• Manual provisioning across domains is silo’d, error-prone and operationally inefficient

• Developing and integrating new services is costly and slow, making it difficult to compete in today’s on-demand world

• SDN/NFV orchestration abstracts services from the complexity of underlying domains

• Eliminates silos, enables automated and accelerated end-to-end service delivery
