Nokia rated leader in managed services by industry analyst firm GlobalData

In its annual assessment of managed services providers, GlobalData has ranked Nokia “Leader” for the second consecutive year, based on the company’s scale and reach, expertise, network design and optimization skills, service agility and commercial model.

The report highlights Nokia’s strong network planning and deployment capabilities required for 5G’s network densification, new spectrum bands, and stricter performance parameters.

The report uniquely positions Nokia as leader in service agility, the ability to help its customers bringing more services to market, more rapidly. Through its extensive portfolio, Nokia enables broader service ecosystems that allows carriers to offer for example managed IoT and security solutions with faster time to market and lower risks and costs.

GlobalData’s rating also reflects Nokia’s continuous innovation in managed services that accelerate digital transformation, managed security, cloud and cognitive operations powered by Nokia AVA.
