Communications has evolved from convenience to necessity. For customers, there is no longer fixed or wireless, voice, data or video – only devices and applications. Televisions, handsets, vehicles, sensors and any variety of ‘things’ are the devices, while voice, text, video, banking, spreadsheets, payroll, supply chain and more are applications in the cloud. Connectivity is transparent, and delivering reliable digital services requires the seamless integration of multiple partners and technology suppliers worldwide but this is incredibly difficult to pull off.
