3. Ovum view
 Intelligent network
 A network that is more than a point of consumption.
 Think of it as a nervous system for applications management, in the
hands of the user
1. IN has arrived. Telco service evolution through fixed mobile
convergence (FMC), unified communications (UC) and cloud
2. IN is user-centric. End user controls, features and facilities – and
behaviours
3. IN supports changing business needs. What’s demanded of the
CIO, the ways businesses are buying, the impact of ICT
investments

5. See it from the CIO perspective
 What are the drivers?  What you need:
 Applications – enterprise
applications volumes and  See It
increasing business reliance  Rely on the measure
 Devices – CIOs see their end
users are managing  Act on it, safely
applications and resources
themselves
 Cloud – global end-to-end  What you get:
sourcing, consumption model,
user controls
 Portal
 CIO as service provider – IT
director, COO, HR manager.  NPM, APM
More senior managers are
responsible for buying  Security
From the CIO point of view, this is a combination you probably did not
have before the intelligent network, unless you had built your own
