Scaling Experience Intelligence: Unifying Insights Across Telstra’s Digital Ecosystem

Mainstage

8.7 million digitally active users. Countless journeys.

telstra
Emir Kazazic Head of Digital Intelligence Telstra

In a digital ecosystem at this scale, the challenge isn’t collecting data—it’s connecting it. When insights remain locked within individual assets, platforms, or teams, the true customer story is fragmented and decision making suffers.

In this session, Emir shares how Telstra is tackling the complexity of a large, multi‑asset digital ecosystem to unlock unified experience intelligence.

You’ll hear how Telstra is aligning experience signals across digital touchpoints to create richer, more actionable insights—enabling teams to understand not just what customers do, but why, and to do so consistently at scale.
