The increase in mobile broadband users in Poland over the last few years
has
challenged network operators to continuously launch new offerings and
services
to meet demands of subscribers. Consequently it has also required matching
operational and business processes with the business and technology shifts.
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and T-Mobile have signed a three-year contract for
application development and maintenance for its billing system in Poland.
The
service will provide T-Mobile with solutions to match their changing
business,
technology and operational demands, and also ensure solution life-cycle
management.
T-Mobile, Poland has previously selected the Ericsson BSCS iX, a billing
system
that is now complemented with a service to cost-efficiently develop and
maintain
the associated business-critical applications.
Anders Runevad, Head of Region Western & Central Europe, Ericsson says:
“Through
PTC, Ericsson has partnered with T-Mobile for last 18 years in Poland and
we are
pleased to join forces in the Business Support Systems-domain as well.
T-Mobile-s billing system is at the heart of its relationships with its
subscribers and through our capabilities in services and software we will
now
handle the day-to-day maintenance and development of the system and
applications.”
Globally Ericsson employs over 12,000 consulting and systems integration
professionals who are experts in software development and various specific
domains, such as BSS. In addition, Ericsson is the global leader in
Business
Support Systems (BSS) with more than 1,000 billing and revenue management
