Product Management Experience
They say you can always recognize a pioneer by the arrows in their back. We have extensive experience innovating new ideas, business models and disruptions in digital transformation. Some ideas flew high, some crashed and burned, and some were just a little too early for the market. Below are some of the innovative things we have achieved over the past decades.
Management within different product management units
Both Olle and Antony have for many years been responsible for product management units in various constellations, both in large companies such as Ericsson but also in several small companies in the US and Sweden.
Introduced self-service for mobile subscriptions for the Internet of Things
Subscribing to a Connectivity Management System for mobile IoT subscriptions can often take weeks and involve a lot of person-to-person contact. Connect Hub reduced this to 90 seconds via hyperscale cloud marketplaces.
Pioneer in connecting restricted IoT devices to Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core
Both AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub were designed for TCP/IP devices running TLS encryption. Ericsson Device Connect enables very limited narrowband devices to connect via UDP.
Reinvented eSIM implementation for IoT devices
The SGP.02 eSIM standard for IoT does not scale. Device Connect was an attempt to redefine how an IoT eSIM should work.
Launched the world's first mobile personal assistant
11 years before Apple launched Siri, the world's first personal assistant phone and radio technology was delivered in the US.
Built the largest social network you've probably never heard of.
At the same time as Facebook appeared, Ericsson launched a mobile social networking platform that actually became huge in Latin America, challenging Facebook Zero.
Innovative and winner of Microsoft Back Office Solution of the Year
Sometimes you have to go all in when your legacy portfolio reaches the end of its life cycle. Ericsson DNA was built on the newly launched Microsoft Back Office and became a global success, even outliving the system it was built to support.
