Syniverse has announced a multi-year agreement with Nimbuzz, a mobile communication and entertainment platform with over 150 million users around the world, to enable authentication of Nimbuzz users via Syniverse’s Enterprise Messaging Service.
As part of the app’s installation process, an end user must enter their mobile number, which triggers an SMS containing a one-time password authentication code. The confirmation text message delivered directly to the end user, which is enabled by Syniverse’s platform with low processing latency, subsequently allows the user to complete the installation and activate the app. A similar process to verify identity will take place whenever one of Nimbuzz’s users across nearly 200 countries forgets a username or password.
“Syniverse’s global reach and high-level service approach makes for the perfect fit to support our messaging needs,” said Joby Babu, chief operating officer of Nimbuzz. “We are very pleased with the way the solution seamlessly integrates into our existing systems, which greatly benefits our end users.”
Morten Brøgger, chief sales officer of Syniverse, added: “With a customer base across a wide variety of mobile service providers, Nimbuzz required a single solution to provide ubiquitous reach, and that’s exactly what the Syniverse Enterprise Messaging Service enables. In our position at the center of the mobile ecosystem, we are uniquely able to deliver the mobile connectivity necessary for enterprises, ISPs and app providers to deliver superior mobile experiences.”
