Let's Talk

Welcome to this issue of Let’s Talk, focusing on OSS/BSS – an important driver and critical enabler of the Networked Society.

After Ericsson’s recent acquisition of Telcordia we are in a leading position to support operators keen to embrace opportunities arising from the Networked Society. The acquisition has strengthened our OSS/BSS offering, our consulting and systems integration skills in revenue management, service fulfillment, service assurance as well as planning and engineering. With this new comprehensive OSS/BSS portfolio, it shows from Gartner’s report in May 2012 that we are #1 in terms of market share 2011, when consolidating Ericsson and Telcordia.

I’ll also share our insights on customer experience, some interesting findings from recent Consumer Labs reports and Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg’s thoughts on the role of OSS/BSS in our industry’s future.

Join the discussion as we explore the opportunities and enablers for business innovation, improved customer experience, and operational efficiency.
