Differentiation is key Service providers need to leverage their uniqueness - providingSD-WAN as carrier grade hybrid solution bundled with VAS services
Existing systems and processes must evolve Service fulfilment, inventory, assurance and serviceoperations must evolve to meet SD-WAN and other NGN services requirements, agility and TTM
Service lifecycle management is keyManagement and Orchestration plays a crucial role for adding services connecting to exiting systems and analytics
