Revolutionizing Network Operations: How Colt and Amdocs Delivered a Cloud-Native, AI-Ready Inventory Transformation

In this exclusive video from MWC25, Roy Chua (Founder and Principal, Avid Think) sits down with Ashish Surti (Chief Digital and Information Officer, Colt Technology Services) and Oleg Volpin (President Europe, Telefonica Global and Network Offering Division, Amdocs) to unpack one of the most ambitious and successful network inventory transformations in the telecom industry.

Faced with the challenge of integrating systems post-acquisition, Colt partnered with Amdocs to replace a decades-old monolithic platform with a modern, cloud-native, and scalable solution. The result? A unified inventory system that not only supports real-time data access and automation but also lays the foundation for GenAI, digital twins, and advanced customer experience capabilities.

This transformation wasn’t just about technology—it was a business-led, IT-delivered initiative that emphasized trust, co-creation, and long-term value. From cleaning over 4 million data attributes to enabling real-time network synchronization, this project is a blueprint for telcos aiming to modernize, scale, and innovate.
