The Power of Open Source

Open source is being embraced by leading organisations globally, not only due to its cost advantage, but to leverage the development advantages open source communities offer.

By its very essence, open source fuels enterprising organizations, because unlike proprietary systems, it enables greater innovation and differentiation, helping companies customize and manage platforms with more flexibility with the ability to rapidly develop and bring new services to the market with scalability and security.

The India Digital Open Summit 2018 would delve into the aspect of leveraging open source platforms through expert sessions on the following topics:

• Indian Telco Ecosystem & Open Source Platforms - ensuring India's Leadership
• Open Source Wi-Fi: Enabling Inclusive Digital India
• Role of Open Source & Big Data on Policy, Technology & Security for a Digital India
• Learnings on Customer Experience Transformation & Impact of Open Source Platforms
• Impact of Open Cellular & Open RAN Offerings on the Telecom Ecosystem
• Customer Experience Transformation: Open Source AI-ML as a Platform

From a technology point of view, the sessions would cover application to blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-scale networking, open compute, AR/VR, real-time analytics and other topics on the open source-spurred digital transformation.
