Operators are looking for new ways to do business and keep spending under control while launching a wider range of services. Outsourcing non-core business to Ericsson lets them do just that. Among the major market drivers for Managed Services are the opportunities to improve cost structures, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and addressing opex AND capex.

Operators achieve savings of typically 20 percent in the cost of operations when Ericsson takes care of their day-to-day operations. Ericsson achieves this improved operational efficiency through a combination of economies of scale, resource utilization and best-practice processes.

By providing end-user focus and speed in implementing new services (Managed Services hosting), Ericsson enables faster customer adoption of services and leads to great market share and increased revenue.

The benefits of a hosting solution for operators can be dramatic. Reduced time-to-market is a clear advantage, as attractive new services can be launched very quickly allowing you to strengthen your brands and challenge the competition. You can retain your existing customers and grow your subscriber base and revenues by offering services that differentiate your value proposition.

The current business environment is marked by financial pressure, fierce competition, mergers and acquisitions, deregulation and growing solution complexity. Operators are aware that services and prices, rather than networks and technology, will be their primary sources of differentiation in the future. The move to wireless data services will make supply chains more complicated.

With Ericsson as a business partner, you can differentiate yourself as a company, and provide new end-user services as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, as we take care of that side of things, you can focus on your core business: the added value that comes through the interface with the user, rather than the network itself.

With the increasing complexity of technology and the uncertain uptake of new services, many operators are looking for a business partner with whom to share the financial, operational and technology risks on a long-term basis. As such a partner, Ericsson shares a mutual business understanding and vision with you. Since all parties have common goals, everyone stands to benefit. You need to feel certain that you have a trustworthy business partner, particularly during times of change. With local resources, global expertise, and world-class methods, tools and processes, Ericsson is the preferred partner for enabling your Business growth.
