Customer operations have evolved rapidly through the use of generative AI (GenAI) in the past couple of years, helping to modernize legacy systems. Now communications service providers (CSPs) are starting to turn their attention towards how agentic AI could be used to transform the customer experience. But there are challenges ahead including systems integration, cost and security.
In this report we look at how CSPs can address these challenges, where the value lies in integrating agentic AI into customer experience infrastructure and what are the roles for new standards Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A).
Read the report to understand:
- How customer-facing systems are evolving with AI
- How CSPs believe agentic AI will transform customer operations
- Why standards are needed to solve the biggest integration challenges as operators deploy agentic AI
- How CSPs expect to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A) in multiagent architectures
- Why cost is a concern, and why it’s difficult to prove the value of agentic AI.
