Headed by Lars Boman, the company will develop Service Networks and application solutions. In order to further strengthen Ericsson's world leading position as communications services and solutions supplier, all Services activities will be concentrated in one organization by transferring the Internet solution unit to Division Global Services.
Applications are a key factor for the growth of mobile Internet.
Systems, phones, applications and services are the cornerstones of our successful business proposition. This new set-up is another proof of our continuous improvement. As a consequence Division Internet Applications will cease to exist. In this connection, Haijo Pietersma, presently head of the division, has decided to leave Ericsson to pursue new opportunities. Ericsson's consulting company EdgeCom will continue to be managed as a separate company, emphasizing EdgeCom's position as an independent supplier of high level management consulting services to operators and service providers.
