Syniverse Gains Market Traction with GSM Visibility(R) Services QoS Solution Quickly Identifies, Resolves Subscriber Roaming
Issues for Operators
TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2008--GSM Visibility
Services, a solution that provides mobile operators with immediate,
comprehensive subscriber data and expert analysis of their roaming
operations, continues to gain a strong foothold in the mobile
marketplace, according to Syniverse Technologies (NYSE:SVR), a leading
provider of technology and business solutions for the global
telecommunications industry.
"Competition for subscribers is intense, so operators are now
focusing on increasing the quality of service for roaming subscribers
to reduce churn and loss of roaming revenue," said Tony Holcombe,
Syniverse President and CEO. "Syniverse developed GSM Visibility
Services to enable mobile operators to effectively manage their mobile
roaming traffic by giving them the ability to rapidly identify and
resolve issues in both home and visited networks. This tool benefits
both operators and subscribers, and we think it represents an enormous
opportunity for global operators to increase roaming revenue through a
differential advantage."
Holcombe said the operator responses Syniverse has received since
introducing GSM Visibility Services last year have been phenomenal.
"Every operator who has entered our trial program for this
solution has signed a contract for the service," he said.
Syniverse has quickly secured more than a dozen customers for GSM
Visibility Services, including one with Telcel Mexico, part of America
Movil group and Mexico's largest operator.
From a single computer screen, GSM Visibility Services provides a
comprehensive source of real-time customer roaming activity. Access to
this information enables operators to effectively and quickly resolve
subscriber roaming problems at a customer-service level, rather than
having to elevate issues to higher-cost technicians or engineers. The
easy-to-use web interface requires minimal training, making it an
excellent fit for service departments with high turnover.
These benefits ultimately improve quality of service and
experience for an operator's roaming subscribers, which are typically
the customers that generate the most revenue. By allowing operators to
quickly resolve any roaming problems and drastically reduce downtime,
Visibility also ensures subscribers are able to quickly resume roaming
activities and continue to generate roaming revenue.
GSM is the world's leading mobile technology, accounting for
approximately 73 percent of the world's digital mobile market.
