"Telecoms applications vendors can play one of two roles (or both) as CSPs increase their use of data and AI platform services."
Communications service providers' (CSPs') use of platform services (that is, common middleware services including data management and AI/analytics tools, delivered from the cloud) means that telecoms application vendors' products may no longer align with CSPs' software architecture. These vendors should therefore quickly decide which role they want to play in the platform services era before platform service usage matures too much.
