A Poet’s Guide to Digital Transformation

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

Although T.S. Eliot originally penned these words as a preface for Harry Crosby’s 1931 poetry collection “Transit of Venus,” the essence aptly captures the current state of telecommunications at the technological crossroads.

On the never-ending digital transformation highway, communications service providers (CSPs) continue to face many challenges as they work to deliver a true omnichannel experience. These challenges include network upgrades, cloudification, and the artificial intelligence (AI)/automation movement.

• Network upgrades: CSPs continue to invest heavily in making their networks faster and more reliable. With 5G population coverage reaching global saturation, high-speed connectivity for consumers and businesses will be the standard.
• Cloud solutions: With the shift to cloud computing and operations, CSPs will be able to scale, reduce expenses, and increase their agility in the marketplace.
• AI and automation: From handling customer questions to managing networks, AI will enable more personalized interactions with customers and streamline day-to-day operational tasks.

From a customer perspective, end users are more than ready to take advantage of the benefits provided by evolving cloud-based solutions. They are demanding more value, better service, and increased flexibility and asking for it now. With so many competitive options available, subscribers may not be willing to wait for their provider to catch up.

Fortunately, you can secure a digital battlefield advantage with a business assurance solution that provides the insights needed to accelerate and innovate networks and services.

To ensure digital transformation success, NETSCOUT offers an express lane for service providers looking to plan, deliver, integrate, test, and deploy new services and applications.
