As Snowflake rolls out its new Telecom Data Cloud, “Data Cloud Now” host Ryan Green sits down with Phil Kippen, Global Head of Industry, Telecom, at Snowflake, to discuss what it all means for telecom service providers. During the interview, Kippen notes that the arrival of 5G creates new market opportunities but also new operational complexities for telecom service providers as they take on the task of rolling out new services and managing new infrastructure. He explains that the rollout of the Telecom Data Cloud will help companies achieve operational efficiencies by providing a single, unified platform across all domains and business functions within the telecom service provider environment and across all clouds. In addition, Snowflake will help service providers create a new marketplace that will enhance their ability to find new ways to monetize their data and applications and will help them work with partners across the telecom ecosystem to develop new opportunities for collaboration and data sharing.
