My colleague Faheem Tabassum reminds us that the Australian Government has an initiative to fund MVP development around enterprise #5G.

#5G will be transformational for enterprises the future success of the Australian economy, so it’s great to see the Australian Government announce details of their grant for the 5G Innovation Initiative. yesopt.us/oa #Optus #OptusEnterprise #5GforEnterprise

Business imperatives will influence #connectivity technology choices. Whether this means #AI support for chatbots, customer support by video, or sales fulfillment integrating vast amounts of #data, all will require programmable capacity inside the organisation.

Building flexible, adaptive workplaces will be a priority for organisations as they regroup for growth. I think the discussion now changes, to much-broader, more-strategic ideas of network flexibility. More in my article... optus.com.au/enterprise/acc…

I think these will be some of the questions that enterprises will increasingly ask their connectivity vendor partners in the future: #cloud #infrastructure #cybersecurity #security

I'm delighted about joining this panel - Pushing Boundaries as a Women Leader in Tech - as part of #IWD2021 - I'd love you to join us... zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Creating and building flexible & adaptive workplaces will clearly be priorities as organisations regroup for growth post-Covid. I think the discussion will move to more-strategic ideas of network flexibility, built around flexible business strategies.bit.ly/3e2MTvz

My path to becoming Vice President of Customer Solutions & Cloud at Optus was driven by my long-standing passion for science and tech. To celebrate #IWD21 I’ve shared my experiences as a woman in the #STEM field. I’d love to hear yours too! lnkd.in/gcN5VU9 #diversity

Enterprise #5G will also of course be an enabling technology for new types of cloud and edge services. 5G brings high-speed cloud access ever-closer to the organisation.

Making choices about connectivity technology will be replaced by seeking new cloud services and capacity, built on technology, designed to embed flexibility in an organisation.

In the network infrastructure space, I think the conversation is changing to focus on how new, hybrid workplace deliver new customer experiences. Much of that will inevitably focus on the cloud, but in a more-nuanced and detailed way. #cloud #HybridCloud #hybridworkspace

Making choices about connectivity technology will be replaced by seeking new cloud & related edge-computing services & capacity. This is a key part to building flexible and adaptive enterprises. #cloud #digitaltransformation #hybridcloud bit.ly/3e2MTvz

The traditional relationships between network vendors & enterprises will change. Organisations will seek consulting-style engagement with vendor partners, on best-practice, business processes, technology options, integration models. #cloud #businesstransformation

Cloud is first and foremost an enabling technology - but it's also a business enabler. This announcement by Singtel and Optus with Amazon Web Services adds to our portfolio of cloud services. #cloud #hybridcloud #cloudsecurity

#5G, #Edge cloud, hybrid #cloud options take the benefits of predictable cost & capacity in legacy networks to the next level. New enterprise services, new enterprise practices, programmable capacity now become possible. Enterprises can adapt in new ways. bit.ly/3e2MTvz

Council bins. Prescription dosage metering. Remote window locking monitoring. The connection? New services become possible, enabled by cloud connectivity across a whole range of options from 5G to programmable networks. More in my new article. bit.ly/3dYy77u #5G #cloud

New ways to engage customers start with an IDEA: Infrastructure, Data, Enterprise, Applications. My recent article dives into this concept - using my local council's garbage bins as a case study... lnkd.in/gRqX8DD #hybridcloud #5G

Cloud is an enabling technology, but it's now much more than that. It's the foundation of the enterprise. Through conversations with clients, we realise this is not 'cloud first', it's ‘cloud sensible'. More in my new article at bit.ly/2RajKWc. #cloud #hybridcloud

The past 12 months have re-set the global economy. Optus Enterprise & Business MD Chris Mitchell takes a look at what this means for enterprises, and how they can create new technology strategies for a still-dynamic world.
