Informa's Pamela Clark-Dickson said, "Acision's launch of its Innovation
Network in September 2008 could not have been better timed. The market leader
in messaging infrastructure was among the first to address the need for a
technology partner program aimed specifically at helping mobile operators to
cost-effectively introduce new mobile messaging services. That Acision has
subsequently built an impressive pipeline of business for AIN is clear
validation of its approach."
"The Acision Innovation Network has quickly achieved a level of success
and collaboration that is delivering innovation across the communications
industry," said Chris Jenkins, CMO of Acision. "The growing enthusiasm for
the network within the industry means we have developed a strong partner base
and list of companies seeking to become partners. The recent development and
deployment of new services created through the network - particularly in the
areas of mobile broadband, mobile marketing and charging - is proof that this
model delivers successful innovation in a competitive, fast changing telecom
industry."
The Acision Innovation Network creates a unique open environment in which
innovative solutions can be brought to market with reduced timeframes and
with managed risks for both operators and partners. The network features
three membership levels: partners - a select group of companies invited to
join and benefiting from close technical assistance, commercial collaboration
and co-development, and offered the option to pre-certify their products and
carry the Acision Assured brand; partner applicants - those companies being
reviewed for full participation as partners; and associate partners -
companies involved in broad collaboration and development activity and
involvement with the network.
