Following a 53% increase in 2007 and an expected 28% increase in 2008, the worldwide service delivery platform (SDP) software and integration services market is forecast by Infonetics Research to top $3.5 billion in 2011.
Infonetics' recently updated report, Service Delivery Platform Software and Integration Services, confirms that mobile and fixed line service providers are aggressively deploying SDPs or working with integrators to streamline how they create and deliver new services.
Beyond transitioning existing OSS and BSS systems into Web services environments using XML, Java, and BPEL, service delivery platforms are being deployed to help integrate third-party services, especially on the mobile side, the report states.
"Operators we've spoken with believe service delivery platforms are critical elements to top-line revenue growth, especially among mobile subscribers. SDPs decrease time-to-market and drive revenue by tying new service creation and delivery to existing operational software and business processes. Because of tough economic conditions around the world, though, some operators will cut new software enhancements and have systems integrators expand on the modules they have already purchased.
"Telecom networks are becoming more open and accessible, and we expect many more services and applications to become available from both inside and outside of the operator domain.
