| | JUNE 20196CIOReviewCome 2019 and the telecommunications industry is at the threshold of a new era characterized by 5G networks, IoT, and a vast sea of opportunities. It is quite evident that this era is unstoppable and there is no escape. However, with the availability of new technologies, explosive growth in connected devices, and consumer needs for faster speed, better security, and improved feature sets, the telecom sector is on its toes. To keep up with changing times, telecom providers are increasingly pressured to rev up their IT and connectivity infrastructure, as well as focus on providing data and voice services that are high quality, reliable, and affordable. Moreover, with millions of subscribers, the operational support services like service configuration, order fulfillment, customer care, and billing are becoming increasingly complex. The cost of handling these operations requires resources and different tools, thus, spiking up the financial overhead as well. Another area, which they cannot afford to take their eyes off, is complete system security--from network till the device level. Biometric mechanisms like facial or retinal recognition are on the rise and likely to pick up steam in the coming years to curb crimes related to hacker attacks. In a bid to stay ahead of these requirements, there are several solution providers that are infusing technologies such as virtualization, software-defined architectures, automation and chatbots among others into their offerings for the maximum benefit of telecom providers.In this edition of CIOReview, we bring to you the foremost technology solution providers in the telecom industry that are making a difference in this space with their cutting-edge offerings.
