| NOTAS: | "The telecoms industry is in a period of transition. Long gone are the times when telcos had monopolistic control of services in a given region. Standards for service delivery and customer experience have changed drastically and telcos must invest in technology that will support these new market conditions. Telco IT budgets are modestly increasing. The growing complexity of services and strategic partnerships, as well as the demand to deliver digital services, means that telcos must invest wisely in IT that is conducive to innovation, but that also provides agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency, and allows telcos to respond in real time to changes in the market. In this report, Ovum looks ahead to 2016 and identifies the changes and developments in the telecoms market and explores the trends in technology development from vendors and areas of investment for telcos. This brief is essential reading for executives looking to identify telcos' technology priorities over the next 12–18 months and to understand the resulting opportunities." |
