Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing services, and Blueslice, the leading provider of subscriber management solutions for mobile, VOIP, FMC and M2M networks, today announced the formation of a partnership to incorporate enriched media and subscriber management in end-to-end IMS networks and applications for mobile, integrated fixed-mobile and multi-play operators.
This joint solution that combines Comverse's Converged IP Communications portfolio with Blueslice's Converged Subscriber Platform 3000, HSS 3000 and entry-level HSS 1000 provides subscribers with consistent access over multiple devices (fixed phone, mobile phone, PC and TV) to personalised services for communication, entertainment, and information.
As a result of this collaboration, subscribers will enjoy converged voice, video and messaging services, as well as data management - enriched capabilities that will enable operators to capture a greater share of subscribers' total communication and entertainment needs. The entire solution is scalable and meets the most demanding operator requirements.
Among the mobile operators already served by a joint Comverse-Blueslice solution is a multi-million subscriber Eastern European multi-play operator. Both partners are currently increasing their market penetration with additional IMS and WiMax service providers.
"We are impressed with the performance and sophisticated features of the Blueslice product suite," said Franck Darmon, VP and General Manager of Comverse Converged IP Communications. "With this partnership, we have added flexibility and an enhanced subscriber experience to our IMS solution, enabling it to adapt to a wide range of deployment scenarios and different service providers needs, including 4G, WiMax, VOIP, wireless and fixed networks."
"Blueslice is pleased to play a role in the emergence of the market-leading Comverse IMS offering," said Stephan Ouaknine, President and CEO of Blueslice. "Comverse has been a leader in value creation for carriers, and we are proud to add multi-profile subscriber management to Comverse's end-to-end IMS solution."
