SDN & NFV as the enablers for the new digital communications service providerThe virtualization transformation can be developed with an ‘inside out’ or ‘outside in’ approaches

Operations Transform.

Focuses on virtualizing the core network functions first

Companies pursuing this strategy are looking to accelerate development, deployment and testing of service offerings to drive incremental revenueInside out

Each of the two approaches will involve a combination of three main components:• Technology transformation• Business Services transformation• Operations transformationThe inside out approach is focused more on technology transformation, whereas the outside in is more driven by a business services transformation.
