There is often a disconnect between the types of services that enterprises want, and the types of solutions CSPs are prioritising, leading to missed or undervalued revenue opportunities for CSPs, and frustrations for enterprises.
Drawing upon a wide range of conversations with multiple industries, IBM will explore views from the front line on what enterprises require from CSPs today and in the future, focusing on the business needs to be addressed.
Do telcos need to rethink their approach and, if so, what opportunities and requirements does this create for the wholesale sector?
