How does TM Forum help you to achieve your digital transformation objectives? The Salesforce platform is fully aligned with TM Forum best practices and also aligns with the TM Forum Open APIs framework and even recently joined the TM Forum Open API Manifesto. Salesforce was honored to receive this year’s Business Transformation Excellence Award (together with Vlocity) for the successful digital transformation at KPN, and has also led the innovative ‘Driver Connect’ Catalyst (together with Jaguar-Land Rover, Nokia, Cerillion and TechSee), winning the ‘Outstanding CurateFx ecosystem design’ Catalyst award.

How is the convergence of networks and IT affecting the relationship between CSPs and suppliers? We see many telecom providers around the world adopting more and more cloud-based platforms in order to increase IT and business agility and reduce total cost of ownership. This is why many traditional network equipment suppliers as well as IT suppliers realize they need to accelerate their cloud offerings. Furthermore, some suppliers realize they must join forces with other suppliers and create better integration and joint value in order to improve stickiness.

What are the biggest challenges your company faces in promoting diversity and what initiatives does it have to become a more diverse and inclusive workforce? Equality is one of our core values.
