Company profile

Every day a quarter of the worlds population connect using Nokia Siemens Networks infrastructure and solutions. This is a significant part of the resource that, by 2015, will connect five billion people and many more devices and applications.

As a result, we really understand the challenges facing you today. We know you need something different to put you ahead of the curve not just more of the same. Our team of more than 60,000 dedicated professionals in more than 150 countries stands ready to help you transform your network, operations and ultimately, your business, to deliver better, more unique experiences for your customers. Mission and Vision The road ahead Until now, development in our industry has mainly been a matter of delivering connections more, faster, cheaper, and more efficient. This is still important. The connectivity explosion continues, and by 2015 we know that 5 billion people and further billions of devices will be connected. So, we must continue applying our expertise in order to deliver on the reality of hundred-fold increases in traffic. Towards an ecosystem of partners Today, however, we are also focusing like never before on delivering quality quality experience. We can see that a more open, collaborative and customer-centric way of working could bring so much more value to billions of individuals, and to millions of businesses. We at Nokia Siemens Networks must drive that change by leaving the closed and proprietary mindset behind, and leading the way in a new spirit of openness and collaboration. Our customers challenges Our customers, Communications Service Providers (CSPs), face challenges on all fronts: the need to increase efficiency keeps pressure on capital and operational costs; the dramatic rise in traffic due to the proliferation of internet applications demands new business models for monetization; and an ever fiercer competitive climate is challenging CSPs to prove they can retain the customers they have and win back any they might have lost. Nokia Siemens Networks will play a vital role in helping CSPs meet these challenges. This role is our mission its about building value.

Our mission

by improving efficiency and experience We have built value by addressing efficiency, and we continue to do that. But we also need to address the customers need for a better experience, because its experience that builds relationships, and relationships that build value. Our vision

We believe that CSPs can ultimately enable and deliver a segment of one where they can define and enhance the service experience for each and every individual. Customers whose communications experience fits and works for them dont change operators. And operators who can devote themselves to enriching the customers experience build stronger, more lasting and profitable customer relationships. The individual communications experience is the greatest value a communications service provider can deliver to their customer, and so its the greatest value we can support communications service providers in delivering. The road ahead

The future of service is largely network-based. Internet applications hosted in the cloud (email, social networking sites, corporate service and communication tools, etc.), already account for a large proportion of the services people access every day. Every day, therefore, quality of network experience has more and more to do with quality of life. Ultimately every service is delivered to an individual. And those individuals will benefit from the services being delivered in a way that fits their personal needs and desires. This experience cannot be the privilege of the few. It must be as true for customers in emerging countries with just a dollar to spend, as for businesses in developed countries with greater resources, and for the trillions of devices that make up the Internet of Things. Our vision acknowledges that communications service providers need to manage this complexity wisely, ensuring the necessary security and authentication for users, while having the ability to profitably deliver a customized experience, based on a persons locations, context, device, usage patterns and preferences. Our vision guides our mission, and our mission is to build more valuable customer relationships. The individual communications experience builds more valuable customer relationships.
