Platinum Sponsor of CTU 30^th Anniversary
Celebration

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad–(BUSINESS WIRE)–“Why are we not further along in our path to digitally transform the
region?” was the question posed by Liberty Latin America’s (LLA) Chief
Legal Officer, John Winter, to a packed audience that included Caribbean
Government Ministers and Telecommunications policymakers and operators
at the Opening Ceremony of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU)
30^th Anniversary celebration on Monday, April 29^th.

Winter outlined that LLA, the parent company of C&W Communications which
operates the Flow brand, is moving the region forward with “digital
enhancements that include updating our self-care MyFlow app, the
addition of virtual assistants to our websites and enabling user
interface prompts for our automated call center.” In closing, he
congratulated the CTU on their milestone and urged governments “to
create a level playing field where incumbents and new entrants can
operate side by side and can offer the best digital products and
services for their citizens.”

As part of the three-day conference held at the Hyatt Regency Convention
Center in Port of Spain, the CTU presented “Caribbean FutureScape,” a
real-time experience of what a digitally transformed Caribbean could
look like. Participants were immersed in a simulation of a confederation
of 5 Caribbean countries whose governments collaborated and cooperated
to use information and communication technologies (ICT) to accelerate
the social and economic development of their countries.

Vivek Khemka, Chief Technology and Product Officer, LLA, presented on
Day Two as one of five Lightning presentations on disruptive digital
technology and how voice technology and virtual assistants can enable
the unconnected to participate in the digitally transformed Caribbean.
Voice assistants will provide a simpler interaction paradigm that allows
users to access the internet without the need of special digital
training. In closing he invited public private partnerships to enable
high speed infrastructure, simpler rules across the region and
incentives to enable citizens to use a “hands-free” interface and
connect to the internet to enhance their lives.

On Day Three, speaking as part of a Panel on the topic of “Embracing the
Cloud,” geared towards Governments and large enterprises, Flow Barbados’
Country Manager and Head of C&W Business, Southern Caribbean, Jenson
Sylvester answered the often-asked question, “what is cloud computing”?
He gave the audience a brief but simple explanation on the benefits of
utilizing cloud technology, including the value and economies of scale
that accrue to users of cloud services.

C&W Business also hosted a booth at the conference where it showcased
solutions and services as the company supports the transition toward a
digitally transformed experience for business customers.
