Building on their existing alliance, Deloitte and Vlocity, Inc. today announced that together they will apply the strength of their portfolios to accelerate 5G adoption and digital transformation for the Media & Entertainment industry. Vlocity, a leading provider of industry-specific cloud software, will deliver cloud and mobile software that enables the potential of global 5G networks, in collaboration with Deloitte’s end-to-end cloud and digital transformation services.

Deloitte and Vlocity already have a track record working together with top telecommunications, media and entertainment companies globally, including Vodafone Hutchison Australia. The expanded relationship includes a coordinated approach to delivery, enablement, integration, innovation and marketing to support digital transformation and new use cases enabled by rapidly emerging 5G technology.

“The incredible potential of 5G, the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, places new demands on subscriber experience management across all media and entertainment companies.

Dean, general manager of Vlocity Media & Entertainment. “For innovative companies embracing the power of 5G, customer experience is not an afterthought — it’s at the very core of the CEO’s agenda. By working closely with Deloitte, we are helping these industry leaders embrace a digital-first strategy and implement industry-specific cloud and mobile applications that help companies succeed during a time of profound disruption and opportunity.”
