The advent of the digital transformation has brought a host of new age content, OTT services, aggregators, IoT offerings and a lot more. There is both a challenge and an opportunity here, and CSPs are already paving the path to evolve into DSPs. There is a balance in the bigger picture as well: to manage and defend traditional business and connectivity; and to look at newer areas, unlock possibilities and thrive in the data business.
Digital services billing management is a critical element in the CSP transformation process. There is no one-stop approach, but a process that will have various milestones along the digital journey will only help CSPs achieve expansion, trusted partnerships, collaborations and customer satisfaction. The dynamic digital eco-system also brings forth regulatory changes and developments.

This webinar will be decoding the digital billing conundrum. Spinning off from our recently published POV, we will be talking about how CSPs can expand on their footprint, using their already established infrastructure to:
1. Simplify the interconnect business models to keep margins clean
2. Re-look at partnership models, and expand partner base for new revenue streams
3. Manage customer interaction through different communication channels possibly decreasing cost but increasing coverage
4. Minimize fraud involving partnerships and content

An exclusive webinar sponsored by WAN Summit

A recent survey by the WAN Summit found that cutting cost is the second most important driver for SD-WAN deployment, after performance improvement. Combinations of Hybrid WAN solutions & SD-WAN promise to use of double bandwidth whilst reducing Mbit-prices by up to 50%. But how much of this is realistically achievable?

Join Marcel Koenig from Ancoma Consulting to get insights into real life WAN case studies including deal metrics from recent SD-WAN deployments.

SD-WAN enabled network transformation raises unique issues about the way enterprise customers source and contract for these services. Getting what you bargained for during your contract negotiations is paramount. But maintaining flexibility in your legal arrangements is also critical to ensure your organization maximizes the inherent benefits of moving your network to an SD-WAN solution.

This webinar will examine some of the following issues and offer tips on how to address them in your contracts:

•Avoiding the restrictions (and unexpected costs) imposed by transitioning to SD-WAN from restrictive legacy agreements
•Covering off the major legal and commercial issues in your agreement for SD-WAN services in a global environment
•Maintaining the flexibility to source access components from the lowest cost provider
•Negotiating meaningful and appropriate Service Level Agreements

Andrew Brown from LB3 will also be speaking at the upcoming Wan Summit New York which takes place on 16 & 17 April. To view the full agenda and register your place, visit the website at http://bit.ly/WANSummitNY18

In today’s telecom market, tighter margins, tougher competition and the insatiable demand for bandwidth are all forcing global carriers to innovate at the speed of light. Software-defined networking technology, or SDN, seems to be the answer to most of these challenges but as the concept continues gaining fervent adepts (and critics), it is becoming increasingly difficult to get unbiased information to make informed decisions.

This webinar will provide a thorough analysis of SDN and give attendees some help to make an assessment of their organisation’s readiness and willingness to adopt SDN.

Key takeaways:
The technology behind the concept
What kind of networks are good fits for SDN
The impact on organizational and operational cultures
If your organisation should buy or build
The impact on equipment selection
The experience of the speaker’s organization with SDN

In this webinar we’ll outline how the latest software-defined technologies and virtualization are transforming the enterprise WAN. There is a lot of hype surrounding these technologies, but what is really relevant, and what benefits can realistically be achieved?

We will cover the following:

►Why the enterprise WAN approach needs to be refreshed

►What is SDN / SD-WAN and how does it relate to the WAN?

►The benefits enterprises see in a software-defined WAN

►Virtualisation in the WAN: when should this be considered?

Robust Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route filtering is a challenge for many companies and organisations. Routing protocol has many vulnerabilities which many are trying to manipulate, creating network security problems, disrupting traffic and affecting Internet services.

What is the industry doing to address this issue? This webinar will provide an insight into how NTT Communications and other leading global carriers approach routing security challenges.

Presented by Job Snijders, an IP Development Engineer at NTT Communications’ tier-1 Global IP Network, this session will cover the concept of Peer Locking (a not-so-widely-known route leak blocking mechanism based on as-path filters), basic hygiene in terms of Bogon ASNs and explain a number of useful open source tools.

At the end there will be plenty of time for Q&As so please bring your questions and make this a very interactive session.

NTT Communications in collaboration with Capacity is hosting an exclusive webinar exploring effective strategies for carriers on the path to SDN.

Tighter margins, tougher competition and the insatiable demand for bandwidth in the telecoms market are all conspiring to force the pace of innovation at breakneck speed.

SDN seems to be the answer to most of these challenges, but as the concept continues to gain fervent adepts (and critics), it is becoming increasingly difficult to get unbiased information to make informed decisions.

This webinar will deliver a thorough analysis of SDN, discussing the technology behind the concept and where SDN sits in a carrier network, as well as key topics including:

•The impact on organisational and operational cultures
•Should your organisation buy or build?
•The impact on equipment selection

In July and August 2014, the MEF conducted a survey of its highly qualified base of MEF CE Certified Professionals (MEF-CECPs) to gain a richer understanding of current trends, issues, and challenges associated with this market. About 100 MEF-CECPs employed by 44 service providers in 24 countries participated in the survey. This webinar shares important findings of the MEF survey, provides an update on the MEF CE 2.0 Wholesale E-Access services certification progress, and provides a preview of Wholesale-related topics that will be discussed at the upcoming MEF Global Ethernet Networking 2014.

Cutting through industry hype, this session will evaluate the real-world potential of SDN, identifying key opportunities and areas for development, allowing you to forecast the impact of SDN on your business

In today’s era of increased competition and thinning margins, operators are now following the philosophy of ‘every penny saved is a penny earned’. In such a scenario, protecting themselves against fraud becomes essential.

Nowadays fraudsters are attacking not only the retail operators but have increased attacks on wholesale carriers as well. Based on Subex's experience, carrier fraud has increased by 30% as compared to 2008. Also, 5-8% of the overall traffic carried by a wholesale operator is identified to be fraudulent. This presents a huge threat to carrier business, if not curtailed immediately.

To find out more about the magnitude of the problem, the issues plaguing carriers and what preventative measures can be taken to counteract carrier fraud, join us for the webinar
