WELCOME
Hello and welcome to the February edition of Gigabit .
Our cover star this month is Liberty Global , the telecom giant behind brands such as Virgin Media , Telenet and UPC .
As the industry undergoes mammoth changes , Duncan Macdonald , Vice President of Consumer Solutions and Digital Transformation at Liberty Global , discusses how technologies like AI are fueling digital disruption in the telecom space .
“ I know people say it ’ s overhyped but I think in the next two or three years AI will be absolutely key to personalisation ,” says Macdonald .
Elsewhere in the magazine , leading executives from Dell EMC and McLaren Group discuss how there are four strands to any successful digital transformation – IT transformation , digital transformation , security transformation and workforce transformation . “ We ’ re now in a generation where customer-facing technology and the customer experience is vital ,” says Dell EMC ’ s Claire Vyvyan . “ Whether it ’ s cloud-native applications or mobile applications – that ’ s where the true differentiation lies .”
On top of this , we also sit down with Fujitsu ’ s Yves de Beauregard to discuss how digital transformation isn ’ t just about technological flair , it ’ s about delivering business results .
For our top 10 ranking this month , we discover the world ’ s richest technology billionaires and investigate how they made their fortunes .
Don ’ t forget to also read our exclusive digital reports on INEA , Nationwide , Aligned Energy and more .
