Re: NFV Major Role in Transformation
@Mike, interesting poll. This should reinforce the growing consensus, led by AT&T, that service providers need a new design and "system" to fully take advantage of the new market opportunities being created.
NFV, and virtualization, really develops these markets by adding value as well through the connections and platforms to the added functionality of the technology itself. That enhanced service capability will put them in the lead in the services and packages they can offer the customers. It truly does require a transformation.

Re: NFV Major Role in Transformation
I have to say I'm a bit surprised that big data only gets 14%. After all the hype we've heard about it for the past 5 years, I'd think it would have commanded at least 20%. But it's also possible that some of the businesses feel that they're already incorporating big data and so do not foresee a transformation based on appying the technology in the future;.

Re: NFV Major Role in Transformation
@bayte, thanks! I think we are all learning the impact of the evolving technologies and transformations continually taking place. That's why I think polls are important, and relevant sources (like Telco Transformation) that keep us aligned with the real market developments and shifting priorities.

Re: NFV Major Role in Transformation
@Ariella, true, but I believe it is accurate in that the true digital transformation will be most impacted by the continued development and use of NFV and SDN. The virtualization and networking compounds and truly transforms the digital capabilities and drives added data points. It makes data a "continuous" feed as opposed to siloed data sets.
Re: NFV Major Role in Transformation
And keep in mind that each communications service provider is different, and that they have to keep the current customers happy while they are implementing these changes. The promise of SDN/NFV and virtualization is real, but there are lots of moving parts. Some of the smaller service providers are going to sit on the sidelines while the bigger ones sort through the pain points.

Deutsche Telekom one to watch
AT&T and Telefonica have been two of the most outspoken operators on NFV, but I think Deutsche Telekom is another big European operator to watch in this area. Their whole all-IP strategy, which entails running everything in Europe over all-IP systems and networks by 2018, is very much geared to providing a foundation for the New IP and they've already started pilots of services based on these principles in several of their central European markets.

@imorris Interesting, do you know if they have results in from the pilot programs already? Or are they still in progress now?
