Infonetics Research: Mobile advertising, app stores driving service delivery platform market(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CAMPBELL, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/17/09 -- Market research firm Infonetics Research released the second edition of its 2009 Service Delivery Platform Software and Services report, which tracks fixed-line and wireless SDP software and services. ANALYST NOTE "Mobile advertising and 'app stores' are two of the key drivers behind service provider investment in service delivery platform software and services because of their potential as significant new revenue sources. Operators such as Maxis are already implementing mobile advertising solutions that include location-based advertising and SMS ad insertion, and nearly every major service provider is at least evaluating the feasibility of implementing its own app store, including a service delivery environment capable of supporting this new revenue source. However, operators must implement those strategies within the next year, or risk being left in the dust by competitors such as Apple, Google, and the device manufacturers," advises Shira Levine, directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy at Infonetics Research. SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM MARKET HIGHLIGHTS -- Infonetics forecasts the worldwide service delivery platform software and services market to roughly double from 2008 to 2013, when it will reach $4.0 billion -- Oracle is the worldwide revenue leader in the SDP software segment, while Ericsson leads the SDP services segment -- Though many operators continue to take a "walled garden" approach to content delivery strategies, a growing number are looking to deliver more innovative services and better monetize their network assets by exposing network and service enablers for use by third party developers, and charging for that access -- In the short term, operators will use SDPs to help streamline the creation and delivery of basic services, including VoIP, ringtones, and streaming video services; later, they will be used to create "mashups" and other Web-based applications to compete with those offered by Google, Yahoo!, and other Web 2.0 Internet content providers (ICPs) REPORT SYNOPSIS Infonetics' service delivery platform report provides market size, vendor market share, forecasts through 2013, market drivers, and analysis for fixed-line and wireless SDP software and services.
