Top ranking driven by global demand for Ericssons market-leading software portfolio that is supported by strong consulting and systems integration capabilities

Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced that it has been named the worldwide overall telecoms software revenue leader by Analysys Mason. The Telecoms Software: Worldwide Market Shares 2013 report was published in August and also ranks Ericsson first in worldwide market share across 18 key segments, including service fulfillment, service delivery platforms, and network management systems. Ericssons rankings reinforce the companys leading position in the expanding telecom software market.

Analysys Mason recognized Ericsson as first in market share by revenue worldwide in 18 segments, including:

Telecoms software worldwide as well as in North America, Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa;

telecoms software for mobile services;

telecoms software product revenue;

service delivery platforms overall, by product revenue and by product-related services revenue;

policy management;

network management systems overall as well as in North America and Europe, Middle East and Africa;

network management systems by product revenue, by product-related services revenue, and for mobile services;

mobile and PSTN hardware managed by network management systems;

service fulfillment overall and by product revenue;

inventory management; revenue management by product revenue;

prepaid billing; and

mediation.

Mark Mortensen, BSS Practice Head, Analysys Mason, says: Ericsson increased its leading market share position in 2013 for its OSS/BSS solution sets and expand its contracts with tier one and two service provider customers. Ericsson continues to be the only supplier having nearly all of the software and services needed for operations. This position has been further enhanced by its recent acquisitions like Microsoft Mediaroom, Apcera, Guardtime, MetraTech, Azuki Systems and Red Bee Media.

The Analysys Mason report tracks commercially-provided licensed software, licensed software support services, and product-related services that help telecoms service providers run their business. This software provides essential capabilities such as billing, customer care, service assurance, service fulfillment, network and element management systems, and service delivery platforms. In addition Ericsson launched its new software model 15A in last September that includes predefined software value packages ensuring better performance and a software subscription component reducing time to market for new functionality.

Per Borgklint, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Support Solutions, says: Ericssons continued top software rankings affirms our global strategy and continued focus on solutions that help our customers become agile as they boost revenues through cost-effective introduction of new technologies and services. New end-to-end customer experience management, cloud, service delivery and M2M solutions reflect our commitment to invest in areas that empower our customers to be agile in increasingly competitive markets that are filled with opportunity.
