90% reduction in AI development time from proof of concept to production, from 20 weeks to 2 weeks
60,000 platform provisioning work hours eliminated by automating deployments
Change failure rate reduced to just 3%
Streamlined AI development across 13 markets, promoting reusability and scalability
Vodafone, a global telecommunications company serving millions of customers, built its unified AI platform, AI Booster, on Google Cloud to accelerate AI development, improve operational efficiency, and deliver enhanced customer experiences.
Vodafone wanted to scale its AI initiatives across multiple markets and streamline development processes. To address these needs, they created AI Booster, a centralized AI platform built on Vertex AI and using Cloud Build. This platform empowers Vodafone's data scientists with pre-built pipelines, standardized tools, and automated deployments, significantly reducing the time it takes to move from proof of concept to production-ready AI solutions. For example, AI Booster spins up environments with pre-configured security and privacy guardrails, automates deployment, and provides pre-built templates, all of which free up data scientists’ capacity to focus on innovation and value creation.
Vodafone selected Vertex AI for its ability to manage the end-to-end ML lifecycle efficiently. Similarly, Vodafone leverages Google Cloud’s latest generative AI capabilities, enabling a quick path to production while ensuring high-quality and effective risk management. Google Cloud's security features further ensured the protection of Vodafone's data and AI models.
Vodafone is a leading European and African telecoms company providing mobile and fixed services to over 330 million customers in 15 countries.
