Overview:
 
This report bundle represents the most informative research on the market for Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) solutions and market opportunities.  It evaluates the potential for SDP as a dependable, scalable and flexible platform for core business functions, next generation applications, and independent services. SDP is examined within the context of its relationship to the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the objectives to respond more rapidly to shifts in market conditions, customer demands, new revenue opportunities, and competitive threats. The report includes revenue forecasts by geography, function, and media type from 2009 through 2015.
 
Recognizing the view that the future of telecom applications will be driven by IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), yet IMS is expensive and will take much longer to implement than SDP, we also provide forecasting and analysis into the market for IMS applications.
 
This publication will also help the reader understand the basics of SDP and IMS architecture, functionality and capabilities.
