Sourcing excellence

Ericsson provides high-performing solutions to enable its customers to capture the full value of connectivity. The Company supplies communication infrastructure, services and software to the telecom industry and other sectors. Our portfolio is designed to help our customers digitalize and to increase efficiency in an intelligent and sustainable way, while finding new revenue streams.

Setting the standard

As we work toward our corporate vision of the networked society the range of industries we can address with new solutions and services is increasing. This requires an agile and flexible sourcing capability that can evolve to meet new challenges, whilst at the same time ensuring the highest quality and integrity of the supply chain. It also requires the ability to engage with strategic partners that can complement and add value to our portfolio.

The ambition is for Ericsson Sourcing to become a World Class Sourcing organization. To help achieve this position, three building blocks of strategic sourcing are constantly being developed: category management, supplier relationship management, and demand management.
