Network and Ecosystem Innovation = Business Value Proposition
Service providers all agree that their networks are a strategic asset, but they also concur that they are under increasing pressure to extract maximum value from this asset. Consequently, pressure is forcing the industry to undergo a metamorphosis in relation to architectures, platforms and ecosystems to realize maximum value and drive innovation. Addressing relevance, growing opportunities and positioning against dynamic competition along with issues of convergence, scalability, efficiency, standardization, and manageability are all factors that have a direct impact on their profitability and ability to offer new services and products. The network is no longer only the vehicle by which innovation happens. One simply has to look at the proliferation of cloud computing, mobile Internet, mobile devices, social networking and media to know that the network is both the driver and the innovator of new technology.
Innovation is fueling an interest in network architectures that build on optimization and consolidation — increasingly, a requirement for all service providers. Legacy systems, which hinder innovation, although not yet obsolete are quickly becoming an anachronism, and service providers need to move rapidly to retire them as new services and competition put more pressure on decision makers to employ cost-efficient and new business solutions.
Given the active nature of the telecom market, service providers must be able to adapt quickly and make sound infrastructure and financial decisions that relate to their networks and partners. Juniper Network addresses the dynamics affecting the industry by introducing disruptive networking innovation that offers horizontal stack and allows for integration as well as focuses on customers and ecosystems, both of which are a vital component of any industry solution.
