Infonetics: SDP Spending will Reach $5.2B in 2015; Oracle Leads

  

A new survey from Infonetics Research results "demonstrate a growing sophistication around the applications and capabilities that operators are using SDPs to support, particularly those that relate to operators' content strategies, such as enabling developer communities and integrating with third-party content providers," according to Shira Levine (picture), directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy.

An example for a leading carrier content strategy was provided just few days ago by France Telecom's CEO - here.

Other findings are:

• Infonetics expects operators will spend $5.2 billion globally in 2015 on fixed-line and mobile SDP software and services ; top three SDP suppliers, are Oracle [see chart below], followed closely by Ericsson and Huawei.

• For the third year in a row, faster time to market was the top business driver behind operators' SDP deployments, while the ability to better enable a developer community and integration with third-party content providers moved up the list of drivers compared to Infonetics’ 2010 survey (see chart)
