Platform services: how they can help CSPs to operate in complex environments

Communications service providers (CSPs) face increasing complexity in developing and managing services within the multiple cloud environments that they are using to support their digital transformations. Platform services (middleware delivered in a cloud) can help CSPs to overcome this complexity because they can address the needs of a range of applications running in multiple environments.
