Network operations plays a central role in CSPs’ digital transformation.
For 79% of CSPs, network operations plays a central or the most important role in setting priorities and plans for digital transformation.
Network Operations is one of the most important groups in driving digital transformation. Less than a quarter of respondents relegate Ops to a follower/execution-only role.
The new role
of network operations
“The growth that operators are targeting today can best be achieved with an agile business operation in mind, such as SaaS.”
Tony Poulos
Senior Analyst, TM Forum
“Nokia networking technology will allow CANARIE to better connect Canada’s researchers, educators, and innovators to each other and to global data, technology, and colleagues.”
Yoly Crisanto
Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, Globe Group
“Nokia’s launch of its Core SaaS offering through a subscription model today is a new dimension to telecom SaaS and I would expect to see more of this into 2023.”
Roberto Kompany
Principle Analyst, Omdia
“From 2024 onwards, network capital outlays may well be avoided in favor of variable costs over time. In that setting, vendors that stand to win business will be those that prioritize around
pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) consumption models.”
Don Alusha
Senior Analyst, ABI Research
“Charging aaS will accelerate our monetization efforts, with faster time to value of deployment of innovative products and services.”
Kelvin Camenzuli
Chief Digital Officer, Go
“SaaS will account for 23% of CSPs' total spend on OSS/BSS by 2027.”
Raúl Simmons Pérez
Research Analyst, Analysys Mason
“Telecom SaaS is not just about operational efficiency, but also the faster time to market.”
Markus Kinnunen
Vice President Cloud Services, Elisa
“Nokia’s new SaaS offerings represent a significant change in the telecom industry, and the company is showing a willingness to self-disrupt.”
Michael Soper
Senior Analyst, TBR
"Telco SaaS and telco APls are important catalysts for creating new services and experiences for our customers."
Jari Collin
CTO, Telia Finland
“SaaS does not so much remove control as allow telcos to tap into a much larger pool of expertise. For new areas such as AI, security, and threat detection, this is invaluable.”
Robert Curran
Consulting Analyst, Appledore research
“We are pleased to extend our relationship with Nomios and Nokia by deploying Nokia’s high-performance IP networking technology across our extensive network infrastructure.”
Malik Rao
CTIO, Telefónica Deutschland
“Nokia’s adoption
of the SaaS model strategically aligns with the requirements of CSPs during times of CapEx constraints.”
Rahul Gupta
Principal Analyst, GlobalData
“SaaS saves a typical operator 25% in the first three years but also provides much faster time to value than most on-premises implementations.”
Justin van der Lande
Research Director, Analysys Mason
“The shift to disaggregated network cloud deployment models enables CSPs to benefit from new delivery and infrastructure models such as hybrid/public cloud and Telecom SaaS.”
Gorkem Yigit
Principal Analyst, Analysys Mason
“It is good to see a mainstream vendor like Nokia making an early move into SaaS-based delivery.”
