The telco now plans to build “a powerful new integrated data platform with the added capability of processing and moving huge volumes of data globally from multiple systems into the cloud.”
The new platform will be called “Nucleus” and will be capable of ingesting 50 terabytes of data each day, from sources across Vodafone’s global operations and the SAP rig it will move to the G-Cloud.

An app running on the platform, named “Dynamo”, will let the carrier “more quickly offer its customers new, personalised products and services across multiple markets.”
Dynamo also appears to have a role informing networking configurations, as Vodafone promises it will allow “smart network features, such as providing a sudden broadband speed boost.” The carrier says the app will also it to “precisely match network roll-out to consumer demand, increase capacity at critical times, and use machine learning to predict, detect, and fix issues before customers are aware of them.”

A Digital Twin of Vodafone’s operations will also be built in the G-Cloud.
Google’s helping Vodafone to build Nucleus, making this a win for the cloudy contender for both IaaS and consulting. And maybe for its Anthos multi-cloud Kubernetes , too, as Google says Vodafone is working with “the latest hybrid cloud technologies from Google Cloud.” ®

"quickly offer its customers new, personalised products"
And besides a mobile/internet connection, what other products do they have to offer? Or they mean they will just try to extract as much money as possible form customers for the same product?
Re: "quickly offer its customers new, personalised products"
You are the product. They'll be "sharing" your data with anyone who'll stuff up for it.
Re: "quickly offer its customers new, personalised products"
If experience is anything to go by, you will find unexplained charges in your monthly bills for things you have never agreed to, heard of, seen or used but apparently have in the contract you haven't signed.
If a sales drone/customer support from Vodafone ever calls you never use the word yes in the conversation at all as it will be used as permission to go ahead and supply you with some rubbish that you don't want.
Bingo
So it's a big expensive thing with lots of buzzwords, that no-one actually knows what to do with?
Nucleus
I'm pretty sure that's already been used in Silicon Valley.
Life imitating art?
