Deloitte prepares for the 5G revolution


Advanced connectivity – and 5G in particular – is about to transform
industries and companies. A panel from Deloitte explains why.
5G represents a turning point for enterprise
technology and digital transformation.
A panel of communications and technology
experts from Deloitte has come together
to explain why advanced connectivity is a
game changer.
Rob Kasegrande is a managing director
in Deloitte’s Technology, Media and
Telecommunications (TMT) practice and
leads Deloitte’s 5G and Edge Computing
practice. “Our clients are looking at
advanced connectivity solutions as a way
to gain advantage, whether it’s by creating
new revenue models or creating innovative
efficiencies in their operations, or just
operating with a more agile and digital
infrastructure.”
Jack Fritz is a principal in Deloitte’s TMT
practice and also leads the 5G and Edge
Computing practice. He adds, “We work
with clients to help them understand
the opportunities and potential risks
associated with 5G and edge computing.
And then we help them design, build
and operate their solutions, including
the underlying infrastructure with our
ecosystem partners, and ultimately realize
value for their business.”
Deloitte is working with SAP to bring
frictionless ecosystems to businesses.
Jerry Hoberman, Principal and Americas
SAP practice leader at Deloitte, says,
“We’re spending a lot of time with SAP
to both architect and engineer industry
cloud solutions. The success of those
solutions is really dependent on having a
clean ERP and, more importantly, being able
to unlock industry-specific edge solutions
and microservices to where the value is.”

“It’s a tectonic shift,” says Kasegrande.
“5G is going to connect billions of devices
using an advanced network and be able
to consume massive amounts of data at
higher speeds with higher reliability. With
edge, processing the data will be real-time,
which will lead to real-time operations
and decisioning across industries. For
example, in manufacturing you can
automate quality sensing and preventative
maintenance. In retail, you can have real-
time personalization and pricing while
your customer is standing in an aisle.”
For Fritz, it’s this use case diversity that
presents opportunities. “The way that 5G
is architected is far more modular than
in the past. Some organizations will need
massive device density, some will need low
latency, and the way in which you architect,
design and deploy the network to meet
these needs may vary. ”
Frictionless, is Hoberman’s keyword for
the 5G revolution. “Frictionless commerce
results in faster results and greater value
through speed, reliability, edge, modularity,
and security.”
