Key OSS Modernization Challenges
A number of factors are driving the need for Operational Support System (OSS) transformation:
Monetization
Communication service providers (CSPs) are under pressure to monetize their networks more quickly by delivering new digital services and enhanced user experiences.
Complexity
Operational costs and complexity continue to increase with the evolution to cloud-based services and cloud-native IT.
Growth
The system sprawl and high integration tax associated with the customized legacy OSS are negatively impacting CSP’s ability to grow.
