News Wire Feed Light Reading 2/12/2021 NEW YORK Altran, part of Capgemini, and Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, today announced a collaboration to provide network operators with intelligent automation solutions. This collaboration will support operators that are grappling with increasingly complex requirements across physical and virtual domains driven by 5G, cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result of their co-created solutions, service delivery across multiple vendor systems will be simplified and automated, enabling operators to monetize their investments faster. Intelligent automation is the execution of the operational and functional processes involved in designing, creating and delivering an end-to-end service. Traditionally, these processes were handled by domain-specific, siloed operational support systems (OSS) and tools built for static environments. The increasing integration of advanced networking technologies and automation has accelerated demand for process orchestration a market projected to exceed $9 billion by 2025, according to Market Study Report LLP.
