KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Service provider, Cisco Systems Inc and ICT company, TIM Group announced a major agreement aimed at accelerating Italy's digitisation, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), yesterday.
In a joint statement, the two companies said they were engaged in developing a joint business and innovation programme.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed in the framework of Digitaliani, the three-year investment plan launched by Cisco in January 2016, whose objectives are well aligned with TIM's digitisation programme.
Industrial players, public and private sector players, and research centre start-ups will be involved in creating and implementing evolutionary projects to accelerate digitisation to improve the lives of citizens.
"Cisco is deeply committed to helping drive digital acceleration in Italy, and we are proud to partner with TIM to foster an ecosystem that will combine Cisco's unique position in the IoT, Industry 4.0 and Smart Cities with TIM's leadership in managed digital services to create a new wave of solutions for the enterprise, public sector and small business.
"What Cisco is doing with TIM is setting the standard, in many respects, for the digital transformation partnership model we are building in many countries around the world.
"This partnership also truly places the network at the centre of Italy's digital transformation," said Cisco chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), Chuck Robbins.
Meanwhile, TIM's CEO, Amos Genish said digitisation would be the most important factor of TIM transformation, helping the company to deliver the best customer experience, integrating service simplicity and a complete offer.
"We want to improve our customers' life but we also want to support Italy's development and a simpler way to access digital services for citizens, companies and public sector organisations," he added.
This MoU shows that the two companies share the same vision for the future of Italy where digital transformation is key to driving growth, and innovation is meant to better serve the needs of companies, public sector organisations and citizens.
