Managed Operations
Cutting-edge suite of managed services - accelerate digital transformation and 5G monetization
Fast and reliable networks alone can't compete without also delivering outstanding customer experiences! Business performance and customer experience have become inseparable. In fact, network quality and customer experience are today's competitive differentiators, and operations can be the enabler - or the inhibitor - of 5G monetization and 5G network return on investment.
Why Managed Operations Services?
Industry needs are evolving, but legacy network operations remain siloed. That’s preventing CSPs from delivering customized network services with stringent SLAs for a range of customer segments.
The complexity is growing with the emergence of multi-cloud environments, new 5G enterprise use cases, and automation needs driven by 5G standalone networks and network slicing.
If you want to master these opportunities and challenges without having to worry about customer experience disruptions, friction in your organization and the hassle of integrating different software solutions from different vendors, take advantage of Nokia’s leadership of proactive and predictive operations in multi-vendor environments.
Nokia has been rated "Leader” multiple times by GlobalData.
GlobalData ranks Nokia Managed Services as industry leader for fourth consecutive time

- Automating workload allocation across distributed and hybrid clouds

Nokia has three managed service offerings designed to address these issues. Each service type consists of a modular catalog of operations services with laser focus on tangible business outcomes.
Operations & Maintenance
To maximize network performance
Keep your network running with the best possible performance, availability and security, at predictable costs. Implementing technologies like 5G is one thing, operating them in a multi-technology, multi-vendor environment is another. We bring the latest expertise and tools from our Global Delivery Centers to avoid any friction when network technology changes.
Operations Transformation
For automated network operations in the cloud
Transform your operating model based on our structured programs to lift productivity and operational agility through automation. Overcome siloed, non-digital operating models with phased micro-programs and clear deliverables mapped to your objectives. Deliverables include data refinery and sequenced automation implementation and continuous improvement.
Operations Intelligence
To drive improved customer experiences
Use our AI-driven services to gain a competitive edge in customer experience and network performance, and to offer new, high-quality services including 5G network slicing. Our modular operations intelligence services can be injected into existing operations environments to solve specific issues. Use cases ranges from coverage and capacity optimization to predictive analysis of anomalies in complex network settings to prevent degradation of the customer experience.
