Composability: The Key to Solving Telecom’s Agility Crisis

Telecom operators are at a pivotal juncture. Rapidly rising customer expectations, intensifying competition, and the rollout of technologies such as 5G, IoT and edge computing are transforming the industry and creating an urgent need for greater speed and flexibility. Yet, many communications service providers (CSPs) remain constrained by monolithic and rigid Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operations Support Systems (OSS), where even minor updates to services, processes or integrations can result in significant cost and delays.

These challenges have become a defining issue for the industry and in the sections that follow, we’ll explore how composable architectures are helping CSPs overcome them and regain agility. This shift toward modular, API-first and loosely coupled BSS/OSS systems is enabling CSPs to innovate rapidly, launch new services at digital speed, and scale efficiently.

TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) provides a clear industry blueprint for this shift, defining the modular building blocks and open interfaces needed to replace monolithic BSS/OSS with flexible, composable systems.

Cerillion, with extensive experience in deploying composable BSS/OSS solutions for leading CSPs, provides practical guidance on how operators can modernise their systems without disruptive rip-and-replace projects.

The Agility Challenge

Legacy BSS/OSS platforms were built for a time when service portfolios were predictable and network environments were stable. Today’s telecom realities are far different: rapid service innovation, intense partner ecosystems, regulatory complexity and dynamic enterprise demands. According to TM Forum, up to 72% of 5G revenue growth is dependent on BSS/OSS transformation.

While earlier research (such as TM Forum) suggested that a high proportion of 5G revenue growth depends on OSS/BSS transformation, more recent GSMA Intelligence analysis underlines that the real value of 5G lies in its role in enterprise digital transformation. GSMA projects that mobile technologies – 5G included will drive $11 trillion of economic value by 2030, and reports that around 85% of enterprises regard 5G as critical to their digital transformation strategies.

As part of this evolution, ODA sets out a standardised architecture that helps CSPs break down legacy complexity by adopting interchangeable components, common data models, and certified Open APIs.

Telecoms industry spending trends underline the urgency: IDC forecasts that the combined telco software solution market will grow from $48.7 billion in 2024 to $60.4 billion in 2029. Such rapid expansion highlights why CSPs recognise that agility isn’t optional but essential for survival.

Composable BSS/OSS and Market Impact

Composable architecture replaces monolithic systems with modular, API-first components that can be developed, deployed and updated independently. This approach allows CSPs to assemble new services, such as an IoT device bundle and partner app, without waiting months for system upgrades.

The principles of composable architecture align directly with ODA, which promotes modular components, well-defined service domains, and open interfaces that can be assembled and evolved independently.

Composable design brings several key advantages. As each module of the system, whether it’s a product catalogue or order management component, evolves independently, businesses can respond more quickly. Open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) connect partner services, network functions and business tools, ensuring every element works together seamlessly. This efficiency also allows business users to configure new offers without relying on IT, while cloud-native microservices enable continuous scalability and updates, without disrupting legacy systems.

By building solutions that conform to ODA’s structure, operators ensure greater interoperability across partner ecosystems and avoid the vendor lock-in associated with traditional monolithic platforms.

According to HTF Market Research, the cloud-native telecoms market exceeded USD 10 billion in 2024, reflecting strong adoption of modern, modular architectures. The shift is more than technical; it’s strategic. Composable systems empower business teams, accelerate time-to-market and support legacy coexistence to manage cost and risk. In this context, Cerillion illustrates how legacy platforms can evolve into flexible, interoperable systems that enable rapid innovation without full-scale replacement.

Benefits Beyond Speed

Composable BSS/OSS delivers much more than just faster service rollout, including:

 

  • Reducing downtime and operational complexity.
  • Allowing business teams to experiment with new pricing, bundles and partnerships more easily.
  • Enabling third-party integration and ecosystem expansion via API-first platforms.
  • Adapting quickly to new business models or multi-brand operations.

Strategic Implications for CSPs

Aligning transformation roadmaps with ODA provides CSPs with a proven framework that reduces integration risk, accelerates onboarding of new partners, and ensures long-term architectural consistency.

Operators considering the composable route should pursue the following strategic actions:

 

  • Define business drivers and outcomes: Determine the agility and results needed, including faster service launches and ecosystem enablement, before selecting technologies.
  • Adopt an incremental approach: Modernise components gradually instead of pursuing risky full-scale rip-and-replace projects.
  • Promote business-IT collaboration: Enable business teams to configure services while IT ensures operational integrity.
  • Prioritise Open APIs, ODA and partner readiness: Ensure seamless integration with third-party services and ecosystem partners.
  • Measure success with relevant metrics: Track key indicators such as time-to-market, partner onboarding speed and operational efficiency.

Vendors such as Cerillion provide solutions aligned with Open Digital Architecture, API-first design and hybrid deployment that support agile evolution rather than disruption.

Legacy monolithic systems are no longer fit for the dynamic demands of today’s telecom environment. Composable BSS/OSS architecture offers a path to faster launches, empowered business teams and resilient, future-ready ecosystems.

Transformation is complex, but inaction could cost you missed revenue opportunities, slower growth and loss of competitive position. For CSPs, composable BSS/OSS is not optional; it is a strategic imperative. The responsibility of solution providers is to help operators progress, focusing on enhancement rather than constant disruption.

Artificial intelligence technologies in online casinos: a new era of personalised gaming

In recent years, the online casino industry has undergone significant changes thanks to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI not only improves the gaming experience, but also provides players with unique, personalised experiences. In the UK, where gambling is strictly regulated, the use of AI is becoming an important tool for improving service quality and compliance with safety standards.

Introduction: AI as a catalyst for change in online casinos

The website https://elvino.ie/ is an example of how technology can be integrated into various areas of business. Similarly, online casinos in the UK are actively implementing AI to improve user interaction and optimise their services. AI allows them to analyse player behaviour, predict their preferences and offer personalised recommendations, making the gaming experience more enjoyable and secure.

Personalising the gaming experience with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is actively used in online casinos to create a personalised experience for players. This significantly improves the interaction with the platform, making it more exciting and comfortable. One of the most important aspects that helps casinos provide such an experience is analysing player behaviour and predicting their preferences.

Analysing player behaviour

Analysing player behaviour is a process in which AI studies each player’s interaction with the casino. For example, the system can track which games a player chooses most often, how often they place bets, what time of day or week they prefer to play, and how large their bets are. Using this data, artificial intelligence creates a detailed profile of each user, which is then used to create unique offers.

An example of the use of this analysis is the recommendation of games that may be of interest to a particular user based on their previous preferences. For example, if a player often chooses slots with a certain theme or bonus features, AI will offer them new games that match these interests. In addition, the system can offer more suitable bets or even special bonuses that match the user’s playing style.

Another important aspect is the adaptation of the online casino interface to the player’s preferences. AI can optimise the page design by offering the player the most convenient way to navigate or arrange elements based on which features they use most often. This approach not only improves interaction with the site, but also increases the level of comfort, as players can access the information they need with minimal effort.

This type of personalisation makes each player feel that the casino cares about their individual preferences, which increases engagement and creates emotional attachment to the platform. This, in turn, can increase the amount of time spent on the platform, as well as the frequency of bets.

Predicting preferences

AI is not limited to analysing current user behaviour. Modern machine learning algorithms can predict players’ future preferences, enabling online casinos to proactively adapt to each user’s interests.

Machine learning algorithms analyse not only the player’s current actions, but also more complex behaviour patterns, revealing hidden preferences that may only become apparent with deeper analysis. For example, if a player shows interest in certain categories of games (such as card games), even if only rarely, AI can start offering them similar games in the future, even if they have not previously shown any obvious interest in them. This allows the casino to offer more accurate recommendations and increases the chance that the player will return to play in the same categories or continue to explore other similar games.

AI can also use data on how often players are involved in special promotions, bonuses or tournaments. If a player has already used bonuses for certain games several times, the system may offer them personalised bonuses for playing the same slots or table games. Such personalised offers help increase the likelihood that the player will continue to visit the platform and place bets, as the offers match their interests.

Thus, using AI to predict preferences helps online casinos not only offer players more relevant content, but also significantly increase engagement and satisfaction. This contributes to an increase in the frequency of repeat visits and bets, which is beneficial for both players and casino operators.

Impact on long-term player loyalty

Personalised offers and preference predictions have a significant impact on long-term player loyalty. When users see that a casino adapts to their needs and offers relevant bonuses and games, they feel valued and important to the platform. This, in turn, fosters a positive attitude and increases the duration of their interaction with the casino.

It is also worth noting that a personalised approach helps reduce fatigue from repetitive offers and standard promotions. For example, players who have already won several large sums can be offered bonuses that are not limited to bets, but also offer unique gaming opportunities that match their interests. This approach helps to retain the player’s attention, which significantly reduces the likelihood that they will leave the platform in search of new entertainment.

Using AI to analyse player behaviour and predict their preferences opens up new opportunities for online casinos to enhance the personalisation of the gaming experience. This approach not only increases player engagement and loyalty, but also contributes to the long-term success of the platform by creating a unique and engaging experience for each user.

Improving security and preventing fraud

Detecting suspicious activity

AI is capable of identifying anomalies in player behaviour, such as unusual bets or frequent account changes. This helps to respond quickly to possible cases of fraud and prevent financial losses.

Compliance with security standards

In the UK, online casinos are required to comply with strict security requirements. AI helps ensure compliance with these standards by automatically verifying transactions and user identification, reducing the risk of legal violations.

Improving customer service with AI

One of the key areas of application for artificial intelligence technologies in online casinos is improving customer service. AI can significantly improve the efficiency of communication with users, minimising response times and facilitating the resolution of standard and technical issues. The introduction of such technologies contributes to the creation of a more convenient and reliable gaming environment, increasing player satisfaction.

Chatbots and virtual assistants

One of the most striking examples of the use of AI in online casino customer service is chatbots and virtual assistants. These systems are capable of providing round-the-clock support, answering frequently asked questions, providing information about current promotions and bonuses, and helping players navigate the site.

Chatbots, built on natural language processing algorithms, can effectively interact with users by understanding and interpreting queries. For example, if a player encounters a problem during gameplay or cannot find the game they are looking for, the bot can instantly provide a solution by offering a link to the relevant page or suggesting possible steps to resolve the issue. This reduces the workload on support staff and allows players to get answers without delay, even during late hours.

In addition, virtual assistants can not only answer questions, but also offer personalised recommendations. For example, they can advise a user to try new games based on their preferences or provide information about current bonuses that are suitable for their playing style.
