About the Service Fulfillment Market
Service fulfillment refers to a set of tools that facilitate management of network infrastructure life cycle across stages, such as service order management, activation and provisioning, inventory management, and network management. CSPs are predominantly leveraging network infrastructure (as a functional platform) to transmit information electronically between the sender and receiver across the telecommunication and internet service channels. However, the exponential rise in information that is being transmitted through the communication network leads to congestion of the networks. This minimizes the efficiency of telecom service providers in terms of transmitting information, thus leading to potential loss of business. Hence, service fulfillment is predominantly used to optimize the efficiency of CSPs, decrease the market implementation time, reduce lag across various communication channels, optimize cost (especially operational cost of CSPs and networks), and increase level of automation in a network. The category spend momentum is attributed to the popularity of portable Internet-enabled devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Usage of these devices entails better Internet connectivity which is driving the category demand during the forecast period.
