Jurgen Wittkopp from PA Consulting Group, the leading international management, systems and technology consultancy, will provide insight on how developers and providers of mobile data solutions can contain costs in a talk at IBC's Mobile Service Delivery Platforms conference in London on 10 April 2003, (11.20am).
Jurgen, who heads PA's Value Added Services group in Wireless Technology at the company's Cambridge Technology Centre in the UK, will explain how the industry's huge investment in mobile data services can be optimised through careful evaluation and deployment of a selected set of technical components. He draws on over 13 years' experience managing wireless projects for suppliers, operators, regulators and investors covering GSM, UMTS and the consumer electronics industry.
In particular, the paper will consider the rationalisation of service delivery infrastructure and its impact on true end-to-end implementation issues. Many players fail to make mobile data services work profitably and PA will point out ways to streamline infrastructures, which have evolved over time, whilst still maintaining the vital revenue streams.
It will be of interest to Product Managers, Service Architects and Financial Controllers who are facing the challenges of maximising value-for-money from their mobile data applications against tightening development budgets.
