Andrew Coward says that even the service providers that are the most fervent and determined to transform and virtualise their networks still need support from partners and collaborators in the ecosystem as they make the most far-reaching changes to their assets and capabilities the industry has seen in a century and more. Enthusiasm is all well and good and to be applauded but even with the most detailed planning, as transformation gets underway many CSPs find a stumbling block, or even a series of stumbling blocks, laying across their path as the move to the real-life implementation of a virtualised network. That's when the going gets really tough and it's where the choice of the right partners to accompany them on the journey really pays off. Andrew Coward says that Tech Mahindra is uniquely qualified to help and support its clients and customers because not only does it intellectually understand how a transformation should be approached and planned but also has invaluable direct experience of, and skills in, partnering with customers and assisting them to maximise the potential that NFV has to create vasluable new services, applications and revenue streams. In other words, Tech Mahindra not only talks the talk, it also walks the walk.
