About The Vendor Innovators
The Innovators started out for us as a niche report where Mobile Operators were asking us to understand which vendors were making a big difference to our industry. But in 2021 looking around us, we’re in a Black Swan scenario and the need to adapt and innovate is something vital to the new normal world we are facing for all Vendors, so the response to this specific research project has been broader than usual. All Roaming and Interconnect vendors are brainstorming these days, while boardrooms are virtual, we all face the reality of a crisis in our industry. The companies ready to innovate will be the ones most likely who will survive the journey.
About this Research Project and Report
Over the last 9 years ROCCO has had a simple goal, to study where we are today within the Roaming and Interconnect Industry and to try and support its future development. As the MNO and Vendor communities know too well, technology is developing at an incredible pace (5G, IoT, eSIM) and yet still some of the ways which we deliver these technologies are extremely costly, inefficient and even harmful to the future success of the telecoms industry.
The Vendor Innovators Methodology
Up to 3 innovations are allowed. Vendors will receive a guide “Welcome pack” of how to make the best from the research.
We have 8 stages of project recognition which can bring visibility for the innovation and vendor:
- Notification through all our channels of your entry into the project
- Vendor presents their innovation at the Showcase sessions 1st and 2nd Feb 2022
- Video presentations from the Showcase sessions will also be added to this page
- Notification to all MNOs of the Innovative solutions
- Listed on roccogenesis.com as a speaker at Genesis 2022
- Free attendance 1 speaker at Genesis May 2022 to present the idea to the audience
- Visionaries gala our awards ceremony on 17th May
- Free Report for the industry to review
The videos of the presentations will be available to facilitate the MNO voting.
The Operator Vote counts for 50% of the score. The Lions Den vote a further 25% and the Genesis Audience vote a final 25%.
- The Lions (all people from MNOs) will rate their innovations. 25% of the overall score.
- Then the audience at Genesis will also have a chance to rate the idea. 25% of the overall score.
- A free report will be published for the industry to review the innovations.
THIS APPROACH WILL IDENTIFY THE MOST INNOVATIVE VENDORS IN OUR INDUSTRY AND ALLOW US TO SEE WHICH VENDORS ARE REALLY WORKING ON R&D AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE INDUSTRY.
THE REPORT WILL COVER AN ANALYSIS OF THE TOP INNOVATIVE VENDORS IN THE ROAMING AND INTERCONNECT SECTOR OF THE TELECOM INDUSTRY AND CONTAIN THE RANKING.
