Operators must use cutting-edge transformation software to move beyond connectivity and offer new services for greater revenue growth in the 5G era. This software, particularly on the IT side, must be able to intelligently unify edge cloud, monetize different cloud domains, automate virtual RAN and leverage partner-centric revenue streams for multiple verticals. Operators must create multi-partner business models to monetize 5G and match the rapid pace of innovation in the industry. This will require business models with rapid service innovation and dynamic settlements in a B2B2X setting for consumers, businesses, government agencies and other entities.
A growing number of CSPs are also looking for ways to empower customers with digital-first, omnichannel experiences to differentiate themselves and win market share. This will require new levels of automation to dramatically reduce customer service costs as well as artificial intelligence (AI) to drive loyalty by anticipating customer behavior with personalized engagement through their preferred channel. All of this will require the flexibility and scalability of cloud-native BSS systems to rapidly update service offerings and pricing, implement service innovation and decrease TCO.
