Overview:
Technology has lowered market entry barriers for communications services, enabling a multitude of companies from many domains to compete for subscribers and for wallet share. Service providers need a way to move beyond the commoditization of these services. Many fail to recognize that Web services offer a way to deliver new services to a demanding subscriber base, retain existing customers, attract new customers and grow revenue.

This white paper examines the nature of Web Services and how service providers can use them to deliver new services and applications to subscribers. Discover the benefits a Web Services system brings to service provider networks, and explore how those benefits can be augmented by balancing Web Services with real-time network protocols. Learn how Service Delivery Environment (SDE) combines real-time policy and call control capabilities with the benefits of Web Services to deliver new value from existing network assets.
