Originally divided into two volumes with the first assessing the state of play in IT procurement today, this report now also includes concrete steps for improving and in some cases overhauling CSPs' procurement processes. This is one of the most comprehensive research projects the Research & Media team has undertaken. Since last September when we started the project, we have conducted in-depth briefings with 35 major telecoms organizations. They include CSPs across five continents with a combined base of 2.5 billion mobile subscribers and the world’s largest IT vendors and systems integrators. Such an enormous project would not be possible without this input, so we thank everyone who participated. In particular we’d like to thank the sponsors of the report: Amdocs, China Mobile, Huawei, MYCOM OSI, Reliance Jio and SAP. Read this report to understand:
