Why Automate Device Onboarding?
As businesses rapidly extend their networks, provide services to, and activate new customers as well as improve quality of service delivery, the proper management for the application of Day 0 configurations for network connectivity, Day 1 configurations for operational settings, and management of device configuration is crucial. With automation, replace manual operational processes, reduce swivel chair and touchpoints for expedited provisioning and activation times.
Network automation helps to:
- Reduce time to deploy new customers or add new services.
- Reduce customer onboarding time from 45 days to 2 days, which improves customer retention and increases realization of new customer revenue.
- Reduce processes time from 20 days to 5 days, resulting in $270k+ annual OPEX saving.
