The coming age of hyper-automation in telco operations demands that multiple systems function as a single, cohesive BSS whole.
This report sets out the drivers for BSS transformation and the 10 must-have features of modern BSS architectures. And we look at CSPs’ aspirations towards partner ecosystems and platform models. As part of our research we conducted a new survey garnering responses from 200 CSP decision-makers, ranging from CIOs to systems engineers.

- What characteristics telcos consider to be must-have features of modern BSS, and why
- Where progressive telcos intend to invest in the BSS space
- How BSS is enabling platform business models and partner ecosystem plays
- The importance of BSS to fulfilling a fully-automated service operations strategy
- How telcos are looking to BSS vendors to help them drive return on investment (RoI) after a decade of heavy 5G deployment.
