IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS MORE OF A MISSION…(AND WE DECIDED TO ACCEPT IT )
December 2014, Paris, FranceSebastian Schumann: “Real-World Challenges For An Operator”, Upperside WebRTC Conference 7
MISSION
PREMISES IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR
Live up to our name with regard to WebRTC
Yes, Innovation within a Telco
Make WebRTC paradigm tangible for all
It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times
Eat our own dog food
And make colleagues eat it, too

TECHNOLOGY & MARKETING

WHAT WE FOUND OUT
Indirectly involved units more likely to come with great use cases
E.g. call center, CRM, IT, HR
Have not heard details about it and are not biased
Why? To solve their problems.

IT IS BETTER TO SEE SOMETHING…
Classic 1:1 audio/video
P2P conference audio/video
Screen share
Trials/PoCs (no RfPs yet)
Many independent, a few supported
+ focus on one service
December 2014, Paris, FranceSebastian Schumann: “Real-World Challenges For An Operator”, Upperside WebRTC Conference 14
TELEKOM ‘CLICK TO COMMUNICATE’ SIGNATURE
Aims adapted
Complete in-house development as side project
High level presentations
Gradually involved (and excited) more people
“Spread the word” from many different angles
December 2014, Paris, FranceSebastian Schumann: “Real-World Challenges For An Operator”, Upperside WebRTC Conference 15
C-PEAK
Unique links built from mail address
Audio/video/messaging
No telephony or other legacy elements
No passwords
No one-size-fits-all: Many features consciously omitted (directory, collaboration, conferencing, PSTN)

Lessons learned from internal development

TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT
Corporate network environment
Media traversal
Internal APIs
Processes
Policies
Default browser
Some questions still open (e.g. LI, security)
December 2014, Paris, FranceSebastian Schumann: “Real-World Challenges For An Operator”, Upperside WebRTC Conference 18
CULTURAL
NT + IT belong together
Business/Marketing + Technology
Why?
We have alternatives?!
Only non-supported browsers?!
Acceptance for unusual activities
Communication services is a sensitive area

PERSONAL
Prototyping = learning
Showing things important to convince
Reflecting outside company very important
Conferences, Twitter, etc.
