Managed services solutions

In past few years, managed services gained momentum, driven by service providers willing to cut capex and operating costs and better mitigating the risks associated with innovation. Lucent, Ericsson and few others were the main winners in this market. Managed services enable mobile operators to rapidly launch innovative applications and services, explore new business opportunities, while limiting costs and risk. In-Stat forecasts that the overall mobile managed services market is projected to more than double over the next five years – growing from $22bn in 2006 to $52bn in 2010. It also found that traditional managed services, such as customer care and billing and network management, will continue to grow but will be eclipsed by rapidly growing markets for managed application services (MAS) and mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) solutions.
