The platform supports ecosystem innovation by enabling software developers to build products through a software-development toolkit (SDK). A suite of Ericsson rApps with field-proven capabilities will be made available on the platform across four domains: efficient automated deployment; network healing; network evolution; and network optimization. The suite will continue to grow in collaboration with customers.
Jan Karlsson, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Digital Services, Ericsson, says: “We embrace the principle of openness and the evolution to open network architectures. Building upon our Cloud RAN offering, we are taking another major step towards building the network for the digital future with the launch of Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform, which fundamentally enables smarter mobile networks. We look forward to providing our customers with an open platform that enables operational efficiency, enhances customer experience and drives service innovation. I am happy to hear the reactions from our customers already being positive towards our new product and we look forward to future development and innovation.”
Neil McRae, MD Architecture & Strategy, BT Group Chief Architect, says: “At BT we connect for good and continuously innovate to provide the best services for our customers. As we expand and modernize building more reliable networks in more places, managing network complexity via automation is critical to ensure our customers best quality of experience. I’m pleased to see that Ericsson is launching the Intelligent Automation Platform for automating networks, based on the O-RAN Alliance Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) concept. Ericsson’s vision to extend that SMO concept to support both Open RAN and existing 4G and 5G networks, using a single operational pane-of-glass is an innovative approach.”
Toshikazu Yokai, Executive Officer, Chief Director of Mobile Technology, KDDI, says: “KDDI recognizes the importance of Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) and automation to achieve optimal network operations across multi-vendor, purpose-built RAN and Open RAN environments. SMO combined with an open software-development toolkit (SDK) has the potential to drive application (rApps) innovation and diversity, unleashing CSP, telecommunications vendor and third-party software provider innovation to optimize network performance, improve operational efficiency and drive superior customer experiences. KDDI expects SMO and the Non-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Non-RT-RIC) to fine-tune RAN behavior and to assure SLAs dynamically based on slice specific service requirements. KDDI looks forward to collaborating with Ericsson to explore the potential of these solutions.”
Sue Rudd, Director Networks and Service Platforms, Strategy Analytics, says: “Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform brings scalability, performance and operations simplicity to the increasingly complex environment of mobile networks, including purpose-built and Open RAN. Ericsson’s long-demonstrated expertise in radio networking and end-to-end network slicing, in parallel with its active participation in the O-RAN Alliance and leadership in ONAP network automation, have enabled it to create this powerful platform to assist customers to maximize their ROI through smart delivery of high-quality services to their end-customers. Ericsson’s proven record of multi-vendor service orchestration and open operations automation make it an excellent partner for rApps developers and systems integrators who can leverage this unique toolkit and development environment.”

Zryon's Console X uses AI to analyse and streamline processes.
Zryon's Console X uses AI to analyse and streamline processes.
Kryon has launched ConsoleX, a robot-centric management platform that the firm says can configure, schedule and manage virtual workforces from any location in real time.
The software runs alongside the company's current Full Cycle Automation v20.3 offering and is based on its NGINX server platform, and according to Kryon, is the only solution of its kind on the market today.
A Virtual Service Management Workforce
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses Artificial Intelligence to configure computer software or robots which work across the user interface to collect data and move applications, mirroring human movement. These 'robots' engage with other systems, working effectively on repetitive tasks with no error rate.
Kryon's application allowing users to manage a virtual workforce assigning workloads and task monitoring as they would with human workers while applying analytics to optimise output.
"An automation project isn't over just because it's up and running. As more and more businesses implement business processes, they need stronger tools to continually monitor, analyze, troubleshoot and scale up their RPA solutions," said Harel Tyab, Kryon's CEO.
"Kryon's Full-Cycle Automation suite, the only solution of its kind on the market today, lives up to its name by ensuring optimal performance from start to finish, it already has a proven track record in the field and a rapidly growing base of happy customers, Tyab added.
RPA is becoming increasingly popular among global enterprises as they scale-up on their automation strategy. However, this year a report from Gartner suggested a disruption could be imminent.
Hyperautomation is an all encompassing approach that seeks to identify and automate as many business processes as possible and as quickly as possible. "It involves the use of a combination of technology tools, including but not limited to machine learning, packaged software and automation tools to deliver work," an introduction to the study said. In it, Gartner argue that RPA, far from being the solution, is now just one part of this new process.
