According to the company, the new channel partners give Nokia Siemens Networks access to new markets and technology allowing more communications service providers to use the company’s Operations Support Systems (OSS) and service management software to improve their customer’s service experience.
The indirect sales channel business model ensures that the required sales resources and competences are available to enable growth in new markets through the new channel partners. These indirect channel partners fall under the umbrella of the Nokia Siemens Networks Channel Partner Program, launched in May 2008.
The new solutions and market reach resulting from working with these channel partners enhances the OSS capability within Nokia Siemens Networks. The company reportedly has more than 600 network management customers and more than 360 service management installations.
KlugCom will provide Nokia Siemens Networks OSS capability in Latin America, where it is a professional services organization offering products and services to develop solutions.

Juhani Hintikka, head of operations and business software business unit at Nokia Siemens Networks, said: In the complex software market, collaborating with other software specialists helps us to address service providers regardless of their network vendor or technology. These new channel partners are focused on delivering service management software that improves the end-users customer experience, which we know can have a big impact on reducing customer churn.
