Start: Wednesday 25 November 2020 14:00
End: Wednesday 25 November 2020 15:00
The fifth webinar in the AI4I series took place on Wednesday 25 November. On-demand video recording will be available here from 4th December.
As COVID-19 continues to impact people around the world, governments are trying to protect lives whilst maintaining economic viability, and they are seeking innovative and dynamic solutions to make the right decisions at the right time. Mobile big data (MBD) analytics can help inform decisions that can save lives and reduce the negative impacts experienced by communities.
Building on the series, this webinar served to highlight the roles played by key stakeholders that are necessary to realise impactful and valued mobile analytics services. Showcasing the insights and impact that can be realised, via real world engagement experiences, we were joined by mobile operator Orange to demonstrate the importance of identifying and engaging with relevant stakeholders from the outset of solution development, and finally to highlight how synergies from collaborative efforts can contribute to accelerated uptake.
The session covered the following areas:
- Clarify MBD Ecosystem stakeholders, their roles and responsibilities
- Best practice in MBD solution development
- Orange’s experiences in developing MBD services for COVID-19 & beyond
The webinar provided a deeper level of understanding for operators, governments and NGOs seeking to develop and adopt impactful mobile big data products and services to aid decision-making to combat COVID-19 and beyond.
The audience for this webinar included operators and governments seeking to develop and adopt impactful mobile big data products and services to aid decision making.
