The partnership strengthens Nokia Siemens Networks' footprint in the Charging and Service Delivery Platforms markets.

Nokia Siemens Networks and OpenCloud have entered into an agreement where Nokia Siemens Networks will lead OpenCloud’s latest investment round. Additionally, the existing OEM relationship is strengthened, allowing Open Cloud’s technology to be integrated into Nokia Siemens Networks' charge@once unified suite – the highly scalable, flexible and modular convergent charging and billing solution.
