Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) announced that it has been recognized as part of the 2012 Fierce Innovation Awards, an operator-reviewed awards program from the publishers of FierceWireless, FierceTelecom and FierceCable.

It helps operators rapidly spot issues, diagnose root causes and prioritize responses to enable consistent service performance. As a result, operators are well positioned to build loyalty, unlock revenue, reduce the time needed to fix issues and cut customer care expenses.

"Positive subscriber experiences drive continued uptake of exciting new mobile services, which help operators drive more revenues,” said Elisabetta Romano, Head of OSS, Business Unit Support Solutions, Ericsson. “Ericsson Experience Manager gives operators greater control and insight into the consumer experience, enabling them to deliver a consistent experience, every time. We are proud to be recognized by Fierce for innovation in operations support.”

Fierce Innovation Awards winners were selected by an exclusive panel of carrier-only judges, including: Stephen Bye, CTO and VP of Technology Development and Strategy at Sprint; Mattias Fridstrom, VP and Head of Technology at TeliaSonera International; Abhi Ingle, VP of Ecosystem and Innovation at AT&T; Tom Nagel, SVP of Business Development and Strategy, for Communications and Data Services at Comcast Cable; Todd Smith, Director of Media Relations at Cox Communications; and Jim Wales, Executive Director of Networks at Verizon.
