Value of the Symbian Product Platform for Nokia device business • Cost efficiency (R&D resources and cost) by common platform development. • Adaptation SW asset. • Common platform part integration and testing. • Centralized scarce competencies. • Opportunity for learning and competence development. • BG Symbian development can focus on product differentiation. • Centralized Nokia S 60 platform promise: • Application developer and customer support. • Error corrections. • Operator specific variants without compromising core platform. • Centralized maintenance point of existing S 60 product platforms • Opportunity to create new S 60 products by productization of the old functional platform e. g. by new product mechanics. 14 © 2005 Nokia
Intent of Symbian Product Platform Configuration Planning and Product management • Minimise time to market by proactive configurability definition • S 60 release and device HW modules easy and fast to integrate. • Utilize Maximum each technology area latest development and maturization in its own horizontal stream: • Interface and compatibility planning. • Impact into standardization and industry interfaces (e. g. MIPI), no bundled and vertical platform design. • Examples of technology areas: displays, cameras, memories, local connectivity. . • Enable different life cycles/technology area • Enable timely adaptation SW development Product differentiation Platform configuration definition Platform Integration Tech area x Tech area y and re-usable SW modules definition.

Part III Case: Nokia Symbian Product Platform Product Management key questions 16 © 2005 Nokia
Collaborative product management: what & when • Understand value and end-to-end maturity per functionality: Operators, developers and end-users. • Business group product plans and concepts. • S 60 strategy and S 60 product management. • Symbian OS releases product management. • Industry: standardization, IPR game, media and content format game players. • Technology suppliers. Operators control the channel Main players: • Vodafone • France Telecom/Orange • Cingular • Do. Co. Mo • China Mobile • T-Mobile • Verizon • Sprint • CDMA operators 17 © 2005 Nokia Developers innovate 400+ Forum Nokia PRO member companies 2 million+ forum. nokia. com registered developers.

Optimal focus on different lifecycle phases for maximum business benefits • Platform lifecycle management – Platform lifecycle phases: • Development and introduction. • Variation. • Maintenance. • R&D mindset drives focus easily into new platform development after first productization. • Variation and maintenance R&D is most profitable R&D. • Continuous resource balancing issues: • Maintenance and variation phase resource usage vs. new platform development. • Maintenance phase outsourcing? • Maintenance asset in BG. • Joint risk management with BGs: no business of top of development phase platform before certain maturity step. • Funnel and stage-gate model to manage short vs long-term R&D investment balance: several longterm development options under definition, conscious and timely decisions about new adaptation asset development and integration phase R&D investment. 18 © 2005 Nokia
Platform vs product differentiator - decisions • Continuous functionality level decisions: into platform or not. • Decision making factors: • Re-usability. • Several products. • Several operators. • Several platform releases. • BG capability to implement. • Scarce competence. • Architecture complexity. • Value for business • Importance for several Nokia businesses. • Value for Nokia technology or standardization strategy • Cross-platform functionality. • Platform or Nokia device portfolio Consistency • Feature which needs to be common cross-Nokia portfolio. 19 © 2005 Nokia
