Capitalizing on digital opportunities can be challenging. Customers are increasingly demanding and, at the same time, many new players are entering the marketplace. To compete in this environment, operators must not only maintain but also grow their part of the new value chain to gain loyal customers. This requires true service agility – the ability to provide a constant stream of new, innovative services, quickly developed and executed to perfection.
