Tech trends shaping the Communications industry
February 22, 2018
Communications technology is now firmly embedded throughout our everyday activities but its reach is larger than that: Telecommunications companies are using their products and services to reshape, reimagine, and transform how our society, communicates and, since a digital two-way connection is at the core of our daily routines then society could also be transforming the way we communicate. The current technological transformations in communications are a two-way street.
According to the global Accenture Technology Vision 2018 Survey, 86 percent of Communications business and IT executives surveyed agree that through technology, companies are weaving themselves seamlessly into the fabric of how people live today.
"With all of the regulation, digital disruption and industry changes, it is important that telcos harness the technology available to them. Our Tech Vision helps clients plan that journey and make significant leaps forward."
