You’re at the heart of everything we do

Over the past few months, it has been exciting to take part in designing a company that has operators and service providers at the heart of everything we do.

With this magazine, we aim to introduce ourselves to our customers, give you a glimpse of how we see the future – and show our commitment to building it with you.

The timing of the merger of Nokia’s networks business and the Siemens carrier business is ideal. As the Internet and mobile communications have evolved from novelty to ubiquity, they have changed our society - and our lives – forever. The fusion of mobility and the Internet will now only accelerate the pace of transformation.

By combining the finest aspects of the Nokia and Siemens heritages, we will help you exploit this opportunity with a best-in-class product and solution offering underpinned by a unique services capability. We will enable the convergence of services and networks so you can master the challenges and deliver value to a dynamic market.

Our aim is to set new standards for efficiency and innovation by marrying agility with global processes and presence. With a world-class fixed, mobile and services portfolio and global capabilities, we offer unmatched breadth in the communications industry for our more than 600 customers in all the world’s major markets.

Uniting communities

Beyond technology, the rise of virtual communities, which are driving everything from fashion to political change, is one of the most visible changes brought by the Web revolution. To serve and unite diverse communities requires a new and innovative approach to developing, launching and managing new services. Our goal at Nokia Siemens Networks is to help you engage and build these communities across new technologies, fuel your business and realize the full potential of new opportunities.

We strive to:

• Share our extensive user and technology insights to help you broaden the range of services you offer

• Offer a unique methodology to help you boost your operational efficiency

• Provide cost-effective solutions to help you win in fast growth markets

• Help you offer consumers simplicity and personalization, regardless of the underlying network

• Provide integrated solutions that improve service delivery and enable new business models for the different players in the value chain

In short, we want to be your partner in the highly demanding and extremely exciting communications arena.

With this in mind, we’re pleased to share this issue of unite, our magazine for you, our most important community.
