CSG Recognized in Multi-Category Trusted Analyst Reports for CPQ, Monetization, and Digital Partner Management

The depth, innovation, and real-world impact of the company's telecom portfolio are what make CSG stand out in the industry

Communication service providers (CSPs) are under pressure to simplify complexity, monetize new services, and deliver experiences customers trust with speed and accuracy. To succeed, they need partners who can turn quote-to-cash and digital monetization into a competitive advantage, not just a back-office function.

Over the past year, CSG^® (NASDAQ:CSGS) has achieved multi-category recognition from leading analyst firms for doing exactly that. To CSG, these recognitions reinforce a role as a go-to partner for CSPs looking to move faster, unlock new revenue streams, and modernize their core with AI-powered, telco-specific platforms built for real-world complexity.

• CPQ Leadership for Complex B2B and B2B2X Monetization
  
  CSG Quote & Order continues to stand out for CSPs that need to configure complex offers, quote with confidence, and move from deal to revenue without friction.

• Agile, Extensible Digital Partner Management and Roaming Portfolio
  
  CSG digital partner management solutions earned strong recognition for how CSG helps CSPs anticipate risk, optimize inter-operator economics, and monetize roaming in a multi-network, 5G and IoT-driven environment. CSG was named a High-Flyer in the Kaleido Intelligence Roaming Vendor Hub across multiple categories, including Roaming Analytics, Roaming Testing, and Data & Financial Clearing.

Beyond individual products, analysts continue to recognize the breadth and strategic cohesion of the CSG portfolio. CSG is named in multiple Gartner® Market Guides used by CIOs and technology leaders to shape sourcing strategies and assess vendors' investment priorities, including:

• 2025 Gartner Market Guide for CSP B2B Digital Marketplace Solutions
• 2025 Gartner Market Guide for CSP Customer Management & Experience Solutions
• 2025 Gartner Market Guide for CSP Revenue Management and Monetization

"Almost every CSP talks about end-to-end transformation, but very few have the platforms, partners, and momentum to make it real," said Chad Dunavant, Chief Product & Strategy Officer, CSG. "To us, these recognitions show that CSG is doing exactly that—connecting CPQ, monetization, digital wholesale, and customer experience on a unified, AI-powered foundation built for telecom complexity, not generic use cases. As a result, CSG customers aren't just modernizing systems but changing the trajectory of their business. That's the bar we hold ourselves to every day, and it's energizing to see analysts recognize our solutions."
