In a recent keynote at Mobile Europe's Telco to Techco, Christoph Aeschlimann, CTO & CIO, Swisscom gave a presentation on 'Redefining telco for the digital age'. During the presentation he highlighted the challenges of being a 170 year old operator, from infrastructure to processes and mindset.
To overcome these challenges, Christoph believes that a three pronged approach will be needed as highlighted in the image below:
- Disaggregation of Hardware and Software
- Telcos need to be become software companies
- AI and automation to create new opportunities
Swisscom following footsteps of other telcos like VF & AT&T in asserting importance of inhouse software expertise

The current CEO of Swisscom, Urs Schaeppi, is stepping down from his role as a CEO and the Board of Directors has elected Christoph Aeschlimann as the new CEO of Swisscom. This will allow him to implement his vision of transitioning to a software company where many of the tools will be developed in house.
The presentation below is definitely worth listening to, along with the interesting Q&A at the end. Kudos to him for tackling all difficult questions on how they plan to transition to a software company going forward and how they will operate.
Interested in knowing your thoughts.
