How are Telco’s Fairing?
Confidential 11
Global revenue of Telco’s set to
decline by 1% between 2017 -2018
Internet economy has affected entire economy
Confidential 12
50% Operators see OTT competitive pressure as a significant challenge
We know this …
Confidential 13
By 2018, 68% of mobile
applications will use API’s
… and this
Confidential 14
This is a total of
$ 157 Billionrevenue for telco API market
BUT working with Telcos is tough….
Confidential 15
Lack of agility….. primarily business processes makes
Telco’s slow to
respond
.. usually because they are not sure of this
Confidential 16
Are telco’s sitting on a
gold mine?
Opportunity cost simply too high
Confidential 17
Integrations are too complex
Business planning process
designed for large capex models
Unless you are a big ….
Confidential 18
But (Telco) jury is out on how ….
Confidential 19
Changing core systems … .....BSS /OSS transformation?
NO!! utility business transformation
process is way too long
Every integration another opportunity to do it right
Confidential 20
There is an option to grab the digital
opportunity at a fraction of the
usual cost and time needed in the
traditional path …..
If your integration can be re-used, use
API management NOT point integrations.
