Operator Benefits

Reduce Risk

With the Ericsson Solution Integration offering operators
can achieve controlled and secure network evolution and
ensure new equipment is introduced with minimal negative
impact on other network operations.

The key is extensive testing and verification procedures,
which help mitigate the risks around bringing new solutions
into today's multivendor and multi-technology networks.

At the same time,Ericsson makes certain that new solutions work properly with business and operational support systems, such as charging, billing and mediation, helping operators prevent revenue
leakage and reduce opex.

A similar commitment to testing and verification on the terminal side,combined with accurate configuration, ensures new solutions, services and applications deliver the expected user experience from the moment they are launched, protecting the operator's reputation and brand.

Evolve the network

The end-to-end approach of the Solution Integration offering, combined with Ericsson's Solution Management service,ensures the operator environment is well prepared for future network evolution.

Ericsson's well-proven tools and mature processes and methods, developed from similar projects around the globe, provide a solid foundation for the integration work.

This is enhanced through a customized integration strategy and effective handling of relationships with multiple suppliers, cutting time to market.

And by working side-by-side with the operator's organization, Ericsson ensures efficient knowledge transfer and a smooth handover to operations personnel.

Access to Best Competence

Developing and maintaining the in-house knowledge needed to ensure end-to-end interoperability in today's multivendor, multi-technology and multi-access networks is time consuming and expensive.

With the Ericsson Solution Integration offering, operators gain the expertise and experience obtained from previous service deliveries in every type of network equipment, only when they need it, thus freeing their own resources to concentrate on core business activities.
