Espoo, Finland Sept. 22, 2008 -- Nokia
Siemens Networks aims to expand its customer base in the
service
management software business by collaborating with KlugCom, P3
Solutions, Subex and Theta Networks. The new channel partners give
Nokia Siemens Networks access to new markets and technology allowing
more communications service providers to use the company’s leading
Operations Support Systems (OSS) and service management software to
improve their customer’s service experience.
“It’s a win-win
situation for all parties,” said Juhani Hintikka, Head of Operations
and Business Software Business Unit at Nokia Siemens Networks. “In the
complex software market, collaborating with other software specialists
helps us to address service providers regardless of their network
vendor or technology. These new channel partners are focused on
delivering service management software that improves the end-users
customer experience, which we know can have a big impact on reducing
customer ‘churn’.”
The indirect sales channel business model
ensures that the required sales resources and competences are available
to enable growth in new markets through the new channel partners. These
indirect channel partners fall under the umbrella of the Nokia Siemens
Networks Channel Partner Program, launched in May 2008.
The new
solutions and market reach resulting from working with these channel
partners enhances the already comprehensive OSS capability within Nokia
Siemens Networks. The company has more than 600 network management
customers and more than 360 service management installations.
KlugCom will
provide Nokia Siemens Networks OSS capability in Latin America, where
it is a leading professional services organization offering
best-in-class products and services to develop solutions that build
real value for telecommunications customers.
P3 Solutions
and Nokia Siemens Networks are jointly developing software to enhance
customer quality-of-experience, which will significantly improve on
what is currently available. The software will be sold by both
companies.

put together service management solutions that consist of Nokia Siemens
Networks leading inventory management, service assurance and service
fulfillment software and Subex fixed and mobile provisioning, service
fulfillment, data integrity management, revenue assurance, fraud
