When Mats Hultin, pictured, took over as group CIO at Ericsson four years ago, the company decided to review its large outsourcing contract. At the same time, the cloud team, led by cloud service VP Johan Sporre Lennberg, stressed for modernization and a clear cloud strategy going forward.
“We chose to combine the selection of new partners and a transition to the cloud, and put a lot of effort into how a modern collaboration structure should look,” says Hultin. “We understood we needed a cloud partner that was responsible for system integration and infrastructure, and where our role would be to hold the ecosystem together.”
