Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced that
Gartner, Inc. has positioned Ericsson as a Leader in the Gartner
Magic Quadrants for Operations Support Systems[1] and
Integrated Revenue and Customer Management (IRCM) for
CSPs[2] for the
fourth and second consecutive years, respectively. Gartner
evaluated Ericsson based on ability to execute and completeness of
vision.
Ericsson's comprehensive, end-to-end,
pre-integrated, modular OSS software, as well as consulting,
systems integration and managed services, have driven the company's
leadership status as a premiere partner to operators around the
world. Ericsson's software and services help manage complexity and
reduce total cost of ownership with a unique mix of end-to-end
operations and network competence, and software capabilities.
Ericsson Charging and Billing in One is a
fully-integrated IRCM suite that communications service providers
use to flexibly deliver multiservice offerings. The suite includes
convergent charging, business support, and control systems and
product catalog for a streamlined approach across all customers and
services.
Per Borgklint, Senior Vice President and Head of
Ericsson's Business Unit Support Solutions, says: "We feel
Gartner's Magic Quadrant analyses validates our evolving strategy,
which includes recent acquisitions that see us continue to build
out a comprehensive product suite to meet changing demands. We
believe our leadership positioning demonstrates an ongoing
commitment to providing customers with innovative, flexible and
fully-integrated solutions that increase customer loyalty and
improve customer satisfaction. We are proud to be recognized
for our completeness of vision and ability to execute."
The OSS Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors that sell
end-to-end solutions for service assurance, fulfillment, and order
and catalog management solutions, as well as new OSS
infrastructures to support SDN/NFV and enterprise-wide customer
experience initiatives for communications service providers.
The integrated revenue and customer management
market comprises communications service providers that want to
purchase commercial off-the-shelf software packages that address
business-critical revenue and customer management processes.
Solution suites that were included in Gartner's IRCM analysis
provide billing, customer care, rating, charging, pricing, partner
relationship management, policy management, mediation,
self-service, analytics, and other related functions.
Operators must become agile as they support
services across networks, offer a range of plans and push the
limits of innovation. Ericsson helps customers meet changing
demands with a comprehensive, unified OSS and BSS product suite
that combines business, IT and network capabilities. A team of more
than 65,000 service professionals supports these offerings with
services such as consulting and systems integration, managed
services, product related services, and broadcast services.
Ericsson's market leadership is underscored by the company's
breakthrough work with customers to improve the subscriber
experience, capture new revenues and boost business efficiencies.
As a result, Ericsson remains positioned for ongoing success,
driven by the continually surging demand for data services.
