How telecom CFOs can make smarter network capex decisions with AI

Telecom CFOs face multi-billion-dollar network capex decisions (5G, fiber, spectrum) often relying on industry benchmarks rather than their own operational data. Databricks Genie, a natural language AI interface built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, lets finance leaders query unified financial, network performance, and customer revenue data without SQL knowledge. By asking plain-English questions across these data domains, CFOs can surface actual ROI history from comparable prior investments in their own network, enabling evidence-based capital allocation rather than reliance on external benchmarks.
