Rohit Batra, vice president and head of telecommunications, media and technology products at ServiceNow, said: “ServiceNow is committed to delivering products that are purpose-built for the telecom industry.
“Together, ServiceNow and AT&T will work to redefine network inventory, and we will continue to innovate to address the challenges communications service providers face now and in the future. This is only the beginning.”
Jon Summers, senior vice president of information technology and chief information officer, AT&T, said: “Working with ServiceNow to develop Telecom Network Inventory was a great collaboration to create a tool that could help us address an industry-wide challenge.
“As we approach our internal deployment, we also look forward to seeing how other operators around the globe might take advantage of it.”
“ServiceNow brings its process-centric approach to network inventory that has often been missing or fragmented before,” said Francis Haysom, principal analyst, Appledore Research. “With Telecommunications Network Inventory, operators have an opportunity to better support end-to-end network automation and increasingly dynamic and valuable network services.”
