SaaS Solution

In the debate over the issues of competition and substitution, the Mass (Residential) Market often receives most of the attention due to the proliferation of content providers and the resulting threat to the Service Provider Value Chain. The Enterprise Market, frequently ignored in the debate, faces an equivalent challenge. In what is often considered the “core” business, Service Providers are facing new competition from Systems Integrators and outsourcing companies that are offering a range of value-added services to medium and large businesses.

Caught in the broader economic downturn, enterprises are moving aggressively to cut costs and become much more efficient. They are divesting non-core assets and activities. They are also looking to reduce the cost of their Network and IT infrastructure — including costs associated with using, maintaining, and upgrading software applications.

Integrators and outsourcing companies have stepped in to take over applications, including communications and connectivity requirements. Service Providers have reacted by offering their own solutions, including data centers, storage, and other managed services.

NetCracker and NEC have combined some of their most innovative capabilities to create a SaaS Solution that will enable Service Providers to compete more effectively against integrators and outsourcers in the Enterprise Market and meet the growing need of enterprises to divest the cost of buying, operating, and maintaining enterprise applications. The SaaS Solution enables a single IT applications environment where applications maintenance is outsourced to Service Providers, and users can access innovative software with higher interoperability and new services.

Using the NetCracker–NEC SaaS Solution, Service Providers can offer a high-performance, reliable IT applications environment to enterprises. NetCracker and NEC’s knowledge of IT, telecom, and the network, as well as their extensive experience with network and IT deployments and management, ensures cost-efficient and future-proof solutions for enterprises.
