ITU Workshop on “Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) for

Telecommunication Ecosystems: from today’s realities to requirements and

challenges of the future”(Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2011 )

Focus of this Presentation

The needs of the Breadth Service DeveloperThe needs of the Communications Service Provider Microsoft’s Interest

2

Difficult to manage the hybrid cloud

Time-to-market is increasingly

becoming the main differentiator,

however internal innovation slow and expensive with little

re-use

Effort to create telco development

communities and APIs having limited success

Innovation on the “web” bypassing telco

Complex monetization models

The Business Problem

3

Cost and complexity of establishing business

relationships

Lack of standardized management support –

the hidden cost

Richness of API feature set very limited

APIs too telco centricFew and rigid business

models

Lack of governance, tooling and 3rd party composition limits organic innovation

Development environments too domain specific

Limitations of Current Telecom SDPs

4

Expose more and richer capabilities

from network, OSS/BSS and the

cloud(s)

Provide an environment where

cloud developers can mash-up, make

improvements and add to the library

Define and expose a standard set of management

functions

Provide structured capability to expose

services across many developer

communities

Expose the tools to enable end to end

management over the hybrid cloud

Enable multiple flexible business models

(“Business Model as a Service”)

New Requirements

Key Areas of Focus by Telcos• Enabling a Richer Developer Experience• Common Tools• Richer Application Sets• Effective usage of 3G, 4G/LTE network services for

enhanced user experience. • Managing end-to-end across:• Service Layer• Cloud Resource Layer• Network Infrastructure Layer

• Enabling Telco 3G, 4G/LTE capabilities to be combined with Applications for competitive advantage.
