Building Smarter, Together
Partnerships like these are powering the next generation of AI tools, insights, and capabilities in telecom. The conversation continues from MWC Barcelona 2025 as Amdocs host, Matthew Roberts, sits down with key partners to explore how AI is transforming the telecommunications industry. First up, Matt and Avishai Sharlin from Amdocs welcome Chris Penrose, Global Head of Business Development for Telecom at Nvidia. Together, they unpack the powerful implications of the Amdocs–Nvidia partnership and explore how AI is reshaping every corner of the industry, from customer care and network operations to marketing and supply chain optimization. The conversation wraps with a look toward what integration with technologies like IoT, robotics, and even 6G might bring next. Then, Matt is joined by Jillian Kaplan, AI and Infrastructure Product + Partner Marketing at Dell. Appearing for her fourth insightful conversation on The Great Indoors, Jillian shares how Dell’s AI Factory, alongside partners like Nvidia, is driving new enterprise opportunities. The group also addresses sustainability. While AI requires significant energy to operate, energy is also set to be saved, thanks to AI’s impact on resourcing. Finally, the conversation looks ahead to what’s coming next, from the promise of 6G unlocking even more powerful AI use cases to the rise of unexpected, cross-industry collaborations.

“I think we're also seeing this move toward a term called agentic right. It's how can we create these agents that are specialists in their domains and their capabilities and be able to really solve problems in energetic way. And now we're seeing reasoning coming on top of that. And actually invoking many agents. So this ability to now begin to stitch together multiple agents to work together to solve a problem is it's kind of this next big wave.”

“I think that when three massive companies come together, and you use the super powers of Dell, Nvidia, and Amdocs – amazing things happen and that's it's hard to do. It's not something maybe you would have seen in the past, because it's hard to get three massive engines like that moving in the same direction. I think that that's what makes it so incredibly unique, is that we can all bring our superpowers together to create one massive super power.”

“This is not just about us signing an agreement. I would call it more than a friendship. It's going together to solve the biggest problems the industry is facing today. Some cases we have challenges. And like true partners, we overcome them. We're using a lot of the technologies we're sharing. We're exchanging thoughts. So it's an imperative part of our GenAI strategy. “
