The Huawei Telco OS Partner Program is a communications
industry-specific partner program designed to establish partner
relationships which accelerate the digital transformation of
Communication Service Providers (CSPs) across their Business Support
Systems (BSS), Operations Support System (OSS) and Big Data functional
domains. The program was initially focused on Delivery Service Vendors
(DSV) to augment project delivery, and Solution (ISV) partners to
augment the productized solutions being delivered. To date over 1,000
engineers have been certified under the program, working across 57
different projects, in 39 countries around the world, leveraging over 30
ISV products.
Building from the initial focus, the program is now being expanded to
include Service partners to accelerate the delivery of joint solutions
based on Huawei Telco OS products and partner consulting, systems
integration and application management services.
“Huawei is focused to apply its deep understanding of the telecom
industry to deliver innovative software products which have the
potential to transform the business performance of our customers. We are
now expanding further our partner ecosystem to include Service partners
where together we can accelerate the capture of project benefits,
reducing transformation risk and optimize cost to transform for our
customers,” said Ken Kang, President of BES Product Line, Huawei
Software.
The Alliance Memorandum of Understanding between Huawei and Infosys,
that follows the expansion of this program, brings together Huawei’s
industry leading BSS products and Infosys’ strength in Consulting,
Systems Integration and Application Development and Maintenance (ADM)
services. As part of the agreement, the parties will explore joint
solution innovation and labs, and promote joint solutions to customers
and business partners.
“This alliance leverages Huawei’s product innovation and Infosys’
services innovation to create unique and compelling joint solutions
which can help renew and create value for the communications services
industry. It further gives Infosys a unique advantage and value
proposition to be able to help advise our clients on the Huawei product
suite,” said Avi Kulshrestha, Industry Head of Communications Media,
Entertainment & Global OEM Business, Infosys Ltd.
Ken Kang, President of BES Product Line, Huawei Software said,
“Infosys offers communications industry insight, comprehensive
services and skilled practitioners. Combined with Huawei BSS products we
