Will Agentic AI solve the telco OSS integration challenge?
Agentic AI supported by open source MCP holds great promise for simplifying integration and facilitating information transfer necessary for advanced automation. But while there’s early pro
AI in telco automation – progress and opportunities
This We Are CORTEX white paper examines how AI is reshaping telecom automation, from early use in fraud detection and network optimisation to AI-native 6G architectures. It reviews industry
Composable IT and process fragments
The paper shows how CORTEX applies Composable IT to telecoms automation by breaking processes into reusable, interoperable Process Fragments. Traditional service creation relied on complex
Is the TMF Open Digital Architecture the ultimate destination for the adoption of composability?
The TMF Open Digital Architecture promises to provide a unified approach to both APIs and process management – but many legacy systems and functions will never migrate to ODA. What’s nee
Composable IT in telecoms – is it a pathway to automation?
Composability allows us to integrate different systems – both inside our networks and externally. Internally, this provides a means to implement new levels of process automation. How? Comp
Telecoms fraud and cyber risks
Telcos face an increasingly complex cybersecurity threat surface due to technologies like IoT, 5G, and cloud computing, which introduce new vulnerabilities and increase data volumes. Organis
How a security-first mindset depends on automation
Telecoms providers face rising security risks as 5G expands the attack surface with IoT, cloud, and virtualisation. Fraud costs reached nearly $39 billion in 2022, while breaches and credent
Is telco optimisation a big-bang activity, or should it be targeted towards micro improvements?
While automation transformations may gain the attention of the boardroom, they can be risky, require significant investment, and are rarely fully completed. Taking a micro-improvements appro
Consolidating, simplifying and optimising the OSS – getting ready for Level 4 automation: Part 3
Optimisation is Stage 3 in CORTEX’s automation framework, following consolidation and simplification. It aims to reduce cost, risk, and inefficiency by refining processes across telecom ne
