<p>Blink and you&#8217;ll find the telecommunications industry is changed. Competition is increasing and subscriber expectations are growing. Service providers—existing and new—seek new and better ways to differentiate themselves and gain market share. To be successful, today&#8217;s telecom companies must break down current cost-intensive information silos to increase efficiency and improve responsiveness.</p>
<p>IBM and Oracle have an outstanding track record for delivering business value in the telecom industry and providing solutions that offer end-to-end support for the key business processes within telecom companies—from service creation, offer management and order orchestration, through provisioning and service delivery, billing, revenue assurance and reporting. IBM and Oracle share a commitment to open standards that uniquely positions us to offer high-value, market-leading, differentiated telecom solutions.</p>
<p>At the apex of this alliance is the IBM Oracle BSS and OSS transformation solution. Providers need to offer attractive services and bundles while reducing complexity and lowering high-cost structures. The BSS and OSS transformation solution can help you roll out services rapidly and flexibly. And that can help you maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and increase average revenue per user while reaching new markets. </p>

With the advent of wireless technologies, the emerging markets have witnessed a tremendous amount of growth in not only providing connectivity but driving innovations to make telecoms smarter. In fact, many of the Service Providers in emerging economies are leapfrogging their counterparts in developed markets in delivering new and exciting applications at incredibly lower prices.</p>
<p>In this video program, TelecomTV examines the shift in the balance of power as the status quo crumbles and old business models  and old certainties  collapse.</p>
