Communications Service Providers (CoSPs) are helping drive transformational change within the communications industry and the customers they serve. But CoSPs are also undergoing significant change and transformation themselves. Emerging technologies, such as 5G, Edge Computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are driving waves of new applications and customer requirements, and CoSPs recognize that they must change, adapt, and become more agile to proactively address and capitalize on these emerging opportunities. For many, this involves a shift, or migration, from a hardware-centric to software-centric infrastructure and services model.
The State of HW2SW Transformation offers a global dive into the risks, challenges and opportunities CoSPs face as they look to shape, implement and support these transformational initiatives. We also share the findings of our recent study on this subject, informed by the opinions of 465 global business leaders and technology professionals within the communications industry.
In this paper, you’ll learn:
- The top strategic drivers of HW2SW migration
- The key use cases and vertical applications that benefit from the shift from hardware to software architectures
- Key selection criteria CoSPs rely upon when selecting technologies and providers
- Why security and faster access to data are important to CoSP success
- The importance of hardware, applications and data convergence to CoSP strategic plans
