From Telco to SoftTelco
• Significant shift in business model– N-sided business models– Multiple revenue profiles (PAYG, subscription, …)– Disruption to current pricing structures– Price sensitivity determines the price balance
between the market sides– Goal is to maximise revenue overall– Example: newspapers typically have lower cover
prices to maximise readership, which maximises advertising revenues

WS Business Models
1) The problem with many proposed Internet services is that you are left with nothing when the service stops/disappear.
2) When users buy a service, especially one that holds their data, they are more worried about the seller's long-term survival.
3) Services are easier for big and established companies to implement, and harder for smaller, new entrepreneurial ones.
4) It is difficult to change mind, leave traditional IT systems and adapt them to news trends when “we have something that works”.

• Will allow anybody to search a needed service, to check it and to use it. Also we will create new ones by combining
exiting ones and having a custom functionality easily

To organize a Company’s IT infrastructure and guiding it towards SOA can be a complex process Web Services
can be used in a scalable way, first we can improve our current systems using Web Services to give solutions to new business processes needs and gradually “evangelize” people to use them.
