In the fast-evolving world of telecommunications, small and medium-sized connectivity providers (SMBs) face a unique set of challenges. While the sector is being reshaped by 5G, cloud computing, and data-driven engagement, SMBs must navigate these changes with fewer resources, legacy infrastructure, and fierce competition from larger players. Yet, with the right strategies and technology partners, SMBs can not only keep pace but also carve out a distinct competitive advantage. Publicis Sapient is committed to helping these organizations modernize, compete, and grow—empowering them to thrive in a market traditionally dominated by giants.
