Automation has always been essential to running an agile and efficient CSP. However, using digital transformation, CSPs are discovering new opportunities to deliver new network services over software-defined cloud networks such as 5G. The problem is that offering these new, flexible services is complex and requires an evolution of practices for more effective orchestration and management.

In this edition’s insider interview, Amdocs’ Eyal Shaked explains to George Malim, the managing editor of VanillaPlus, how CSPs can leverage automation to combine their existing systems with next-generation intelligent OSS and unlock new revenue streams.

Plus, we look at a case study of how Amdoc is partnering with CSP vendors to handle the complexity of the 5G ecosystem. In our analyst report, Bob Emmerson and Robin Duke-Woolley from Beecham Research investigate how to leverage private 5G into transformative connectivity for IoT. With more on 5G, cybersecurity, origin-based ratings, and communications IT events in 2023, you don’t want to miss it.
