NaaS is evolving from on-demand connectivity toward automated network service supply chains spanning service providers, data centers, Internet exchanges, cloud and security providers, and other ecosystem partners.
Mplify’s latest research focuses on implementation depth: how broadly providers participate as buyers and sellers across automated partner relationships, the transaction models they use, how far automation extends across the service lifecycle, and the breadth of services they can transact and automate.
The research also examines AI-assisted workflows, MCP-enabled interaction, agent-to-agent coordination, federation, operational barriers, and evolving enterprise requirements.
As LSO adoption expands worldwide, industry maturity will increasingly depend on how effectively providers scale standardized automation across partners, processes, payloads, and AI-enabled ecosystems.
Explore how automation is scaling across the NaaS ecosystem.
