Tier 1 Network Operator Reduces Time to Market for New High-speed Services from Weeks to Minutes

Challenge

For this tier 1 network operator, slow, multi-departmental service provisioning processes took up to two months. Why?

• It was difficult to gauge where available capacity exists in the network
• Multiple teams and vendors needed to be consulted before new services could be provisioned
• High costs and large amounts of time were spent on manual processes, including ordering, feasibility appraisals for new services, configuration steps, and resource provisioning across several different network layers and domains

Solution

Ciena’s WAN automation enables super-fast service provisioning, enhanced capacity planning, and bandwidth on demand.
