With the delivery of over 50 transformation programs, Ericsson's consulting and systems integration services is on a roll. The company has been winning multiple lucrative contracts which have proved to be sturdy revenue drivers. TV and media organizations are increasingly turning toward Ericsson for its expertise. The company has established itself as a dominant player in Cloud DVR deployment, with prominent clients like Belgian telecommunication firm Proximus under its belt.
