The agreement is part of efforts by the telecom to maximize its network and IT operations with the aim to further improve customer experience and the quality of service. It will also be an extension to Ericsson’s managed services leadership and footprint across Africa.
The collaboration is part of Ericsson’s strategy to partner with network operators for managed services geared towards improved customer experience.
