Vodafone, Cyient Launch AI-Powered Network Management Solution

Vodafone and Cyient have launched VISMON, a new AI-driven network configuration management platform designed to streamline network operations. The solution aims to improve network management efficiency through data-driven analytics.

The collaboration combines Vodafone’s telecommunications expertise with Cyient’s engineering solutions. VISMON unifies configuration data and inventory across multiple Vodafone markets, enhancing visibility, detecting anomalies, and driving more efficient decision-making. 

“VISMON provides the strategic foundation to oversee configuration data across all markets, enabling us to harmonise practices, identify best-performing setups, and optimise our networks more effectively,” Mostafa Noureldien, Vodafone’s manager of network development digital strategy, said.

VISMON has already delivered significant improvements, including a 70% reduction in the time spent compiling reports and three times faster decision-making. It is expected to reduce errors caused by inconsistent configurations by 50%. 

It uses AI to integrate configuration data and logical and physical inventory, improving network management efficiency across various Vodafone markets.

Joaquim Croca, vice president at Cyient, commented, “This AI-driven platform exemplifies how intelligent automation and data-led insights can drive real impact—delivering agility, consistency, and strategic clarity at scale.”

Last year, Vodafone and Microsoft announced a 10-year strategic partnership focusing on generative AI. The aim was to utilise their strengths in providing digital platforms to over 300 million businesses, public sector organisations, and consumers in Europe and Africa.

Vodafone was to invest $1.5 billion over the next decade in cloud and customer-focused AI services developed with Microsoft. The partnership would transform Vodafone’s customer experience using Microsoft’s generative AI, scale Vodafone’s managed IoT connectivity platform, develop new digital and financial services, and revamp its global data centre cloud strategy.
