CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Pyramid Research's Networks Practice Director, Richard Dean (http://www.pyramidresearch.com/ip_anpr_dean.htm), will be presenting a Webinar titled Worldwide Network Solutions Market Analysis - The Catalyst for Business Model Transformation and the 2020 Vision (http://w.on24.com/r.htm?e=119441&s=1&k=9A47910E7C6A41DC1D1592D42E04C00F&partn erref=WB080924_NPR) on September 30, at 11 a.m. EDT.

"This Webinar will examine the rapidly changing worldwide market for network consulting, network implementation, network product support, and managed network services," said Richard Dean. "We will also analyze the associated total expenditures -- not just external spending -- from the first half of 2008 and look at drivers and inhibitors for network services growth through 2013, for both the service provider and enterprise demand segments."

In addition, this presentation will discuss the network technology, geo-political, macro-economic, customer-demand, and competitive industry factors that continue to shape and influence the global marketplace for end-to-end network solutions. Finally, the Webinar will offer an early glimpse of how some network operators are developing a forward-looking corporate vision that intersects with the year 2020, and how network solution providers (NSPs) can support this vision.

This Webinar immediately precedes the publication of the network services industry's most comprehensive market research report, "How Services Are Transforming the Network Ecosystem: Global Market Analysis and Forecast, 2008-2013," (http://www.pyramidresearch.com/downloads.htm?id=1&sc=WB080924_NPR) in which Mr. Dean provides in-depth market analysis and insights for global network services expenditures. It examines the total addressable market - not simply external spending - and segments the data by four global regions and 24 "impact" countries.
