Gartner has ranked Ericsson second in the areas of operation and business support systems (OSS/BSS) and next generation service delivery platforms.
A new report published by Gartner states that had Ericsson?s numbers included the performance of recently acquired Telcordia?s solutions and services, the company would have topped the worldwide chart in 2011.
Through the acquisition of Telcordia, Gartner says that Ericsson has also strengthened its position in service fulfillment, assurance and network optimisation, as well as significant capabilities to support operators? end-to-end.
In total in 2011, Ericsson signed 33 new significant contracts for OSS, BSS, SDP and data center build, out of which 26 were for OSS and BSS.
