RN363 Release Notes for IG1130 TAM Impacts by SDN/NFV R18.0

As operators and enterprises evaluate the introduction of virtualization to network functions they are discovering that the biggest challenges lie in the existing organization, processes and systems. For a better vision of the corresponding challenge, operators need to have the full picture of differences between the traditional and virtualized Product Lifecycle Management. Still, even this is not enough for transforming an organization into an agile digital services machine. Network operators need particular recommendations for defining principles and implementation of virtualized Product Lifecycle Management.

This document series is a set of analyses and conclusions related to the impacts of virtualization on the Telecom Applications Map
