Ericsson Composition Engine

Executive summary

Value Added Services will continue to be a main source of revenue for operators, consumer and enterprise offerings alike. End users expect the Value Added Services they currently use to be maintained and, more importantly, to be enhanced with new functionality and integrated with todays' mobile devices, allowing them to continue and improve on their own business and daily lives.

At the same time competitiveness within the Telco domain intensifies and the need to innovate and differentiate with new Value Added Services offerings in a cost efficient and short time-to-market manner is vital. Many operators have already started to work with new business partners monetizing their network and business assets strengthening their market position and expanding their business.

Ericsson can help operators accomplish these goals with the Ericsson Composition Engine.

User experience

Consumers want to experience telecom services integrated with the ergonomics of today’s mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). A highly integrated- and therefore easy to use and discover - service will be used much more over its lifetime compared to telecom services that are incompatible or hard to use.

Additionally do consumers value a wide range of communication options so they can chose the one that fits best with their preferences and needs at any point in time now and in the future.

Privacy and identity protection is on everyones agenda and consumers prefer to trust their local service provider over a global company which might store their private data outside of their country of residence.

By using the Ericsson Composition Engine, operators can deploy Value Added Services that can interact and can be tightly integrated with highly ergonomic mobile devices. At the same time, the Composition Engine enables exposure of network, business assets or its policy engine so the operator can address the long tail of their application business, greatly expanding end-users choice and satisfying their privacy concerns.
