Research and Markets: Telecoms Software Professional Services: Worldwide Forecast 2014-2018


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5t3nx3/telecoms_software) has announced the addition of the "Telecoms Software Professional Services: Worldwide Forecast 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The worldwide market for telecoms software professional services (TSPS) was worth USD54 billion in 2013 and will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% to reach USD67 billion in 2018. The worldwide revenue growth rate for TSPS will slow because outsourcing will become commoditised and communications service providers (CSPs) will focus on evaluating new technologies and opportunities, rather than implementing, them during the next 3 years.

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Telecoms software professional services growth will slow as outsourcing becomes commoditised and CSPs evaluate innovative services
  2. Product-related services will be the highest-growth segment because CSPs will adopt COTS for transformations and will retire legacy systems
  3. Revenue will grow in all regions for different reasons, and developed and emerging markets will both drive growth in all TSPS segments
  4. Recommendations
  5. CSPs need innovative TSPS models that will enable them to incrase revenue and maintain the customer experience, while reducing costs
  6. Forecasts
  7. Business consulting growth will be incremental, as CSPs seek new opportunities and innovate with technologies, operations and businesses
  8. Fixed-mobile convergence, network virtualisation and analytics will drive the next wave of design consulting growth
  9. Increased adoption of COTS for transformation projects to reduce cost and improve efficiency will drive product-related services growth
  10. Systems integration growth will slow as CSPs adopt multi-vendor COTS solutions for transformations and new service launches
  11. Custom development will be driven by the lack of COTS in emerging areas that CSPs are exploring, and is complemented by internal development
  12. Outsourced operations have become a commodity and the number of non-differentiated contracts will hinder growth until 2016
  13. Growth in hosted managed services will slow because Tier 1 CSPs are sceptical about suppliers' SaaS (News - Alert) models and security for digital services
  14. Market drivers and inhibitors
  15. Business environment
  16. CSPs focused on reducing costs and staying competitive, but displayed some signs of innovating in the TSPS market in 2013
  17. Revenue growth was highest in NA, but revenue declined in EMEA
  18. Growth improved in APAC because of LTE (News - Alert) deployments in emerging APAC and LTE upgrades in developed APAC, and growth returned to LATAM
  19. Regional outlook for 2014-2015
  20. Capex, opex and revenue declined and subscriber numbers grew, as CSPs focused more on cost reduction than revenue generation
  21. CSPs were reactive in 2013 and need to innovate to move beyond being progressive CSPs' towards being proactive CSPs'
  22. A scenario analysis model - how TSPS could break the mould of the traditional business-as-usual' attitude in the telecoms industry
  23. CSPs gained confidence in their business and operations in 2013, and began evaluating new opportunities with and without TSPS from suppliers
  24. Market definition
  25. Telecoms software market segmentation
  26. Infrastructure solution categories
  27. Definition of geographical regions
  28. Software strategies deal with the operational steps necessary for software systems to produce business benefits
  29. Key business drivers and market characteristics and how they map to different operational and software strategies
  30. Our comprehensive forecast model is supported by a sound knowledge of markets
