Telekom Srbija, which serves Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, has selected Comverse to modernise its messaging platforms, enable IP Communication, and lay the foundation for monetising future rich communication services (RCS).
“As the regional leader, Telekom Srbija aspires to improve the lives of our subscribers by being first to introduce advanced technologies that address their constantly evolving needs for communication, information and entertainment,” said Filip Banković, the CTO at Telekom Srbija. “Unification of all value-added services (VAS) in a single virtualised environment is a springboard to delivering a superior experience – including compelling new services and capabilities that our subscribers can now find here instead of seeking OTT alternatives.”
Using the Comverse Evolved Communication Suite (ECS) Core, Comverse mVAS will be enjoyed by all Telekom Srbija mobile subscribers, extending the reach to other IP connected devices. By delivering converged SMS, MMS, IP messaging and visual voicemail and evolving them to a digital experience that can be accessed across a range of iOS and Android devices, Telekom Srbija will build a critical mass of users for IP-based communication services by creating value, interoperability and an enhanced user experience for its customers from day one. In addition, Comverse ECS Plus is planned to be rolled out incrementally to Telekom Srbija subscribers, making possible delivery of popular rich services such as group chat, voice and video calls over IP.
“Spanning more than a decade, the longstanding Comverse-Telekom Srbija partnership has celebrated numerous notable achievements, and we are now looking forward to leveraging innovative best-fit and future-proof technologies to reach exciting new milestones together,” said Aashu Virmani, the vice presdient of products and go to market at Comverse. “The proven maintenance and methodologies of Comverse support services will help ensure gains from streamlined operations are optimized and long-term.”
Comverse is collaborating on this project with TERI Engineering, Comverse’s long term regional partner and reseller. TERI Engineering will provide front-line project management and maintenance support.
