KISTA, Sweden, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ:
ERIC) targets a USD 90 billion small
and medium business (SMB) market in the US with a 5G-ready virtual
workspace service designed to address the needs of more than 6
million companies, representing 40% of the US workforce. Ericsson
Wireless Office removes the dependency of in-house IT expertise,
physical installments, and devices while providing reliable and
secure network access anywhere and anytime. The embedded security
framework delivers a secure remote access service that lets
businesses protect their applications from Internet threats while
maintaining control and governance of access over their
contractors, partners, vendors, and employees.
Ericsson has entered into a strategic partnership with Telarus,
the largest privately held master agent in the US, to market
Ericsson Wireless Office through its large ecosystem of technology
consultants.
Adam Edwards, CEO of Telarus,
says: "We are continuously seeking to expand our portfolio with
innovative solutions that create real differentiation in the
marketplace. Ericsson Wireless Office is spot on for today's
businesses as remote-work and hybrid-work models become the new
norm. It's truly a one-of-a-kind service that automates desktop
provisioning and software license management, giving businesses a
flexible work-from-anywhere capability."
The global pandemic has increased the need to work remotely and
accelerated the digitalization trend in workplaces. In 2030, almost
60 percent of white-collar work is expected to happen outside
company premises, according to a recent study by Ericsson Industry
Lab. Ericsson Wireless Office addresses businesses' needs by
adapting their IT strategy to support digital remote-work models
simply and securely. The solution enables businesses with limited
IT staff and budget to quickly onboard employees and consultants
with access to high-performing virtual desktops, including business
apps, compute, storage, and redundancy. Employees can work from
anywhere using any major operating systems or devices, be it a
smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop.
Dan Foster, Head of Global Sales
at Ericsson Wireless Office, says: "The pandemic has changed the
way we work and Ericsson Wireless Office addresses this
transformation by delivering a 5G- ready office solution covering
the applications, cloud, and communication needs for enterprises in
one single solution regardless of their location or device, with no
IT expertise required. Telarus is known for keeping its partner
ecosystem at the technology forefront. We are confident that
together, we can help businesses accelerate their digital
transformation."
Camille Mendler, Chief Analyst of
Enterprise Services at Omdia, says: "Supporting flexible working
became the number one technical challenge for US SMBs during the
pandemic. Currently, 44% of SMBs are actively considering
office-in-a-box solutions that bundle security, mobility,
communications and productivity tools."
Ericsson Wireless Office builds upon key Workspace as a Service
(WaaS) technology, acquired from StratusWorX, a cloud technology
service provider that delivers fully managed IT environments
to small and mid-sized businesses. On July
31, 2020, Ericsson completed the acquisition of the
StratusWorX WaaS Platform technology and patent
portfolio.
The Ericsson Wireless Office solution adds to Ericsson's current
enterprise portfolio. For more information, visit:
