Billing & OSS World Special Report: Service Assurance Moves up the Priority Ladder

As service complexity increases due to many factors including third-party developers, open networks, convergence and the use of real-time policy controls, the ability to assure the delivery and quality of those services from both providers view and the customers -let alone charge them for accurately - has driven a renewed and immediate interest in service assurance solutions.

Analysys Mason expects the service assurance market to still grow by 8.3 percent compound annual growth rate into 2014 when the market will be worth $3.4 billion. Most growth will come in next generation, IP-based solutions.
