HP has announced a powerful telecom software that can help service providers tap Web 2.0 to spark growth in wireless revenue. The HP Service Delivery Platform (HP SDP) has brought out this new virtual “sandbox” in which developers can create new web-based applications, widgets and mash-ups on the service provider’s wireless network. The new technologies in HP SDP 3.0 make service creation easy, fast and rewarding for independent developers.
“Service providers are much better positioned to tap the new Web 2.0 revenue opportunities with HP SDP 3.0,” said Kapil Kaul, Country Manager, Communications and Media Solutions, HP Software & Solutions. “Leading service providers know that SDPs must now be enriched with vibrant service creation ecosystems. Creative application developers are the key, and HP SDP 3.0 is designed to attract armies of them.”
Web 2.0 services can involve complex revenue sharing among content providers, developers and network operators. So, HP SDP 3.0 now includes specific resources to handle micro transactions, manage revenue streams and help service providers build a successful revenue sharing business model.
The new tools, built on a standards-based service-oriented architecture (SOA), reduce costs and complexity by replacing multiple service silos with a single, unified resource layer. The common layer gives developers simplified, secure access to the underlying network and its key enabling technologies such as location and presence. Several of the new tools incorporate HP business technology optimization software.
The new HP technology also broadens the domain for non-telecom independent software developers, giving them the right tools to build innovative applications and thus tapping on the unique capabilities of the wireless network.
