Accelerating Innovation Through Orchestration for Service Providers

Deliver the High-Value Services of the Future Rapidly, Reliably, & at Minimal Operating Cost with Itential

Drive Future Growth, Innovation, & Optimize Expenses for Service Provider Networks

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have become focused on a single imperative – improve profitability. To do this, they must pivot to higher margin services while at the same time eliminate as much operating expense as possible. However, trying to do both at the same time with their existing tools and systems has proven difficult, if not impossible, because those tools are unable to deliver the necessary agility, innovation, and efficiency.

As a result, CSPs are looking to end-to-end orchestration and automation to accelerate new product introduction while reducing the cost to maintain service delivery and quality commitments.

How Service Providers Drive Business Value with Itential

With Itential’s unique approach to orchestration and rapid-integration capabilities, CSPs can successfully leverage mixed infrastructure and quickly compose services out of a diverse set of technologies and infrastructure domains. Services can integrate with security, billing, and more to enable a shift away from traditional OSS for accelerated service delivery to meet the demands of customers today.

Accelerating the Top Line

With the explosive growth in cloud-application usage, IoT, mobile devices, and extending connectivity and computing to the edge with 5G, CSPs have become frustrated with the cost and time of their current processes to increase capacity, throughput, and new capabilities. With Itential, CSPs can accelerate top line growth and deliver new and differentiated services to their customers.

Accelerated Time to Market for Innovative New Services

Itential orchestration users have reduced timelines to introduce new services and to activate new customers by up to 90%, accelerating time to revenue for new products.

Increased Customer Satisfaction

Orchestration and automation eliminate human error and can perform event-driven closed-loop operations to improve service availability and quality, enabling highly customized services to be delivered to customers more quickly and more reliably than ever.

Dynamic, Real-Time Service Delivery

By replacing multiple-handoffs and ticket-driven activation processes with full-process orchestration, customer activations that once took days or weeks can be orchestrated in minutes.

Transforming the Bottom Line

CSPs are eager to incorporate new technologies such as AIOps, machine learning, and closed-loop orchestration to decrease the cost of operating their networks – but integrating these capabilities into their existing environment to the degree necessary to drive costs down significantly is impossible given their aging infrastructure and systems. With most CSP networks spanning multiple domains (cloud, mobile, WAN, RAN, edge, transport, data center, managed services, etc.) and requiring a higher level of investment and management, Itential provides the right orchestration solution to support an increasingly diverse set of technologies, vendors, and systems.

Achieve Operational Efficiencies & Reduce Costs

Maximize teams’ time and talent with orchestrations that make changes at rapid speed, accelerating service delivery and reducing the cost to innovate and operate. Reduce OPEX by up to 80% for network operations while driving CAPEX reduction by more effectively utilizing existing assets.

Deliver 100% Network Uptime & Eliminate Errors

Validate all network changes are compliant before they are activated, integrate directly with IT systems for inventory and configuration data, build robust pre- and post-check processes into every workflow.

Enable Modern Security Architectures

Increase software upgrade frequency for network devices and enforce Golden Configuration and compliance standards across distributed infrastructure. Automate remediation with workflows triggered by events across any network domain.
