What is it like to be at the epicentre of disruptive change? And is GenAI really that important?

In the telecom software market, Amdocs has long been one of the most significant and successful players. But how does it view, and respond to, the multiple waves of disruptive change in telecom and IT, from cloud to GenAI? To what extent are its customers – 400-some telcos across the globe – embracing or playing down the impact? In short, while we often talk about game-changing technologies, how is that playing out in practice, for both telcos and their suppliers?

And, just ahead of MWC24, what can we expect to see hear and experience from Amdocs this year?

This episode is a wide-ranging half-hour conversation with one of Amdocs’ most senior and most experienced executives.
