Spotlight: Making it Real: B2B Business Growth and Operations

B2B operations inherently differ from B2C operations in terms of capability. CSPs are faced with the challenge of constructing a Business Support System (BSS) that aligns with their current system status and can support their B2B development strategy. In this Spotlight, we will not only explore exciting business cases and cutting-edge IT upgrade practices, but also strive to turn the vision of B2B growth into a realistic achievement.
