Abstract
“OSS Observer forecasts that the SOA software component market will grow
from USD280 million in 2007 to USD910 million in 2012 at a CAGR of 27%.”
Product overview
The major drivers for SOA investments in the telecoms market are the need for
service agility and the ability to respond to market changes as players from
the media, Internet and entertainment sectors reshape the industry. Operators
want to bring new services to the market faster and streamline operational and
IT systems to respond to changing business models.
SOA-related projects have been underway for at least five years in the
telecoms market, albeit on a small scale. During the next five years,
operators will become more ambitious and pursue more of an enterprise-wide SOA
strategy.
