Openwave Systems has announced a collaboration with Digital Solutions Group (DSG), an African outsource provider for total fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions, and relationship marketing. The agreement is for DSG to distribute Openwave products while providing value-added professional services to operators in Africa and sub-Saharan markets.
The solutions will consist of Openwaves context-aware mobile Internet mediation and mobile analytics offerings, with advanced professional services from DSG. The integrated solution is designed to be a cost-effective way for mobile operators to monitor, manage and monetise the mobile Internet in emerging and growth markets.
The initial roll out of the software solution will be powered by the Openwave Mobile Internet ReadySet. This is a low-cost, pre-packaged platform that provides operators with a central point from which to offer new, revenue-generating, mobile Internet services. This roll out will be accompanied by Openwave Mobile Analytics, which provides deep analytics and rich reporting for mobile devices. Both solutions are specifically packaged for smaller operators seeking a fast return on investment.
Operators in emerging markets are exploring innovative ways to deliver easy to deploy mobile Internet services that can help them effectively compete in the open Internet, says Alan Park, Openwaves Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales. Openwaves context-aware mediation and mobile Internet solutions enable partners and customers to create and deliver compelling mobile Internet services that can help them add value and intelligence to all types of traffic including web, voice, messaging and video.
