7. RESULT OF TADHACK TECHNICAL & OPERATIONAL  Working implementation to map fixed & mobile number  But also showcase that:  Solutions to problems are not always complex, even if they seem to be  If internal solutions are not possible or too expensive it does not mean there is no other way  There is a partner ecosystem that is eager to innovate and “do things the new way”  There’s value in breaking out job descriptions (I’m no programmer per definition)  Service creation is as easy as never before, learning to understand the process helps defining and building it November 2015, Lisbon, Portugal S. Schumann: TADSummit 2015 – My Experiences at TADHack as a Telekom Employee 7
8. RESULT FOR SLOVAK TELEKOM  There is also a tangible result!  Service “parallel ringing” launched as part of “Telekom for Home” tablet proposition  TADHack idea + code base used for professional implementation  ST SMS API replaced Nexmo for the SMS part  TeleStax Restcomm cloud offer integrated and part of the self-care solution  Secure communication between TeleStax cloud and ST API enabler  Service logic defined by Slovak Telekom – no vendor CR necessary November 2015, Lisbon, Portugal S. Schumann: TADSummit 2015 – My Experiences at TADHack as a Telekom Employee 8
9. WHERE WAS TAD HELPFUL?  Find new solution provider that understand the need for today’s Telco innovators  Cost savings!   Flexibility, extensibility, openness, agility  Tackle the “gap” between all the thing pure Telco and pure Internet  There’s not much “pure Telco” any longer – why still build services like there is?  Telecoms is not boring, but exciting. So much to be done, still!  Meet smart people and exchange thoughts, share experiences, and learn  Get motivated and bring the spirit of TAD back home! November 2015, Lisbon, Portugal S. Schumann: TADSummit 2015 – My Experiences at TADHack as a Telekom Employee 9 TAD is your fast-track route to understanding the power of new technology in telecoms.
