The digital transformation ambitions of many organisations are being stifled by continued dependence of legacy technology, in particular on networks designed for a different set of challenges to those we face today.

Organisations are all too often committed not only to networks that are no longer fit for purpose, but to sourcing their network infrastructure from a single vendor. What is needed are more open networks, made up of individual components that can be purchased from a variety of different vendors and managed seamlessly as an integrated whole. With an open network, it is possible to choose from best-in-class components. In this online event we consider the latest developments in open networking and help map out a likely exit strategy from dependence on legacy. What operating systems will facilitate this? Who are the leading names in open connectivity? Erin Dunne, Director of Research Services at Vertical Systems Group will head up a panel of experts, offering their views and opening themselves up to a media Q&A at the end.
