DRIVING PROFIT FOR EMEA'S COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE PROVIDERS
VanillaPlus is uniquely positioned to report on major technological changes impacting the communications market and the effects of the global credit crisis. Today, we buy our communications services from utilities, internet service providers, mobile broadband network operators, virtual network operators, and even supermarkets. Add to this the interest now shown by Google, YouTube and MySpace and the picture becomes even more complex.
The services now incorporate entertainment and information as well as plain old vanilla, voice communications. This places enormous pressure on comms service providers (CSPs) to take your order efficiently, deliver it quickly and maintain it cost-effectively. So, who better to act as your guide and reference source than the VanillaPlus editors, writers, analysts and industry experts who have been predicting and reporting these changes since the magazine's launch in 1999?

"As a global provider of telecom billing solutions, Redknee needed an effective way to communicate with a geographically diverse target audience. We chose to participate in a Vanilla Plus hosted webinar and were very pleased with the results. Their promotion efforts resulted in an excellent audience mix, and they worked closely with us every step of the way to create a highly successful event."
Barbara Henris, Corporate Communications Manager, Redknee
"Throughout the incredible journey of the telecom OSS/BSS sector over the last 10 years, VanillaPlus has remained a reliable source of both key news but also informative, objective and thought-provoking assessments of the key trends which have shaped our industry. I am looking forward to VanillaPlus and their more recent Stream journal continuing to play a key role in providing valuable insights as we enter one of the most exciting phases of the telecoms OSS/BSS market evolutions."
