In the readiness workstream, the team identifies the key requirements – including technical, business, organizational, and cultural changes – necessary for service providers to include when sourcing agile services in a hybrid environment, specifically outlining how to best adhere to these requirements throughout the full sourcing lifecycle. This will help meet the NFV promise of service agility (slashing TTM for new services), OPEX reductions (NetOps to DevOps), and CAPEX reductions (migrate from specialized expensive telco hardware to standard low-cost IT fabric).
The key challenges being solved in this workstream include:
- How can I source physical and virtual infrastructure including NFV for my hybrid environment?
- How can I determine which process, organizational or operational changes are necessary to reap the benefits of increased agility?
To solve these challenges the team have delivered:
