Unlocking AI potential through a modern data architecture

Lack of a modern data architecture and mindset threatens to hold communications service providers (CSPs) back from fully exploiting the benefits of AI. In a new survey carried out by TM Forum, more than half of respondents said that while some data sharing happens across their organizations, significant barriers remain. Indeed, only two of our 87 respondents – the majority senior IT and network executives – characterized their company’s data as “fully democratized, with seamless access and integration across the entire organization”.

Lack of data accessibility and quality is a major roadblock to deploying AI at scale. As CSPs look to drive innovation, improve customer experience and reduce costs through automation, the ability to manage and leverage vast volumes of structured and unstructured data becomes mission critical.
