Nokia is not only a global company; it is a successful telecommunication company that had turn the world around for a better mobile technology. These newer technologies includes the use of Internet services in your mobile phones, and live data management of a personalized account. However for Nokia success in mobile technology Nokia uses various management databases. One of the recently databases that Nokia is planning to work in Nokia Seimens Networks is the recently announced acquisition of “ Apertio, a maker of databases that helps mobile operators consolidate subscriber information. The acquisition cost a sum of $205 million” (Radhakrishman 1). Apertio was among the first wave of startups to hop on the fixed/mobile convergence bandwagon, choosing to provide network operators with a common, open standards-based place to access and manipulate all of their subscriber data. According to the author Arun Radhakrishman from the article “ Nokia Seimens Networks to acquire subscriber database maker Apertio” the acquisition of this database demonstrates that customer data consolidation is of great importance when it comes to delivering new and improved services at high frequency. However the most important successful accomplishment Nokia has made is to introduce to its phones the capability of using Oracle’s Application. Nokia most large Customer Relationship Management database and successful among users is the use of Oracle Software. For example Phone users can view, edit and create entries within Oracle’s Siebel Wireless application for sales, service, and partner relationships management. Therefore Some Files used in this kind of database include Customer Names, Date of Subscription, Troubleshooting, New Items. According to Nokia Information Technology Chief Director, the team responsible for the databases include a specialized group of IT Members, who in a daily basis access the databases and update them accordingly to new information data. However the managers and related supervisors, get monthly reports of how databases are being accessed and what type of information is most often accessed. Therefore OLIP ( Online Transaction Processing) reports monthly how many transactions specifically had been made from Nokia After these information is gathered and accessed managers discuss the various strategies to consolidate data and make it easy for customers to access and update. For example customers may access Nokia Sales Database and view and select different phones in a daily basis , these fields goes into a database which makes a report , in which at the end of the month managers access and try to come up with new ideas to make the customer happier or even help the customers access these kind of data quickly . A Data Warehouse, by definition, is a logical collection of information-gathered from many different operational databases-used to create business intelligence that supports business analysis and decision making activities. Online Analytical Processing, otherwise known as OLAP, provides analysis of different categories of data within a data ware-house. OLAP and data ware-houses go hand in hand and OLAP helps corporations like Nokia make various business decisions. In the past Nokia has used the OLAP server SAS to summarize data they have generated through their data warehousing. Nokia uses this to manage and report on data that is from a variety of sources and to manage demand for lots of information from lots of users. Nokia can track retail stores to see which products are selling most, or review the many services provided on their phones such as downloading ringtones or browsing the internet. Once they acquire this data they make informed business decisions and profit from the additional knowledge they have gained. Nokia also uses data marts, which are simply subsets of data-warehouses. The marketing and finance sectors of Nokia, for example, need different data to interpret, so they are split up into different data marts. Nokia is using open source software to develop a new mobile Web browser. With assistance from Apple, they are using KHTML technology; the same that powers Apple's Safari. Nokia uses a data warehouse and statistical tools to accomplish advertising goals and understand buying trends. Nokia uses a Siemens Network. Nokia offers many different capabilities on their cellular devices. The internet capabilities available include but are not limited to: email, chat, and browser. Nokia uses software called OS2008, and currently runs on Nokia nx8xo devices. This allows bluetooth capabilities through infrared signals. They also offer upgrades that you can download from your phone off their website. Nokia uses Voice over IP which allows its users to send communications over the internet. This keeps costs reasonably lower for its customers. Nokia as a top leader in telecommunications and mobile phone devices.Nokia connects to the Internet by using w-fi to connect to the internet and they are powered by 802.11 wireless fidelity technology. Some Wireless carriers need the device 802.11 to get access to Wi-Fi. Depending on the provided Wireless carriers, with the internet service you can talk on the phone well you search the web. The speed of the internet is very fast and accurate. The speed of the internet is even faster when you are in a 150 foot distance of a hot spot. Nokia is able to provide a mobile communication in their devices at internet speed of 200 times quicker than dial-up which is extremely fast. Nokia uses the use of voice over IP. To help their business evolve with good communication services. Voice over IP makes the voice communication highly qualified. The voice over IP service helps the Nokia Corporation have better services and grow, and be a successful company Nokia as a big Corporation, it definitely applies four principles of network security because as companies open their networks to a wide variety of remote users, they are also risking exposure of highly valuable, proprietary, and sensitive information. They apply to four principles of network security by including networking interface, connecting device, communication media and software are all installed in Nokia Devices. Nokia and Cisco Systems represent a standing of enhanced network security to protect and secure your Internet/Intranet environments, and provide fast response to IP network attacks.
