Openreach leverages technology to drive business: Openreach CTIO

Openreach CTIO Colin Lees believes that a CSP should leverage advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics and robotic process automation (RPA) to drive transformational business value. In a fireside chat, he discusses the company’s strategic partnership with Infosys.

Building a fiber network at scale

Colin emphasizes the need of a plug-and-play network and IT integration with minimal code. Openreach partners with Infosys to roll out Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network in the United Kingdom.

Innovation

Colin highlights the innovative solutions developed jointly by Openreach and Infosys to provide a superior customer experience. He shares how the Enterprise Intelligent Virtual Assistant (EiVA), chatbot uses AI to serve customers and reduce inbound calls by 50%. In addition, the award-winning MyServices app for the partner ecosystem enables engineers to accelerate troubleshooting and resolution of service issues.
