Introduction

Service Delivery Automation (SDA) has the potential to offer high value in terms of inorganic reduction in costs and quick implementation. Moreover, this value is realizable at low risk as the system is largely non-invasive and easily remediable. As a consequence, all market participants, whether they are enterprises or business process services providers, are looking to enter this arena. However, SDA is a burgeoning market with technologies that are still relatively unknown to many potential buyers in terms of solution features, deployment models, supporting frameworks, and commercial aspects.
