NOTAS: | "By 2025, communications service providers (CSPs) will be managing a converged network and IT infrastructure, and network engineers will be software engineers and vice versa. Proprietary solutions will still exist in legacy deployment, but the systems supporting the digital economy will be defined by open standards. Insights from network, service, application, and customer data will be available in real time, and will allow CSPs to dynamically manage efficient operations and deliver qualified value to their customers and shareholders. This report looks at the road to 2025 from an operational perspective and the impact this will have on CSPs’ software and IT systems. This report forms part of Ovum’s Digital Economy 2025 series." |
