Modernizing Enterprise Connectivity with Telecom-as-a-Service

AvidThink is pleased to announce our latest research brief, “Modernizing Enterprise Connectivity with Telecom-as-a-Service.”. This report provides a clear, practical view of how enterprises can evolve beyond the constraints of traditional mobile virtual network models toward a strategic, embedded communication strategy. It examines how cloud-native, API-centric platforms are reshaping the telecommunications landscape—driving agility, unlocking new revenue streams, and providing deep, real-time business intelligence.

Built to support decision-makers and technology strategists, this report explores the journey from fragmented legacy MVNO relationships to modern Telecom-as-a-Service (TaaS)—where integrated APIs, elastic cloud architectures, and global network abstraction converge to simplify complexity and accelerate digital transformation.

Included in the report is an in-depth solution review of OXIO’s Telecom-as-a-Service Platform, the first technology-first platform that combines a cloud-hosted mobile core with programmable API simplicity. Discover how this platform enables organizations to unify mobile services across infrastructure, applications, and devices—from retail loyalty programs and fintech security to global logistics and IoT management.

The report also highlights real-world implementations across finance, media, and connected devices, illustrating measurable outcomes such as reduced time-to-market (from months to days), deep behavioral insights, and enhanced customer retention. Download the report to read the details.

Our report provides in-depth analysis and actionable insights on the following key topics:

  • Evolving from MVNOs to Next-Gen MVNx: Understand the distinction between isolated, reseller-based task automation and a modern "next-gen MVNx" platform that aggregates global mobile capabilities into a single strategic asset.

  • The API-First Advantage: Learn how APIs form the connective tissue of modern mobile IT, enabling secure, programmatic integration across apps, websites, and devices while abstracting away esoteric carrier protocols.

  • Drivers Behind TaaS Investments: Gain insights into the forces accelerating the adoption of embedded communications—from the success of other "as-a-service" pioneers like Stripe and Twilio to the enterprise need for better first-party data and global scalability.

  • Overcoming Legacy Constraints: Learn how enterprises are addressing the "data gap" and 12-18 month regional deployment delays typical of traditional models through modular cloud architectures and automated compliance.

  • Best Practices for Implementation: Explore AvidThink’s recommendations on evaluating next-gen platforms, focusing on checklist items like technical architecture, ecosystem support, and package flexibility to ensure a sustainable competitive advantage.
