Acision Selected by Vodafone UK to Support Next Generation Messaging
Share:
BARCELONA, February 13 -- Acision, the messaging and charging company of choice for over 300 network operators and service providers worldwide, today announces that Vodafone UK has commenced migrating its UK customers to Acision's next generation IP voice messaging platform. The fully scalable open architecture will mean Vodafone customers will continue to enjoy easy to use, fast voicemail services.
Next generation messaging revenues are predicted by Ovum to be worth US$12.7 billion dollars annually in Western Europe by 2010. To reach these levels, operators need to integrate newer messaging formats such as mobile instant messaging with those that are already high volume such as SMS and voicemail. As well as providing advanced voice messaging services, Acision's IP messaging platform is equipped to support complementary services.
Rory Buckley, CEO, Acision said: "Our work with Vodafone emphasises Acision's continued commitment to innovating next generation messaging. Working with customers like Vodafone we support the services that matter to them today while helping them build towards their vision for the future. Our open platforms provide opportunities for operators to continuously integrate new and improved messaging, enabling them to differentiate their services and compete within their market."
