Coincidentally, we at Subex believe this to be an apt indicator of things to come at the 12th Subex Annual User conference, happening in the magical city of Prague. In a city famous for its spectacular architecture and scenic beauty, we at Subex feel excited about the ground-breaking sessions planned for our esteemed guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the past year we, both operators and partners, have seen the rise of new threats and hidden opportunities. We have seen margins getting further squeezed by the nimble tactics of OTT players, and conversely we have also seen some operators take bold new steps to capitalize new technologies. We have seen the magic of LTE establish the foundation of our collective next steps in the telecommunications industry, both in terms of defining the new business ecosystems which would evolve, as well as how and what services we would deliver. In a way, we are going back to basics \u2013 observe, study, understand and compete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following up on the success of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_3swq5dQem0&amp;list=UUh__7Di1-6LT_bLG2GLkplg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 User conference<\/a>, this year Subex is pulling out all the stops in terms of pushing the boundaries of innovation in business optimization. This time around, it\u2019s going to be about looking to the future and preparing for agile transformation today. The day and age of \u201cbuilt to last\u201d solutions might be seeing it\u2019s official sunset. A new era is upon is &#8211; The era of \u201cbuilt to change\u201d solutions. When operators are grappling with the vast product possibilities now open to them, it becomes of paramount importance that associated risks can be handled at the pace of business. To help us gaze into the crystal ball, we\u2019ve reached out to industry stalwarts like<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Simon Torrance \u2013 Futurist &amp; Senior Advisor on Digital Innovation, Analysys Mason<br \/>\nMark Zmigrodski \u2013 Manager Fraud Investigations at AT&amp;T &amp; Director \u2013 CFCA<br \/>\nMike Willet \u2013 Executive Director at Ernst &amp; Young<br \/>\nPaul Fedarb \u2013 Head of GTM UK Billing &amp; Collection at BT Group<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My good friend Eric Priezkalns, Co-founder at Commsrisk returns this year as the event\u2019s chairman . Last year his ability to bring the speaker and the audience closer together in meaningful discussion (and debate) ensured that all of us took away the best from all the sessions. Beyond the speaking participants, we have a full roster of industry leaders and active voices in the risk &amp; assurance community like Amit Agrawal (Group Director, RAFM at Etisalat), Edward Granillo (Director, TeliaSonera Group-wide RAFM), Pedro Bravo (Revenue Assurance and Credit Scoring Manager at NOS), Ahmed Saleh Benatif (Director of RA at STC) and the list just goes on. In such a rich gathering of domain experts, I for one would expect something fantastic to emerge from the planned sessions. The sessions themselves are keyed towards focused discussions around emerging technologies, evolving risk frameworks and a little bit of magic (by yours truly).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In keeping with the theme of Prague, Subex also plans to spring a few pleasant surprises for our esteemed customers. Rest assured, we are confident that this would be a User Conference that won\u2019t be soon forgotten. We are looking forward to breaking new ground, and jointly going where no risk management expert has gone before!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most commonly used greeting, Dobr\u00fd den, means \u201cGood Day\u201d in Czech.
