Over last three months or so many things have happened to Global tech industry with potentially large impacts to India. Proliferation of Big Data technology in various areas of operations, Big Ticket Acquisition of Telecom giant Nokia and finally Big Fall in Rupee value particularly against the US Dollar are events concerning India and the users based out of India.We will try to visualise different scenarios arising out of this turn of events and see how our T&M industry can cope with and if possible turn any challenges to some sort of opportunity for growing the Economy and the Employment generation activity here.
The events really cross the two major sectors- Computations and Communications industry.Today the ability of a particular technology is getting constricted by the processing of big data generated by the sensors,devices and networks in operations.Both the pipes and Devices are handling huge amount of data flow through them.Its leverage through systematic analytics, processing and interpretation and watch is important to all-from marketeers to Security apparatus and Policy Planners.Since sensors and networks alongwith devices are involved role of the T&M instruments and Systems become critical. This will get manifested in new protocols,and also the linkages to the various OSS/BSS extracted from these Networks.
Likewise the acquisition of a Mobile Devices Company by OS vendor (who will own several Patents of inheritance and now new Nokia wealth) will change the game of competitive space in such convergence.Again T&M space will impact the proper integration of Hardware and Software so that the costs are managed well here. It just so happens that the stakes for both Microsoft and Nokia feature phones primarily are very high in India market !
Lastly but perhaps most significantly for Indian users, the Rupee price realisation for these personal devices and phones,or any gizmo designed at the intersection will change drastically due to Global Currency movements,affordability by mid and new users.Even the attrition and churning of big partners ecosystems will impact number of feet on the street one way or the other.We will see in subsequent posts what T&M industry can do to cash the opportunity due to these developments? Watch this space.
