Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) is on the rise, with the global market size expected to grow from $1.4 billion in 2019 to $43 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 38.6% (P&S Intelligence). The challenge for telcos is to match agile and software-centric network services with back office systems that move with new speed and scalability.
SD-WAN is driving the need for transformation in operations support systems and business support systems (OSS/BSS) and shifting focus on end-to-end enterprise customer experience. Enterprise expectations are that billing, quoting and other back office processes will be as simple and seamless as click-to-connect networking.
