The embedded market is currently experiencing a number of disruptive forces. It is moving into a world of connectivity and inter connectivity, where the information and the data produced by embedded systems are essential. In parallel, and as a result of the consumerization of the industry, user expectations are increasing in terms of ergonomics, user experience and performance. This complexity significantly impacts the way embedded systems and connected devices are designed and developed, and moves the primary success factor from a main dependency on technical expertise to the optimization of the system integration. This implies the need of a strong know how about architecture design, hardware and software compatibility, interaction testing, IP integration, and a deep multi OS and multi technologies expertise. This creates the need for a new kind a player, the system software integrator.

The document discusses a three screen strategy for service providers to integrate mobile, computer, and TV screens. Key factors driving this strategy are the modern consumer who demands personalization and the growth of digital content delivery across multiple devices. A three screen service provides opportunities for new business models in advertising as marketing messages can be delivered across preferred devices. While service providers are well positioned with customer insights, challenges include DRM, time to market, interoperability and competing with other companies. The document recommends service providers leverage customer profiles for new business models and position themselves as a one-stop channel for reaching consumers across multiple screens.
