The Growth Excellence Leadership award is given to the company that demonstrates excellence by growing strongly and capturing additional market share in the global CSP billing market, both in the short-term and in the long-term. In recent years, Huawei has shown market growth with its billing solutions exceeding the growth rate of the global end-to-end billing market.

"Huawei has emerged the growth leader in the global CSP billing market after an assessment of more than 100 suppliers of CSP billing solutions," said Troy Morley, Operations, Orchestration, Data Analytics & Monetization (ODAM) Strategy Analyst at Stratecast | Frost & Sullivan. "This extremely competitive market grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5% from 2009 to 2015. Huawei, during the same period, exhibited a CAGR of more than 14%, which is almost three times the rate of the overall market."

Huawei growth can also be demonstrated by the number of CSP customers its supports globally with its business management and billing solutions. In 2015, Huawei reported it serves 1.7 billion customers from 190 CSPs across 107 countries and regions in the world. Perhaps more impressive is the number of CSPs the company reports adding as billing customers in recent years: 20 new CSP billing customers in 2013, 17 new CSP billing customers in 2014, and 20 new CSP billing customers in 2015.

Huawei offers a full complement of billing, policy, customer and partner management solutions that span all segments of CSP billing.
