Advance wireless technologies, proliferation of broadband Internet and next generation computing, evolution of End to End IP convergence,  and Ubiquitous pervasive communications are some of the major trends driving the emergence of the world as global “ digital information society”. Over the next decade, these trends are set to draw the course of future development of global Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industry.

According to Evollab market research, there are five major trends that are going to draw the course of future development of global Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industry for next one decade or so. These trends can be summarized as (a) dominance of advanced wireless technologies (b) broadband proliferation (c) End to End IP Convergence (d) Ubiquitous & all pervasive communications and (e) emergence of an “Information Society”.

Convergence holds the key for evolution of a true “Information Society” where every individual and every thing is digitally interconnected in their personal, social and work lives. Convergence it self is a quite intricate phenomenon and has affected a shift in the traditional telecom value chain.

To overcome the challenges due to convergence and to continue to retain their strong position in the telecom value chain the telecom operators need to adopt Transformation. “Transformation as defined by Evollab is evolutionary processes that addresses the challenges of the convergence and provides for an innovative business model & new revenue generating streams that assure reduced costs & sustained profitability for the operators”.
