The benefits of SaaS for automated assurance deployments

Communications service providers (CSPs) are beginning to adopt software-as-a-service (SaaS) as the delivery model for assurance processes, but adoption has been slow for network-facing functions because of CSPs’ concerns around security and network performance. However, SaaS-based assurance systems can help CSPs to simplify their processes and deliver complex new services more rapidly over cloud-native infrastructure.
