| As an operator, market and shareholder pressures are driving you to reconsider your business model in order to accommodate two competing requirements: the need to invest to protect and enhance your market position, and the never-ending pressure to reduce costs. To resolve this paradox, a growing number of operators are turning to outsourcing because it allows them to become more proactive to the dynamics of the market.
Outsourcing is the full externalization of any (or all) network-facing functions in an operator's organization. In other words, functions previously performed by the operator become the responsibility of a service partner such as Alcatel.
Alcatel's outsourcing offer covers the following activities within the Alcatel Services portfolio:
- Network design
- Network integration and deployment
- Network operations and maintenance
In an outsourcing partnership, Alcatel can take over the associated workforce and, if appropriate, the associated operational assets.
By leveraging our worldwide operational experience, an Alcatel outsourcing solution can deliver a number of benefits:
- Reduced costs, through the synergies that Alcatel can create with other businesses
- A fresh view of existing operations leading to improved efficiency
- Better market focus for the operator, leaving the technology management to a network specialist
- Better time-to-market for new technology-based products through the ready availability of experienced resources
Alcatel is the leader in the outsourcing of multi-vendor networks, managing over 20 million subscribers and lines for operators around the world. Our experience covers:
- Fixed and mobile operators
- All functions: design, deploy, operate and maintain
- Equipment from all major technology vendors
