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.
