Just like the browser sparked the growth of the web and e-business, mobile devices can bring new opportunities, business growth and IT spending in cloud services.Telcos can enhance the user experience by using the unique aspects of the network (e.g., location, QoS) and infrastructure to differentiate and monetize new and enhanced mobile cloud services. This will allow software companies and app developers to deploy a broad range of solutions over a single platform, without having to do additional integrations
Telcos, developers, and integrators need to define a clear, transversal and straightforward strategy. First they need to have a common understanding of the roles and responsibilities of all, in order to achieve a balanced market positioning. Telcos need to be aligned with other members of the value chain and ensure a joint business plan. Processes supporting purchase and usage of cloud services (billing, metering, and monitoring) need to be improved for enhanced service provision. Companies need to develop and adapt cloud offerings for the mobile cloud market. In addition, these services need to be developed in a network agnostic manner. The shifts in the cloud value chain change the dynamics between telcos, software firms and integrators. They can reach a large audience by shifting from competition to cooperation; addressing the B2B2C market, and transforming software vendors from suppliers to partners.
