Service Delivery Platform

Service Delivery Platform (SDP)

With increasing diversity in customer needs, it is vital to be able to provide new services quickly and cost-effectively. Service Delivery Platforms provide a means to achieve efficient service delivery by using the common network services. It is essential to be able to provide as many services as possible, since it is hard to predict which services will become successful. By sharing the common service functions among different services, Service Delivery Platforms realise quick and cost-effective initial development with scalability for potential expansion. By hiding the complexity of various network technologies, Service Delivery Platforms facilitate an easier environment to create added-value services by combining conventionally separated services.
