Telecom companies evolve new business models dealing with IOT
Internet service providers, social media companies, content providers, and app makers is compelling telecom companies to evolve new business models and innovative offerings to enhance customer experience and reduce customer churn. However, in the new digital ecosystem, retaining new customers or acquiring new ones is only part of the challenge. Businesses struggle to monetize value-added services from customers accustomed to free Internet content. Additionally, telecom companies look for operational efficiency to sustain their advantage in the traditional value chain or traditional networks while keeping costs low.
With end-to-end Business Process Management and process engineering services telecom companies can transform their value chain. Although we would love to be able to have increased BPO and Precess engineering consulting work from the major carriers around the world we are progressively finding that the carriers themselves are well equipped on the IT and executive side to drive innovation. Where they fall short is how to multitask their engineering and development teams cost effectively around a myriad of projects with conflicting priorities and budgets.
We believe that outsourcing has to be more than high cost BPM or low cost body shopping. It has to be somewhere in the middle providing affordable and efficient resources that can pivot with agile sprints while also collaborating on creating new ways to monetize new services made relevant by contextual data mined in in the developmental process.
Mobile IOT
Mobile now touches all aspects of business and consumer lifestyles on all devices, in real time, leveraging contextual information from the network for relevancy. From Aviation and Defense Carriers like AT&T and Verizon have huge value adds if the take their smart pipes with fast time to market asset tracking and monitoring solutions. And of the consumer digital lifestye equally fast the carriers need to push their LTE M networks o support specific applications and solutions the impact the efficiencies in peoples lives.
To at the appropriate speed to remain relevant and maximize profit, outsourcing sprint projects is the ONLY way to meet budget and calendar objectives But to companies that speak AMERICAN English, with strong Mathematics and Data Sciences skills, which can only happen with America centric firms using CEE resources. Asian first will end up with huge delays on quality when it comes down to final testing and cerfification.
We do all certification here in the US and Europe and development with partners in CEE.
Conclusion
The the answer to the question should telecomms outsource development overseas or hire a developer depends on the situation and usually is a hybrid. If someone is a technical founder who can easily relay technical requirements, judge code, and cut through the crap that may be the best solution.
Another alternative many entrepreneurs don’t consider is hiring a U.S. based freelance developer. Increasingly, talented developers are choosing the freelance lifestyle and the flexibility it promises: ability to work on a wide range of projects and opportunity to travel. These developers tend to enjoy working
If you’re looking for a developer, and you’re deciding whether to outsource overseas, I’d recommend asking yourself these questions:
- What am I looking for in a developer?
- What capabilities and experience is required (tracking, IOT, embedded systems.)
- What state of the art solutions use our partners work?
- Can I write comprehensive technical requirements?
- How important are collaboration and feedback to the success of my project?
- Where does cost fit into the equation?
