The telecom industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. As service providers transition toward cloud-native, software-defined networks, the operational and business support systems (OSS/BSS) that underpin them must evolve to keep pace.
This shift extends beyond simple infrastructure upgrades. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technology is accelerating across telecom operations, enabling zero-touch provisioning and predictive maintenance, while modern cloud-native architectures are helping service providers achieve unprecedented scalability and agility. Legacy, siloed systems can no longer satisfy the needs of this new reality. Fragmented operations hinder real-time visibility, slow down service launch timelines, and prevent the seamless orchestration of end-to-end connectivity experiences that today's consumers and enterprises demand. In the age of 5G, fiber expansion, and multi-access edge computing, service providers need solutions that empower innovation and efficiency.
The Evolution of OSS/BSS: Meeting Next-Gen Demands
Service providers require robust platforms that align with their digital transformation goals. Modern OSS solutions must support end-to-end service provisioning, zero-touch automation, and seamless integration across diverse network domains. By holistically orchestrating and proactively managing networks, operators can accelerate service delivery, reduce operational complexity, and enhance the customer experience.
At the same time, open APIs and interoperability have become foundational for innovation. Service providers need the flexibility to integrate new technologies without disrupting their existing ecosystems, ensuring that no device is left behind. This open approach allows them to leverage the best tools available while maintaining unified operations. As networks continue to expand—from fiber to 5G and beyond—real-time visibility becomes key, enabling service providers to gain actionable insights, manage resources proactively, and maintain reliability in increasingly complex network environments.
