This paper sets out a picture of the current and future network and service assurance requirements for communication service providers (CSPs) and discusses the urgency for a future-proof data set to underpin these requirements.

However, it is particularly acute in the assurance domain, which already uses the highest volume and velocity data found anywhere the CSP’s network. A recent survey, carried out by Heavy Reading, on behalf of EXFO, amongst CSP executives, found that data stored across multiple network and service inventory systems was likely to have quality issues with 16% of the data on average, and that 89% of operators indicated data quality was preventing them from completing automation projects.
