I recently had the pleasure of presenting on a webinar with Nokia and AWS on no-code and cloud-based monetization of the 5G economy. Listening to the speakers from AWS and Nokia, as well as discussions I’ve had in recent months with operators, it really hits home how different stand-alone (SA) 5G will be from all the other Gs.
Here’s a radical idea. You know that large-scale digital transformation project that you’re planning for or have just started. Take a step back and ask if there’s a quicker, more cost-effective and low-risk option.
Creating new, digital-centric brands has become an effective strategy for telecom operators to attack new market segments, gain market share, and quickly launch new propositions that address consumers demands for simplicity and self-service oriented models.

Digital transformation can be hard, especially for established telcos. Legacy processes, systems, and legacy thinking can stall the best intentions of telcos looking to evolve into new digital-first companies. Getting to the point where they are selling a range of digital services across a variety of digital platforms to an increasingly digital-savvy customer base can be a hazardous journey.
Business Support Systems (BSS) are at the heart of a telecom operator’s successful business operations. But in the past two decades, operators have drifted away from a focus on their business by taking an IT-centric approach to source, run, and evolve their mission-critical business platforms.
