A Scenario of Service-Oriented Principles Adaptation to the Telecom Providers Service Delivery Platform

Telecom service providers face a challenge how to increase average revenue per user by new-generation services. In view of the fact that it is extremely difficult to predict the success of the certain kind of service(s), as a result the providers are in need for a dynamic architecture that has to be capable to deliver new services promptly, add resources for successful services as demand increases, or remove unsuccessful services effortlessly. Such architecture has to be a modular standards-based service platform that supports different protocols and interfaces as well as QoS-based transformations and gateways. The potential candidate for this delivery platform is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Thus, the aim of our work is to develop a SOA implementation methodology considering telecom service providers existing enterprise network architecture and potential future growth.
