Systems Integrators and Consultancies providing services to the telecoms market are increasingly looking to cement their position as a key strategic ally to operator clients.
Systems integrators in particular are pushing large outsourcing deals to take over and run the complete scope of an operator’s IT environment. Consultancies are increasingly being engaged earlier in the process to assist operators in major strategic planning in the technical and commercial areas and to help clients decide the best course of action for a major systems overhaul or outsourcing process.
Movements in the market mean that systems integrators are buying up smaller vendors of telecoms products to create one-stop solutions for operator clients, as well as attempting to move further into the network operations and network management space. Their traditional market in the implementation and integration of OSS, BSS and other IT products has become increasingly cramped as OSS/BSS and software vendors look to extend their revenue streams and offer implementation services as well as with competition from Asia. The traditional gap between consultancies and systems integrators has also narrowed as systems integrators attempt to move up the value chain and develop specialist strategy consulting divisions.
RP International has been working with both systems integrators and consultancies since we were established in 1998 supporting organic growth but also projects with operator clients. This provides us with an unrivalled network of specialist talent and the ability to locate resources within competitor organisations.

Interim: We are able to provide interim C-Level experts for termed engagements on major bids, client interactions or delivery of programs or, alternatively, via consultancies into end-clients.
Contingent: We are able to efficiently utilise our network to recruit telecoms specialist consultants and MBA graduates for consultancies as well as sales and delivery professionals at a director and management level for systems integrators.
