EY has introduced a groundbreaking suite of artificial intelligence tools at MWC Barcelona 2025, aimed at revolutionizing how telecom providers handle their complex network vendor contracts.
At the heart of this new suite is EY Telecom.ai’s Contract Intelligence (CI) agent, an AI-driven solution designed to automate the extraction and analysis of critical contract data.
“Businesses need strong AI-ready data foundations to enable the next frontier of AI,” said Richard Clough, EY’s Chief Data Officer, on LinkedIn.
This innovative suite streamlines data gathering, analysis, and reporting, allowing telecom companies to make faster, AI-powered decisions and reduce manual processing times.
Tackling Telecom Contracts Challenges
As telecom networks undergo rapid modernization, they face the enormous challenge of managing thousands of vendor contracts. These agreements dictate service levels, technical specifications, and cost structures, which are vital for smooth network operations.
Traditional contract management methods often involve time-consuming manual reviews prone to errors. EY’s Telecom.ai introduces a structured, AI-enhanced approach to make contract handling more efficient and precise.
EY Telecom.ai leverages NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies, including:
- NIM microservices and NeMo Retriever for large-scale contract processing.
- NeMo Guardrails for security and compliance.
- NVIDIA Blueprints using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide real-time contract insights.
The suite also features a conversational AI interface, allowing telecom companies to quickly query contract details, automate financial and legal analysis, and model potential supplier scenarios.
