Transformation of Telecos

What Analysts say:

IDC: Next year will be marked by VoIP finally entering the mainstream, with an acceleration of high volume cut-over deals by large enterprises, and the large-scale delivery of mainstream consumer offerings announced last year by the incumbent carriers.

Further consolidation in the telecoms industry is described by IDC as "inevitable" in 2005.

The analyst predicts that telcos and cable companies will continue their battle for dominance in the consumer market with the introduction of "grand slam" offerings that bundle wireless voice with "triple play" bundles of fixed voice, broadband and cable TV.

ReFactoring

This is a series of steps involved in moving from a less optimal solution to a preferred one. Bad practices in software and architecture design can lead to inefficient designs. The use of Patterns refactoring is a approach that can be used to optimise the design for better reuse; maintainability, scalability and adaptability for future needs.

Challenges

• instilling these values in the corporate culture

• trade-offs between patterns for ideal capabilities and performance and design considerations

• trade-offs when channel needs to “step out of the box” and implement new or non-compliant capabilities versus maintaining coordinated core common services
