As enterprises embrace their digital transformation journeys, they are becoming cognizant of the critical role that network transformation plays. By employing cutting-edge network technologies, these digital enterprises seek to optimize performance, automate operations, boost efficiency, expedite digital transformation, and enhance user experiences. However, amid the backdrop of declining global macroeconomic conditions, enterprises currently prioritize realizing RoI from their prior investments, especially those made during the pandemic, before allocating resources to newer and less mature technologies such as 5G and edge computing.

Network System Integrators (SIs) are proactively investing in a comprehensive suite of solutions to serve the ever-evolving needs of enterprises. Their aim is to deliver end-to-end network transformation, spanning consulting to managed services, while incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as multicloud networking, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), network automation, IoT, and wireless networks. They strategically realign their network approach, focusing on use case relevance and value creation. Consequently, they are developing industry-specific and AI-driven contextualized solutions tailored to the unique requirements of various sectors. By doing so, these SIs can offer highly customized network solutions that drive tangible and meaningful business outcomes.
