DESCRIPTION:15:45 - 16:00Maximizing NW automation and orchestration to rend
 er a Zero ‘X’ experience – a platform story! Join our Loft session t
 o learn how an end-to-end OSS blueprint is needed to drive the convergence
  strategies of network automation and OSS orchestration by leveraging the 
 power of data and AI. The cognitive intelligence residing in critical data
  is essential to seamlessly correlate and deploy an array of network APIs\
 , which will help drive 'over the top' services beyond connectivity effect
 ively and efficiently. Join us to explore how using virtualization functio
 ns and exposing these APIs through the platform of choice\, drives the str
 ategic initiative of modernizing networks for monetization. Niladri Dutta\
 , Global Head of TMT Consulting & Industry Solutions\, Virtusa 16:00 - 16:
 15AI is not enough: Why telcos need an execution layer for autonomous netw
 orks.The telecom industry has invested heavily in AI\, yet many deployment
 s remain domain-specific and operationally fragmented\, lacking the real-t
 ime business context\, cross-domain coordination\, and operational validat
 ion needed for trusted autonomy. This session explores why the next barrie
 r to autonomous networks is not AI insight alone\, but AI’s ability to c
 oordinate\, execute\, and validate actions across complex\, multi-vendor e
 nvironments. Achieving TM Forum Level 4 and 5 autonomy requires a shift fr
 om AI as an analytical tool to agentic AI as an execution layer that can t
 urn real-time intelligence into coordinated action\, continuous validation
 \, and ongoing optimization. It also requires greater standardization in h
 ow agents communicate\, exchange context\, trigger workflows\, and operate
  across vendor and domain boundaries. Through use cases such as closed-loo
 p network optimization\, SLA assurance\, and automated incident resolution
 \, we will demonstrate how autonomous agents can detect issues\, assess se
 rvice and customer impact\, perform root-cause analysis\, trigger targeted
  testing\, execute corrective actions\, and validate outcomes in a continu
 ous feedback loop\, enabling more adaptive\, resilient\, and self-optimizi
 ng networks.Minerve Mampaka\, Product Manager\, Infovista
