Telecom equipment vendor Huawei on Wednesday said it will increase investment in professional services.
Based on Huawei SoftCOM strategy, the main focus areas for investment will be: consulting and systems integration, open digital operations, building of open cooperative ecosystems, traditional BSS / OSS to Telco OS evolution, and big data and user experience management.
Leroy G Blimegger Jr., senior vice president of Huawei Global Technical Services and Global president of Assurance & Managed Services (AMS), Huawei, said: “In the near future the telecom network will become IT-centric, services will be digitalized and cloud based, and systems integration capabilities will become even more critical to help operators realize IT transformation.”
He was speaking at the first Global Professional Services Forum.
The increase in investment is spread over three years. It began with the development of two open labs earlier this year; one focusing on NFV – Network Functions Virtualization – in Xi’an, China, and the second one for Service Provider Operations in Ireland, Western Europe.
This increased investment will also fund the development of a system integration center in North America, the launch of a Telco OS platform integrating OSS and BSS in 2015, and the upgrade of a CT-based Network Operations Center to a full ICT-based Application Operations Center, which will fully support the transformation of CT networks and open digital operations for ICT.
