Services Transformation

For service providers to thrive in the coming decades their infrastructures must evolve into agile delivery mechanisms that accelerate service innovation and offer applications consumers and businesses demand. They must simultaneously reduce operating costs, capital investments and operational complexity. Service providers must leverage the power of the Web and application developer ecosystems to achieve faster time-to-market, adapt to new business models, and generate new revenue. This services transformation is achieved through the Service Delivery Environment (SDE).

The SDE is a blueprint for sharing common capabilities across multiple applications and is a key element for network service providers taking advantage of an application enablement strategy. The Alcatel-Lucent SDE, an open framework, links third-party applications with network resources, service enhancements, and operations for creation of personalized services.

The SDE enables service providers to leverage their assets for increased revenue growth. It moves away from the traditional "silo" model of service delivery and enables the rapid creation of context aware, blended services at a lower cost. Most importantly, it helps service providers adapt to new business models while attracting and retaining subscribers.
