Telecommunications service providers acquire and maintain substantial structured and unstructured (Big) data. Leading carriers have centralized Subscriber Data Management (SDM) systems, which consolidate and organize data from various sources such as HLR, HSS, and other data repositories. In addition, carriers have 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).

Carriers have an excellent opportunity to offer Business-to-Business (B2B) services on a DaaS basis, representing a fast growing secondary and revenue stream. The Big Data driven telecom analytics market alone is expect to grow at a CAGR of nearly 50% between 2014 and 2019.

By the end of 2019, the market will eventually account for $5.4 Billion in annual revenue.
