5G Operational Readiness — Aria Enables Open Partner Ecosystems in the Evolving 5G Communications Industry
This IDC Market Note highlights aspects of the telecom order-to-cash process defined by nontraditional business models. The degree to which service offerings are billed depends on capability layers, with the most important resting on accurate ways to bill end users and remunerate partners for the resources that customers consume. Capability sets such as the Aria Marketplace Suite and the Billing and Monetization solution are critical for next-generation communications services to be successful."A digital ecosystem enablement platform should be accessible by any partner and take advantage of a cloud-based SaaS model to enable digital businesses to get to market quickly. This type of SaaS-based platform should also encourage experimentation around new ideas and pricing strategies to minimize investment needed at the early beginnings of a partner strategy, thereby reducing risk as the buyer focuses on functionality rather than the underlying IT architecture," says Karl Whitelock, research vice president, Communications Service Provider Operations and Monetization at IDC.
