Improving the customer experience is driving investments in IP passive probing and end-to-end performance monitoring.

The worldwide service assurance market is forecast to grow from USD2.5 billion in 2011 to USD3.6 billion in 2016. A large share of the growth is being fuelled by the IP probe segment and investments in service management. Customer experience is a key focus for CSPs in all regions in both developed and emerging markets. This will contribute to the service management market segment.

This Report provides:
  • a detailed worldwide forecast for spending on service assurance systems, split into:
  • five application segments – probe systems, fault and event management, performance monitoring, service management and workforce automation
  • four telecoms services (mobile, PSTN, business and residential broadband)
  • four geographical regions (Asia–Pacific; Caribbean and Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and North America).
  • a summary of the key trends and factors impacting the service assurance systems market between 2011 and 2016
  • an examination of the key market drivers and inhibitors for the service assurance market during the next five years
  • recommendations for suppliers and communications service providers
Please note: this is delivered as a PowerPoint presentation.

5.Executive summary
6.Worldwide service assurance system forecast: 2011–2016
7.Network upgrades and the increase in mobile data traffic are driving growth in all regions for next-generation assurance software systems
8.Improving the customer experience is driving investments in IP passive probing and end-to-end performance monitoring
9.Assurance investments in NA are driven by a few large CSPs supporting LTE and FTTx. Growth in EMEA and APAC will be driven by new services
10.Recommendations
11.Recommendations for CSPs
12.Recommendations for suppliers
13.Forecasts
14.Probe systems outlook
15.The migration to IP will spur a large round of investments in service assurance systems to support mobile data, video and IMS services
16.North American CSPs are actively investing in new systems and we expect that Europe and APAC will follow this trend in the next year
17.Fault and event management outlook
18.CSPs appear to be satisfied with their current fault management systems and we do not expect many new large deployments or change outs
19.Most operators in developed markets will selectively add support for new services rather than make big investments
20.Service management outlook
21.Service management projects are tied to mobile data services
22.Customer retention is the most important business challenge for CSPs in NA and Europe to predict high-risk, high-value subscriber defection
23.Performance monitoring outlook
24.System consolidation to support fixed–mobile convergence and unification of network domains are fundamental drivers of growth
25.Next-generation performance management systems will help operators to improve service quality at a lower price
26.Workforce automation outlook
27.The economic benefit of workforce automation solutions is to improve labour efficiency and reduce truck rolls
28.North American CSPs invest twice as much as Western European operators in workforce automation software
29.Market drivers and inhibitors
30.Market drivers and inhibitors
31.Service assurance market drivers [1]
32.Service assurance market drivers [2]
33.Service assurance market inhibitors
34.Business environment
35.Economic setbacks are forecast for 2012, but growth is expected to return in 2013, with emerging and developing markets leading the way
36.The business environment
37.Capex growth will be strongest in APAC and CALA, but APAC and EMEA will account for two-thirds of the total spend during the forecast period
38.Most of the growth in subscriber numbers will occur in emerging markets in APAC and EMEA
39.In developed markets, demand for FTTx (FTTH and VDSL) has gradually picked up in 2011, and we expect continued improvement until 2014
40.Understanding consumer smartphone data traffic and network usage through on-device measurement – (Wi-Fi) off loaders by nature
41.Mobile traffic continues to grow dramatically worldwide, while the number of connections grows more gradually
42.The business environment by region in 2011
43.Regional outlook for 2012: APAC will continue to represent the greatest opportunity
