The global
market for operations support systems (OSS)—the computing and software IT
infrastructure that performs engineering, provisioning, and management functions
in telecommunications networks—will exceed $46 billion in 2008, explains a new
report by Insight Research.
Telecommunications industry spending for OSSes is expected to lag only slightly
the forecasted growth in service revenue over the next five years, indicating
that the industry is fully expecting sustainable growth in the years ahead.
According
to
Operations Support Systems, 2007-2012, telecommunications network
operators worldwide are forecasted to increase their investment in OSSes at a
compounded rate of just over eight percent over the next five years. North
American investment in the computing and software systems used to acquire,
serve, and bill customers will lag worldwide investment, growing at a compounded
rate of nearly six percent over the same period, while OSS expenditures made by
carriers in the Asia Pacific and Latin America-Caribbean regions will grow at
double digit rates. The report found that telecommunications service providers
are investing most heavily in those OSSes needed to support 3G data services.
By the end of the forecast period, OSS spending to support broadband wireless
will be more than double the amount being spent on wireline OSSes.
“The
carrier community has fully recovered its confidence and is investing in OSSes
at nearly the same rate that consumers and businesses are picking up new
wireline and wireless services,” says Insight
president Robert Rosenberg. “Our research suggests that terrific growth
is ahead for those OSSes needed to support 3G wireless services. RF planning and
engineering tools and the professional service need to support them,
carrier-to-carrier billing and service provisioning tools, as well as
customer-accessible service management systems all appear to be growth areas in
the months ahead,” concluded Rosenberg.
Operations Support Systems, 2007-2012
forecasts global IT infrastructure spending for billing, customer care,
planning/engineering, provisioning/inventory, trouble repair, network
management, business management, and workforce management systems. It also
projects the professional services expenditures required to implement those
systems by type of carrier in four regions: North America; Europe, the Middle
East, and Africa; Asia/Pacific; and Latin America/Caribbean.
