Clearly, carriers realize that the biggest hurdle to achieving nimble service delivery architecture is their siloed, disparate BSS and OSS systems. Carriers that can create a seamless order-to-cash-to-care process through technology integration will more easily achieve the holy grail of customer-centricity sought by every carrier around the globe.
