How can CSPs gain the full benefits of SDN, NFV and XaaS programs? The key is to use highly automated management systems – a step beyond today’s existing OSS and BSS systems.
In this webinar, Grant Lenahan of Appledore Research will outline a perspective on how CSPs should approach this transformation with a focus on Closed-Loop Automation and the new role of Assurance in these emerging SDN, NFV and XaaS programs.
Grant will be joined by Bill Stanley from Nokia who will explain a practical approach that Nokia is taking toward a portfolio of solutions that support CSPs in these transformation programs.
