The telco industry is going through a monumental transformation with an eye on
modernizing networks and its underlying supporting infrastructure. A big part of that transformation is driven by the need to lower the cost of operations and gain business agility to pursue new opportunities in the Business-to-Business (B2B) space, especially in the context of new 5G deployments.
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can choose to embrace and accelerate their digital transformation or run the risk of being leftbehind in their ability to compete effectively in the digital economy. A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) telco cloud strategy, increasingly anchored on cloud technologies, will
be the bedrock on which the digital operator is built.
ABI Research conducted a survey with 101 operators and carried out approximately 30 operator research interviews. The intent was to gain direct insight on the construction and maintenance efficiency (e.g., TTM and TTR) of NFV telco/cloud in a multi-vendor setting relative to a single-vendor approach and to better understand the opportunities and challenges associated with these two deployment approaches.
