Description

Next-Generation OSS: Cloud Orchestration for Future Connectivity

This IDC Market Perspective examines the key strategic priorities that communication service providers (CSPs) must consider when investing into their next-generation operation support systems (OSS) platforms. In 2020, European CSPs faced unique challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and the initial rollout of 5G. The network went through a stress test as more people worked from home and more enterprises needed remote services that required resilient broadband connections. Moving forward in a post-pandemic world, current deployed solutions of OSS will burden the CSPs and strongly inhibit them from addressing new business opportunities. "CSPs must harness the power of 5G and deliver a more advanced OSS to automate their networks and address the orchestration challenges of hybrid networks. 5G and next-generation networking will demand a level of resilience and scale that existing OSS are not designed to handle. OSS transformation should be a key strategic priority for CSPs looking to take advantage of the wide breadth of 5G opportunities, covering virtualized and traditional physical infrastructure and managing the network through end-to-end automation to deliver a level of agility and programmability for CSPs in the 5G era," said Ahmad Latif Ali, associate vice president at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
