Ericsson is one of the few companies with the existing capability and end-to-end approach required to perform and coordinate activities such as service fulfilment, solution deployment, end-to-end integration and business process integration, taking a prime integrator role in both large and small-scale projects. This is thanks to the company's technology leadership, long-term experience of business and technology consulting, network deployment and expertise in systems integration for operators globally.

For many operators and service providers worldwide, Ericsson is already a trusted business partner capable of performing and coordinating a broad range of activity. Focused business and technology consulting is required in order to realistically assess the scope of any project, taking an overview of operators' overall business strategies, focusing resources and effectively establishing operator requirements before delivery.

Effective program management ensures a structured approach and predictable lead-times for operators. Ericsson also uses partner management experience to orchestrate multiple relationships with operators' key suppliers. These features, combined with mitigation of risk through multi-vendor verification and multi-vendor support ensure reliable end-to-end solutions for operators, regardless of the complexity of their challenge.

Employing global best practice ensures the efficient sharing of Ericsson's knowledge advantage via experts involved in projects around the world. The re-use of successful solutions and experience guarantees a dynamic approach to major change projects.
