HPE’s next generation OSS solution will help solve Vodafone Idea’s business challenges by offering innovative solutions that help to address them from a revenue, cost and efficiency basis. Vodafone Idea will further automate operations by introducing HPE Intelligent Assurance providing it with a powerful platform to transform vast amounts of telecommunications network data into actionable insight, thus paving the way towards zero touch operations and self-driven networks.
