Formed in February 2017 and hosted by The Linux Foundation, ONAP
is a collaborative open-source project that enables communications
service providers (CSPs), vendors and open-source community
developers to collaborate in an open ecosystem, boosting rapid
creation of new services and innovation.
“The future health of CSPs’ business lies firmly with the
creation of next-generation platforms, software-defined networks
and network functions virtualization-powered ecosystems,” said Amol
Phadke, managing director for global network transformation
services at Accenture. “ONAP brings together various players from
across the industry to accelerate the shift from network hardware
to network software within a common governance model that allows
for orchestration and innovation in a collaborative environment
while avoiding fragmentation. We are pleased to be a part of the
program to make this transformation a reality.”
Accenture’s participation in ONAP reaffirms its commitment to
carrier network transformation and innovation, helping CSPs build
next-generation platforms to move from legacy to new business
models, develop and launch new services rapidly and at scale, and
create and manage real-time operations.
“We have deep experience helping CSPs understand, experiment
with, adopt and quickly scale new and emerging technology
ecosystems. This, coupled with our work supporting network
transformation programs in a technology-agnostic environment and
our existing relationship with the Linux Foundation, positions us
to help ONAP further differentiate itself as the fastest-growing
open-network initiative by collaborating and co-innovating
effectively across the ecosystem,” Phadke said.
Arpit Joshipura, general manager of networking at The Linux
Foundation, said, “We are excited that Accenture has joined ONAP,
which has to scale to be the successful industry-standard platform
for software-defined networks and network functions virtualization.
Accenture’s experience co-innovating and building large ecosystems
will help us and other ONAP members around the globe create a
vibrant community.”
