TCS’ telco services on AWS Cloud

Overview

Beyond extending connectivity, telcos want to rapidly introduce innovative services to drive growth.

Communication service providers (CSPs) are banking on technology to deliver on their promise of connectivity and outstanding experiences. They are leveraging 5G, cloud, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to transform their channels, business support systems (BSS), operations support systems (OSS), and networks. All of this is accelerating their business transformation like never before. For instance, 5G is driving revenue and service models for telcos in B2B businesses. Software-defined products and cloud native pay-as-you-go infrastructure are enabling them to shift from high capex to asset light models, go beyond connectivity to roll out new business models, and collaborate better with ecosystem partners to offer better experiences and services.

CSPs realize that strengthening networks with cloud, 5G, and other next-gen networks and technologies are a must to drive continuous growth for themselves and their customers. They are keen to make the most of customer data platforms; enterprise architectures like Open Digital Architecture (ODA) that offers cloud-native plug and play components; and data-driven autonomous networks in OSS to enhance customer experiences, increase network utilization, offer network as a service (NaaS), and generate new revenue streams. 

Not just CSPs, companies across manufacturing, mining, and transportation are increasingly adopting next-gen networks such as private 5G networks. Moreover, operational technology (OT) use cases across industries are dependent on reliable and fast machine-to-machine connectivity among smart devices, robotic arms, IoT sensors and edge applications.  

Solution

TCS’ telco services on AWS Cloud enable CSPs to strengthen the digital core, create new business models, and transform to technology companies.

It incorporates key offerings that allow:

• Channel transformation: Create immersive experiences and drive purpose-driven growth for themselves and their customers with TCS’ interactive services and key platforms such as TCS OmniStore™.
• BSS and OSS transformation: Transform your BSS and OSS using TCS HOBS™, a catalog-driven subscription management platform; TCS Fiber Rollout as a Service for a design-led approach; and TCS TwinX™, which helps create enterprise digital twins. For BSS transformation, we help CSPs modernize their digital core with Open Digital Architecture-based microservices and APIs, leveraging the cloud for elasticity and agility. To modernize legacy OSS, we use the principles of Open Digital Architecture, open APIs, and zero-touch orchestration, operations and management.
• Data transformation and services: Accelerate your transformation to a data-driven organization by moving legacy data platforms to modern data platforms in the cloud. TCS’ data and analytics services cover the entire spectrum—strategy, collection, integration, modelling, governance, data science, data visualization, data security, and business intelligence. We focus on enterprise data strategies, OSS/BSS data transformation, telco data fabric, data-driven intelligent and autonomous telecom networks, and telecom enterprise cloud data migration and we use our proprietary solutions to accelerate this data transformation.
• Network transformation: Navigate the journey to next-gen networks such as MPN, 5G, SDN, and NFV with TCS Network Solutions and Services, which offer end-to-end network infrastructure services, product engineering services, and next-gen OSS services.
• Telco cloud services: Plan, design, integrate, test, deploy and operate telco networks with our end-to-end network life-cycle services. We partner telcos in their network virtualization and containerization journey. For this, we leverage our experience in the open source community, our strategic partnerships with original equipment manufacturers and hyperscalers, and our proprietary network solution accelerators and network operations platforms.  
• Mobile private network: Enable mobile private networks with TCS’ tools, experience, and capabilities in management plane; cloud; and radio access networks. TCS supports 5G or 4G LTE-enabled enterprises based on:
  • Private network deployed at the edge.
  • Hybrid network with network functions deployed across enterprise and network edge such as AWS Wavelength and AWS Cloud regions.
  • Deployment of use cases offered as network slice that CSPs provide.
