We believe that by focusing on collaboration with service providers we can build software-powered service networks that will create new applications," he said.
Microsoft's primary offering in this space will be its Connected Services Framework, an integrated software product designed for building and managing complex services using a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web service interfaces. Connected Services Framework will allow telecommunications operators to aggregate, provision and manage converged communications services for their subscribers, regardless of network or device, according to O'Hara.
