Nokia announces
entry into Software-as-a-Service
for CSPs with
multiple
services
- Nokia introduces its
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for communication service providers
(CSPs) approach to strengthen business outcomes for CSPs through a
highly flexible, fully automated, lower cost software model
- Nokia SaaS for CSP model enables
faster “time to value” for network services
- Nokia to have multiple SaaS for CSP
services in the areas of analytics, security, and data management
commercially available in early 2022
17 November 2021
Espoo,
Finland
– Nokia today
announced it is
introducing multiple
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
services for
communication service providers
(CSPs), in an
important first step to giving
operators a less expensive, more
flexible, and more customer-centric
pathway for operating their network
and delivering new
services.
Offering SaaS for CSPs is a natural evolution of
Everything-as-a-Service, a key element to Nokia’s overall strategy.
It reflects a culmination of steps Nokia has taken in recent years
to enhance CSP network operations, including rearchitecting its
software applications to make them fully cloud-native and
deployable in any cloud environment, edge, public or private.
To seize the 5G opportunity, CSPs need to shift away from the
legacy practice of deploying customized software for analytics,
security, network management, and other functions, that run on
costly, complex, on-premise infrastructure.
To drive that shift, Nokia’s approach to SaaS for CSPs is about
improving value and reducing complexity by providing innovative
software consumed purely on demand through a subscription,
eliminating large up front capital expenditure; by avoiding the
need to perform on-site software maintenance and updates; and by
accelerating CSPs’ ability to launch new services faster and
achieve “time to value” quicker.
As part of the line-up of SaaS services, Nokia Data Marketplace
(NDM) is now commercially available through a SaaS framework to
give CSPs an easy and secure way to share and access data. NDM was
launched “as a service” earlier this year. The new SaaS version of
NDM offers enhanced automation, efficiency and scalability to CSPs
and enterprises in a variety of industry verticals, including
energy, public sector, transportation, and smart cities.
For the 2021-2025 period, Nokia is targeting a SaaS addressable
market, comprised of CSPs and enterprises, with a value
of $3.1 billion and an annual growth rate of
approximately 25-30%. Nokia is in discussions with several
CSPs around the world about using its SaaS services, including
security.
With 5G opening up many new cyber security risks due to more
access points in networks, CSPs require automated security that
greatly shrinks threat dwell time (the time it takes to remove a
cyber attacker once detected); reduces manual tasks; and shortens
response time in order to keep 5G consumer and enterprise services
safe. In addition to delivering those benefits, Nokia’s new
SaaS-based NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome, to be commercially
available in early 2022, enables CSPs to assure 5G networks and
monetize security tied with services like 5G slicing.
Nokia Anomaly Detection, a machine learning service aimed at
finding and remediating network anomalies before they affect
network customers, is another product to be offered through a SaaS
model. Based on Nokia Bell Labs technology, Nokia Anomaly Detection
helps CSPs improve operational efficiency and will also be
commercially available in early 2022.
As it introduces SaaS services in a simplified delivery model,
Nokia expects to combine these independent services into three
high-value SaaS “suites” focused on Digital Engagement,
Marketplaces and Networking, each composed of integrated SaaS
services. Some SaaS services within these suites, such as security,
will provide value across suite domains.
Nokia has other SaaS for CSP services that will be announced in
early 2022.
Caroline Chappell, Research Director
at Analysys Mason,
said: “SaaS is the software consumption
model of the future. It is nascent in the telco market today but
our research shows that leading operators understand its benefits
and are waiting for vendors to respond. It is good to see a
mainstream vendor like Nokia making an early move into SaaS-based
delivery. This will position Nokia well to serve operators that
need to accelerate the adoption of new cloud-based technologies at
scale, such as 5G, IoT, edge computing and AI. CSPs must transform
themselves to capitalize on these technologies, and the switch to
SaaS delivery models is a critical component of their digital
transformation strategies.”
Raghav Sahgal,
President of Cloud and Network Services
at Nokia,
said: “The convergence of
5G, cloud native software and SaaS creates a great and
fast-growing opportunity for Nokia. With the groundwork we’ve
already been laying, our SaaS delivery framework is in a very
strong competitive position. It enables a combination of rapid time
to value with on-demand access for Nokia SaaS applications and low
cost of ownership, based on a pay-as-you-go / pay-as-you-grow
commercial model. This is a multi-year journey and we are going at
it aggressively.”
