IDC Innovators: Digital Telco Platform Tools and Technologies

IDC Innovators are emerging vendors with revenue under $100 million that have demonstrated either a ground breaking business model or an innovative new technology — or both.

Optiva is recognized as THE IDC INNOVATOR 2024 under DIGITAL TELCO PLATFORMS TOOLS and TECHNOLOGIES.

Digital transformation is crucial for telcos, offering unprecedented agility, flexibility, and operational efficiency that is vital to drive growth. As they innovate across their network and IT stack, communications SPs face a critical decision: Should they build their own platforms or invest in existing solutions? This choice significantly affects time to market, resource allocation, control, customization, and strategic alignment. Building a bespoke platform allows SPs complete control, enabling the incorporation of specific features, integrations, and designs that resonate with their unique brand and objectives.

To remain competitive, communications SPs are encouraged to embrace a collaborative, partner driven business model that fosters an ecosystem rich in digital tools and technologies that can ultimately increase their revenue opportunity. This approach both accelerates service innovation and facilitates the creation of generic and industry-specific solutions, equipping SPs to succeed in a progressively digital world. This strategic shift also helps SPs leverage collective expertise and technology, driving faster innovation and adaptation in the dynamic telecommunications sector.
