3:09 Why is Telco SaaS important to CSPs right now? NFV, cloud-native --⋗ SaaS

5:28 What are some aspects of operating the network as it transitions to SaaS? BSS, Order-to-cash, Analytics, Security are moving to SaaS

7:37 SaaS enables a new level of business agility. How can we bring that flexibility to telecoms? How does SaaS fit in the build-up of 5G and the opportunities 5G presents? Time-to-Value

10:01 5G's distributed architecture enables new ways of doing business. But a collection of "point solutions" will not be enough to take advantage of that architecture.

14:06 SaaS-enabled automation can break up the monoliths of the "point solutions" and unlock 5G's value.

16:36 "The elephant in the room" - the reliability of SaaS based on public cloud / hyperscale platforms

20:00 How is the split of responsibilities changing between consumers of SaaS, providers of those services - and software developers

22:08 Scenario: how a consumer of SaaS might offload some of the procurement, setup and operations activities onto a SaaS provider; How would that change the scope of work of a CSP's IT department?

23:32 Example: how might SaaS enable a CSP to build new "value chains"?

27:29 Doing business differently in 5G. A CSP as a piece of a larger (business) puzzle

29:31 As an industry, telecoms have in fact already started their journey to SaaS - that happened with NVF

31:50 Putting Mark on the spot: "does Nokia have that problem solved?". How Nokia helps a CSP move to SaaS.

33:44 Wrapping up. As a CSP - where do I start, what is the primary focus when moving to SaaS?
