Telecom service providers are implementing outsourcing strategies for network operations to deal with increasingly complex next-generation network infrastructure, fast-paced service deployment and a shortage of engineers with cutting-edge skills.

Doing even more with less is a credo striking a chord with telecom service providers as they begin to implement outsourcing strategies for next-generation network operations to help deal with increasingly complex network infrastructure, fast-paced service deployment and a shortage of engineers with cutting-edge skills.

The trend is for telecom carriers to take a cue from how they manage integration contracts for next-gen network deployment and extend those outsourcing strategies to achieve cost-effective network operations on an ongoing basis. That means taking the revolutionary step of outsourcing network operations to a trusted vendor.
