Slovak Telekom and Ericsson sign five-year fixed line managed-services contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* First managed-services contract for Ericsson in the Slovak Republic
* Five-year contract to manage field maintenance and network operations for
fixed line network of Slovak Telekom
Slovak Telekom, Slovakia's largest multimedia operator, a member of the
multinational Deutsche Telekom Group, has assigned Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to
provide managed services delivering fixed network operations center support as
well as field operations and maintenance. As a result of this fixed-line
managed-services contract - the first for Ericsson in the Slovak Republic - 100
Slovak Telekom employees will be transferred to Ericsson effective October 1,
boosting Ericsson's existing managed-services experience with valuable
competence.
Ruediger J. Schulz, Chief Operating Officer Network and IT, Slovak Telekom,
says: "Through our employees in Slovakia joining Ericsson's global group of
50,000 service professionals working in 180 countries, we as a company will gain
valuable competences and capabilities to develop our business and deliver a
superior experience for our customers. We see this contract as the next step in
the long-term partnership between Slovak Telekom and Ericsson"
Marian Bezak, president of Ericsson in Slovakia, says: "The managed-services
business is one of the fastest-growing segments of the market because operators
realize the benefit of fully concentrating on their customer sales and marketing
activities, rather than on running the technology. This contract enables us to
grow our business in Slovakia by acquiring the skills and expertise of Slovak
Telekom's staff."
Ericsson is currently providing support for networks with more than 2 billion
subscribers and managing networks that together serve over 800 million
subscribers worldwide. Over the years, Ericsson has invested USD 1 billion in
tools, methods and processes enabling customers to keep costs in line while
providing the best experience possible for employees and users.
Ericsson will operate Slovak Telekom's legacy network, run field operations from
locations throughout Slovakia and provide reactive and proactive network
maintenance
