Telecom data, analytics, Big Data, Analytics, Telecom APIs, and Data as a Service.

In our digital age where the mobility is at the heart of each daily process and interactions, it is henceforth clear that, carriers have unmatched opportunities to offer Business-to-Business (B2B) services on a DaaS basis, representing a fast growing secondary and revenue stream.

For those unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, DaaS is defined as any service offered wherein users can access vendor provided databases or host their own databases on vendor managed systems. 

Telecommunications service providers acquire and maintain substantial structured and unstructured (Big) data.

Carriers have centralized Subscriber Data Management (SDM) systems, which consolidate and organize data from various sources such as HLR, HSS, and other data repositories. 

Carriers have also access to a plethora of data from various "Big Data" sources such as OSS/BSS, system monitoring and performance management systems including Self Organizing Networks (SON). 

According to Research and Markets, the Big Data driven telecom analytics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 49% between 2015 and 2020, accounting for $7.6 Billion in annual revenue by 2020. The Telecom APIs market is expected to account for $167.5 Billion in global revenues worldwide by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 26% between 2015 and 2020. The overall DaaS market will reach $271.9B globally by 2020.
