NEC lanserar SaaS-plattform för globala operatörer

 

NEC Corporation announced today the international sales launch of its Software as a Service (SaaS) solution platform. The platform is geared for telecom operators that are seeking to provide a variety of services via a single portal to meet the IT needs of enterprise customers.

NEC’s SaaS solution platform has a wide array of valuable functions, which include a single sign-on interface, authentication, user management, ID management and application management for telecom operators. In addition to its broad variety of SaaS functions, NEC also offers comprehensive business support for telecom operators who are initiating SaaS solutions, as well as a user portal, End-to-End solutions and integration with OSS/BSS. Moreover, NEC’s experience and know-how from deploying services in Japan and Australia, allow the company to offer consultation services that focus on helping telecom operators to accelerate their service delivery and monetize their investments.

As technical innovation and market expansion have rapidly advanced, network and investment costs have become a major challenge for international telecom operators. NEC’s existing SaaS solutions in Australia help to alleviate business pressures by allowing trial use of its infrastructure for international telecom operators that are interested in implementing SaaS services of their own. This trial use of SaaS solutions facilitates cost reduction and enables telecom operators to quickly and effectively launch service.

Please see below for additional benefits provided by NEC’s SaaS solution platform.

• Diverse applications that cater to a wide variety of user needs

In addition to NEC’s existing partnerships with leading SaaS developers, NEC also supports telecom operators’ partnerships with application vendors in order to expand service choices and satisfy customer needs. Telecom operators can also improve services by aggregating a variety of applications on a common SaaS solution platform, then capitalize on specific application features to provide complementary services via a single convenient portal. For example, customer information from a CRM application may be combined with VoIP services in order to quickly and effectively place calls.

• Synergies enhance telecom operator services

SaaS solution platform enhancements are expected to be realized through NEC network software products, including Device Management and OSS solutions, which work together to strengthen value added services for telecom operators. The SaaS solution platform provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that works with existing telecommunication equipment, and facilitates integration across network software products.

• Experience accelerates SaaS business

Telecom operator business is firmly supported by NEC’s experience and know-how in providing SaaS platform technologies. Based on such experience and know-how, NEC services include system integration, consultation, localization, training and maintenance. NEC enables telecom operators to accelerate their service delivery and monetize their investments.
