The Telecommunication Industry Today
Telecommunication companies face a number of challenges. Rolling out new Internet protocol (IP) based services, costs control, and customers retention are some of the major roadblocks that need to be addressed with immediate effect.
Business Integration can rescue these enterprises through manual and automated processes integration allowing efficient and rapid delivery of services that generate new revenue. Streamlining and re-engineering allow service providers to curb their operating expenses and raise profit margins.
Telecom Industry Challenges
Amidst several challenges ranging from deregulation, competition, expansion through new networks, changing market needs and the advent of 5G, telecommunications industry has undergone a massive transformation in the last few decades. Apart from these, the industry has been facing certain other obstacles such as operational inefficiency, poor service quality, no marked differentiations in the services, high customer attrition rate, etc. Encompassing customer-centricity in the business model will go a long way in designing service bundles solely serving customer’s perspectives.
Embracing Digital Transformation Revived the Telco Industry
To circumvent the pressure from different angles, telecom industries are going through wide-scale digital and IT transformation across the BSS, OSS and Network layer to build the foundation to move to the next level i.e. 5G and beyond. Digital commerce has flourished primarily to tackle B2C and B2B business models with respect to targeting customers across all possible channels and touch-points.
In this flourishing digital age, it is easy to reach customers through various digital channels for customer acquisition, customer service, marketing and sales, etc. RedHat OpenShift and OpenStack and standards like ONAP are the latest cloud-based technologies that significantly investment cost and provisions for virtualizing the network layer.
