cannot easily be guaranteed, especially for customers whose operations demand near-perpetual uptime.

In other words, SaaS and IaaS are one thing and networking is another. This is an argument carriers can definitely put on the table facing private cloud offerings like Google/Amazon and others.

Cloud is about people, services and solutions

Indeed, Cloud is not only about platforms, it is about people, services and solutions. While SaaS services will run on a "Platform as a Service" (PaaS), other solutions like digital signage, Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Connected Home need much more than PaaS, they need servers, devices and a new business model. On the telecoms infrastructure side, there are many industry standards and blueprints on which to build a network, but IT oriented services are driven more by the carrier and their customers.

Achieving Carrier Cloud supposes to visualize and automate cloud service operations. It is also important to virtualize the network and to control the network' s paths and flows dynamically.

During the Carrier Cloud Summit, to be held in Novotel Wellness & Convention Centre Paris Roissy CDG from 19 to 21 June, 2012, project leaders, manufacturers and service developers will address these aspects in detail through up-to-date contributions.

The proposals will be analyzed by a scientific committee.
