Research

Consumer services in the TMT sectors are characterised by dynamic change, rapid innovation and fervent competitiveness. Strategies, issues and trends continually evolve. Garnering external advice about the latest developments is no longer just desirable for TMT companies – it's an essential component of business strategy.

Consumers are better informed and have recourse to more products and services than ever before. Moreover, consumer behaviour is continually evolving as new products hit the market, and the digital generation is now composed of very active consumers.

Our consumer services programmes offer pertinent consumer data, reports on market trends and active advice on how to maximise opportunities in an evolving marketplace.

   

Issues and developments around networks and spectrum are of vital strategic importance to operators, vendors, regulators and investment firms.

Approaches with regards to such technologies as Wi-Fi, fibre, LTE and HSPA+ must be continually assessed as the demand for data grows.

Analysys Mason's Network Technologies practice dives deep into the trends, opportunities and threats with regard to every aspect of networks. As well as raw data sets and interpretative analysis and insights, companies can benefit from direct access to our principal networks analysts, who each have at least several decades of experience on the subject.

   

Along with the wide range of multi-market trends and topics within TMT, there is a unique range of issues and characteristics for each specific regional market. The TMT landscape in Europe, for example, is completely different from that in the Middle East and Africa, which again is very different from Asia-Pacific.

Our range of regional market programmes delve into the unique challenges and opportunities of specific geographical regions around the world. The research is headed by experienced consultants who live in the regions in which they are researching, across the network of 12 Analysys Mason offices worldwide.

   

This research practice covers trends, traits and opportunities for compelling business offerings in the converged ICT world. This area of our research business is growing fast, as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a number of unique TMT product and service challenges.

Technological developments such as cloud and machine-to-machine (M2M) services are hugely hot topics for enterprises. This research practise is led by Steve Hilton, who has more than 20 years of experience in business-to-business TMT issues.

   

In Telecoms Software research we evaluate the way communications service providers (CSPs)/network operators use software to enable services and support their operations.

We are uniquely focused on the telecoms, media and technology (TMT) industry, with the largest and most experienced team in telecoms software research.

We evaluate methods in telecoms software and the factors that are driving change. These evaluations are delivered in ten programmes that:  

• evaluate strategic drivers
• evaluate specific application areas 
• pull together aggregate numeric measures.

Every programme combines analysis of CSPs' business factors along with numeric measures.

Our programmes help CSPs, suppliers and investors understand how changing factors in the telecoms software industry create challenges and opportunities from their perspective.

We also provide customised research that helps CSPs with targeted strategy evaluations, helps vendors evaluate and profit from market opportunities, and helps investors evaluate investment values.
