Telecoms.com Intelligence's Annual Industry Survey Highlights Increasing Importance Of 'Designed-For' B2B BSS Solutions
16.12.2019 12:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
MDS Global Ltd, a leading BSS-as-a-Service provider, in collaboration with Telecoms.com Intelligence, today announced the findings of their 2019 Annual Industry Survey Report. In the report, dedicated and designed-for modern B2B BSS solutions were highlighted as a key requirement by Communication Service Providers (CSPs), with 84% of respondents identifying B2B as the area where enterprise customers will generate the highest revenue growth in 2020 and beyond.
Based on 540 responses to a survey, the report took an overview of the industry landscape over the last 12 months and provided projections for activity from 2020 and beyond. The OSS/BSS section of the survey highlighted that the B2B segments, including large enterprises (30%), small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (19%), small office/home office (SOHO) (17%), as well as public sector and wholesale partners, need to be served by a specialist B2B BSS platform. This platform should offer a dedicated digital engagement approach supporting personalised order, workflow and service management demands of enterprises, resellers and partners.
According to the survey, 50% of CSPs already have a separate platform to reflect this sector's demand, and 50% of these require a more digital approach to market engagement. 90% of CSPs agreed that the SME segment specifically requires real-time usage and control and the ability to configure, price and order services via online tools. Defined by service level agreements, business customers often demand higher levels of customisation, shorter time to market for new services, and tend to be less tolerant of failures. But at the same time, they are also less sensitive to price, compared with the consumer market.
Flexibility and customisation for both CSPs and enterprise is also especially important in 5G with its strong virtualisation and software-centric characteristics. The B2B sector is forecast to significantly outweigh the B2C sector as a major source of revenue from 5G services and the report reinforced how important 5G technology is in shaping and scheduling future projects. A staggering 97% of CSPs will use SDN/NFV environments to allow integrated services to be personalised, demonstrating that virtualisation will trigger major BSS change.
Gary Bunney, CEO, MDS Global said, "Currently, most BSS running in Communication Service Providers are hardwired to support traditional enterprise services and incorporate many offline business processes that require high-cost specialist resources to deliver constant change."
He continues, "Today’s market demands low-cost service agility. MDS Global is uniquely placed to assist CSPs in automating service engagement whilst enabling the opportunity that 5G and service personalisation brings to enterprises. We provide a dedicated B2B BSS-as-a-Service platform, decreasing the costs associated with operations, automating customer engagement and providing agility to ensure our CSP customers are able to invent, tailor and launch new services without the hindrance of engineering challenges."

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 16:31:00 EET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 14:00:00 EET | Press release
Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security solutions for the very vulnerabilities their models create. If the industry continues to integrate autonomous code wi
