IDC OPINION This study leverages the IDC MarketScape framework to evaluate the leading regional and global telecommunications SPs in Asia/Pacific (AP). The primary focus of this study is to assess SPs' capabilities to meet the telecommunication and ICT needs of various customer segments. IDC identified the top 11 providers by scale and scope of operations in terms of strong regional network presence, suite of managed services offerings in the region, and large base of midsize and large-sized enterprises, multinational corporations (MNCs), and government clients across AP. The evaluation framework consists of a large variety of parameters, such as comprehensiveness of service offerings, datacenter and cloud capabilities, go-to-market strategy, growth strategy, partner ecosystem, and innovation strategy. There are several key differentiators among the telecommunications firms assessed that IDC noted for success in this market and of which buyers should be aware. A Comprehensive Portfolio of Software-Defined Networking and Virtual Network Services As traditional network offerings become table stakes, Communication SPs are increasingly using software-defined networking (SDN) to differentiate themselves. The benefits of SDN in the datacenter are well known; however, the expansion of SDN into disparate and often chaotic access networks has also become prevalent now.
