Huawei secures top spot at Etisalat
Strategic Suppliers Awards
Huawei has been honored with the “Best
Strategic Supplier Award” by Etisalat
UAE. Huawei secured the top spot at the
inaugural Etisalat Strategic Suppliers
Conference. The event successfully
promoted better understanding and mutual
benefit within the ICT ecosystem, while
recognizing the key telecom suppliers in the
region.
“Needless to say, this is a proud moment
for the entire Middle East team,” explained
Poundss Peng, President of Etisalat Global
Key Account, Huawei ME. “Ranked number
one in 2015, based on a comprehensive
evaluation, this is the direct result of the
close partnership between Etisalat and
Huawei over the years, and the hard work
from both teams.”
Huawei and Etisalat have worked together
to outline the carrier’s future network
framework architecture vision and
produce a five year roadmap to achieve
end goals. Future network and operation
plans, that will enable the various national
visions of the region, will see Etisalat offer
personalized and seamless user experience
and services over the next decade.
In order to determine the winner of the
‘Best Strategy Supplier’, Etisalat evaluated
suppliers on several crucial sets of criteria,
like quality and performance of work;
overall cost competitiveness and added
value; how they approached innovation and
partnership; and capability to follow clause
compliance.
