Market VoIP services are changing the face of Telecommunications and offer players the possibility of new revenue streams

 

The Telecom Market is changing dynamically. The proliferation of data networks and wireless networks are setting the ground for true convergence and the need for one network, NGN (Next Generation Network) is now a reality. Incumbent operators and alternative carriers such as ISPs and cable companies, wireless carriers and media companies have all now found themselves able to deliver content and services to their customers.

The need for the NGN network has increased the requirement for centralized hosted solutions able to manage the complexities of the new technological evolution and revolution. Traditional solutions require expensive support and technical services from IT companies and telecom staff to support Residential and Enterprise PBX deployments.

Companies are looking to move to integrating networks. They need to cut costs on mobile, IP and telecom networks. They need to address the ever increasing remote human resources cost effectively that are required to support legacy infrastructure.

The trend is to move Telco and Data systems to one location, large enterprises and SME's are moving to hosted solutions by service providers. IT departments in companies are under pressure to reduce costs of Telecoms and outsource all non-core functions.

The market for VoIP software infrastructure in Europe will rise from €54.9 million in 2004 to €950 million by 2009, according to the tech research firm Forrester Group. 95% of enterprises and Service providers surveyed by Ovum expect to transition to an IP based network over the next 5 years and are currently evaluating software service components.
