Connecting the digital ecosystem
Welcome you to this edition of Perspectives, the Forum’s annual deep dive into the global issues and challenges our members and other companies face as they work to build and connect the digital ecosystem.
Although the pace of change is dizzying, the future is bright for digital business. Never before have we been more connected to one another. According to GMSA, the number of unique mobile subscribers at the end of 2014 was 3.6 billion – that means half of the world’s population now subscribes to mobile services. By 2020, 60 percent will.
The Internet of Things is growing even more rapidly, with projections of 30 billion to 50 billion connected devices by 2020.
This means huge opportunities and challenges for digital service providers.
In last year’s issue, we talked about the traits of a successful digital business. This year, we are talking about making digital business real, also the theme of TM Forum Live! 2015, which will take place in Nice, France, in June.
Just how can companies capitalize on the digital revolution and turn it in to real profit? It certainly isn’t easy, but it is possible, especially if you commit to using proven, repeatable processes in the underlying platforms.
We hope you enjoy Perspectives 2015 and we welcome your feedback.
With thanks to our sponsors. See the full sponsor profile listing now.
