New revenue streams in the cloud computing era
To diversify and create new revenue streams many operators develop value-added applications and services to meet the needs of their customers. Cloud computing is a proven, innovative path for enterprises to meet the ever-changing demands and complex business environments, without complex business cycles, all while optimizing their capital and operational expenses - Capex and Opex. By transforming their business streams into cloud computing, telecom operators now have a vast array of opportunities to meet their customer's demands.
NEC has a long-standing reputation installing worldwide service for leading telecom operators, and our experience integrating with IT and network technologies is beyond compare. Currently NEC provides three types of cloud computing solutions:
SaaS Solution
- Provides infrastructure, development environment, and applications over the internet. SaaS solution is the most scalable, lowest cost and agile utility to satisfy enterprise needs.
Consortium Cloud Solution
- Enterprises that have the same specific requirements, such as local governments or banks, establish a consortium and share infrastructure, a development environment and applications. A consortium cloud solution enables corporations to meet the demands of industry specific requirements.
Private Cloud Solution
- Provides cloud oriented services through a standardized cloud platform on an intranet. A Private cloud solution enables enterprises to flexibly customize the platform to meet their own specific needs.
SaaS solution is the most suitable solution for a telecom operator's initial investment to create new revenue streams in the cloud computing era; it gives telecom operators a competitive advantage because of its synergy with the existing business model, customer base and network infrastructure.
One of the world's largest and most influential telecom operators, Telefonica, is transforming their business with NEC's SaaS solution. NEC contributes to the development of new cloud oriented business streams with its SaaS solution and business know-how.
