What are the real requirements for IPX

IP eXchange or IPX is one of the hot topics today and will be the subject of a 1 day Total Telecom conference on the 10 October.

But what do customers really think about IPX? Our partners at Hot Telecom have put together a report based on interviews with 70 customers to give you some insight.

The report covers:

• Define the current status of service providers' IP migration as a whole
• Validate what service providers understand of IPX and how they define it
• Identify the services and features customers really need and want
• Determine what is important for customers when choosing their IPX providers
• Understand what are the main factors delaying the use of IPX for operators not already using it and what makes migration difficult
• Define the differences in service providers' opinions and needs based on their region of operation and core service offering

So if you are serious about the IPX opportunity, buy the report and come along to the Total Telecom IPX Summit

Who’s who in telecom consulting

We are working again with Hot Telecom on a new report profiles the world’s top 37 telecom consulting firms, which account for over 90% of the industry’s total revenue.

The unchallenged market leader continues to be Accenture, with a market share of 17.8% but as telecom vendors have moved into this space, we have started to consider them in our tables. This moves Ericsson up to number 2 ahead of Alcatel-Lucent and traditional players like Deloitte and McKinsey, as illustrated by the graph below.
