Telecom Lead Europe: Ericsson has been ranked
second in Operation and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) and next generation
Service Delivery Platforms.
Gartner, in its latest report, said Ericsson has been ranked
#2 worldwide on Telecom Operations Management Systems (BSS, OSS and SDP) 2011 based
on revenue.
Gartner ranks Ericsson #2 in this growing market and states
that had Ericsson’s numbers included the performance of recently acquired
Telcordia’s solutions and services – the company would have topped the
worldwide chart in 2011.
“With the increased need for operators to rapidly
respond to changing consumer demands and the need for increased efficiency and
innovation, Operations and Business Support Systems are a key element of any
operator’s network strategy. We already have a leading position in key areas
such as charging and billing, where we serve 1.7 billion people with our
solutions,” said Per Borgklint, head of Ericsson’s Support Solutions
business.
Through the acquisition
of Telcordia, completed on January 12, Ericsson has strengthened its
position in service fulfillment, assurance and network optimization.
Through Ericsson’s consulting and systems integration
engagements, Ericsson offers end-to-end solutions to service providers that
cover business processes, competences and technologies in OSS, BSS, and
next-generation Service Delivery Platforms. This enables business innovation,
improved customer experience, and operational efficiency.
In total in 2011, Ericsson signed 33 new significant
contracts for OSS, BSS, SDP and Data Center build, out of which 26 were for OSS
and BSS.
