Application & Independent Software Vendors

The ever expanding mobile communications landscape is evolving into more and more of a global delivery arena for application and software vendors. Fast wireless networks and more sophisticated mobile devices have paved the way for innovative, multimedia applications and software - from mass market initiatives such as gaming and social networking to focused niche applications, spawning significant new market opportunities across a variety of industries.

Software vendors face several challenges in this changing landscape:

• Resources need to scale up or down in alignment with business cycles; this is especially relevant to device porting and device testing activities
• Desired competence levels for R&D projects
• Independent testing houses for validation and product qualification are required
• There is a need for strategic SI partners who can scale and cover deployment/ implementation of services in all operator accounts
