Operators Using Policy Management to Innovate Services and Pricing Will Shift Vendor LandscapeBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 2013 Policy Management Strategies and Vendor Leadership: Global Service Provider Survey, which provides insights into the investment drivers, strategies, and integration efforts of operators deploying policy management solutions, as well as their thoughts on leading policy vendors. ANALYST NOTE "Bandwidth (News - Alert) management continues to be a primary driver behind policy management spending, but this year's survey confirms once again that policy is expanding beyond its traditional realm, assuming a key role in operators' strategies around innovative services and pricing," notes Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics. Levine adds: "This shift is driving new requirements for policy solution capabilities, with flexibility and scalability becoming increasingly important and causing some major shifts in the vendor landscape as operators swap out systems that aren't meeting their needs."
