Sanil Nambiar, IBM (00:07):
We have a new product. It's called IBM Network Intelligence, and we want to showcase it to the world here to all the telecom customers who are adopting AI native automation and AI nativeness in the network. IBM network intelligence is autonomous network journey enabler, and it has day zero, day one and day two capabilities. We start with day two because that's really where the best bang for the buck is. And then once customers start to adopt this solutions into day two, the insights will then drive some of the lifecycle optimization of day zero and day one. So as you can see, it's sort of a virtuous cycle that it forms in terms of starting with day two, which is where you really want to produce your opex, get network resilience, optimize your CapEx, and then you move on to other lifecycle optimization like plan and design and build, et cetera.

(00:59):
So that's really where we are building towards the vision. Starting with data operations, we also have IBM Server one, which is an industry leading network performance management solution. We have integrated IBM server one with IBM network intelligence because it just makes sense to have a really strong foundation from time series network data, which seven provides into our time series foundation models, which within IBM network intelligence and the observations that we can see from these pre-trained foundation models can be sent into a framework for reasoning with the agents to surface evidence and come up with the best hypothesis for most probable cause. Fully explainable, scaffolded with trust presented to the user, the time to start thinking and doing something about network economies. Now, because you have access to the right technologies, the market forces which are driving network autonomy is right now and right here you have multi-cloud edge proliferation, you have data deluge.

(02:00):
You have this situation where modern distributed networks have completely outstripped human cognition. And so this is the right time to start. And solutions like this coming from IBM who is really focused on trust and safety, we have so many open source innovations that we have done in the last past year. Time series, foundation models for forecasting, for anomaly detection, dock link for document processing, MCP gateways, many, many different innovations all coming together as a product which we can take to our customers. It's golden insight. I mean, customers talk more freely. It's an intimate event. They come and give us their insights about what their plans are. We talk to them about what we can bring to the table. So it's an absolute win-win and that customer conversation is not really possible all the time. And such events where you can provide your mind share about what you're bringing to the table and then the customers coming in, watching it, discussing with you. I think it's really golden information and golden insights, which I think they also want to hear from vendors so we can share and we can also get from them. So it's been great.
