Vodafone hosted an analyst and investor briefing on 05 March to focus on how it is leveraging technology to compete in an increasingly fast-moving environment. It will highlight how the group is adapting to take advantage of the opportunities arising from customer demand for higher quality, speed and functionality. The day will be led by CEO Arun Sarin, with presentations led by Global Chief Technology Officer Steve Pusey. He will demonstrate how Vodafone is managing the balance between reducing costs, delivering growth and enabling innovation. As of Q3 of its FY 2007/2008, Vodafone had delivered cost savings of GBP 410 million against its May 2006 targets, split between its network supply chain (GBP 310 million) and data centres (GBP 100 million). Vodafone had set a deadline of May 2008 to achieve these goals, and has now met and exceeded them ahead of schedule.
