Telenet Upgrades to Acision's Next Generation Messaging Platform With Latest Voice Messaging
Services
READING, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Next Generation Messaging Architecture to Support Advanced Voice
Messaging and Future Unified Communication Applications
Acision, the world's leading messaging company, today announced that
Telenet, the market leader for Belgium's residential broadband, telephone and
TV services, is upgrading its legacy Voicemail platform to Acision's next
generation messaging architecture. This platform will allow Telenet to reduce
the total cost of ownership of its Voicemail solution, as well as deliver
Converged Messaging and Voice Mail applications for Telenet's full MVNO
mobile platform.
This new advanced messaging platform is a feature rich solution that
allows Telenet the capability to provide market leading services such as
Business Voice, Unified Messaging, VoiceSMS, VoiceMMS, Visual Voicemail and
Voice to Text all within a single solution architecture. In addition, the
Acision solution will easily scale to support Telenet's plans for rapid
growth.
Globally, wireless operators are seeking ways to provide subscribers with
compelling services to increase their ARPU. Voice was the original killer
application in the mobile world and, from a revenue perspective, it still is.
According to industry analyst firms, 77 per cent of global wireless revenues
come from voice services and that majority status will remain that way for
many years to come. With the Acision Advanced Messaging solution, operators
can continue to optimize their call completion cycle increasing billable
network activity and, in turn, revenue from voice.
Peter Michiels, SVP Network & Service Engineering of Telenet commented:
"For years, Acision's voicemail has serviced the needs of our fixed-line
telephony customers. Now, Acision's next generation platform will enable us
to provide additional benefits to our ever growing mobile subscriber base.
The advanced voice messaging functionality will enable our customers to
communicate in new ways and increase our service stickiness."
Tony Morrish, SVP and GM, Europe and Russia of Acision said: "The
deployment of Acision Voice Messaging Platform at Telenet is not only
endorsement of the strength of our voicemail offering but also marks the
continuation of an already solid relationship between the two companies. The
flexibility of our platform means it can be scaled to meet the needs of
service providers of all sizes and can be expanded to meet subscriber growth
at minimal cost."
Acision is also providing Telenet with upgrades to the voicemail software
and hardware platforms, as well as all implementation, integration,
maintenance and support services, making it the sole contractor for the new
solution.
