BANGALORE, India - Thursday, July 25th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- OnMobile Global Limited, a global leader in telecom value-added
services (VAS), today announced that it has won a deal with MTN Group
as preferred CRBT partner.
As part of this engagement, OnMobile
will start deploying RBT services for MTN subscribers over the next
quarter and will replace the entire service over the next 24 – 30 months
in selected geographies. This will help MTN to offer a more impactful
user experience to their subscribers.
A renowned RBT pioneer and
market leader, OnMobile Global was chosen as the preferred partner owing
to their innovative suite of RBT features which include search and
discovery options, storefronts, and live stream content. OnMobile
possesses the most tested technology in RBT, having been part of massive
global deployments in this space.
Sanjay Bhambri, Chief
Commercial Officer, OnMobile Global, said, “We are very thrilled about
getting on board with the MTN Group to migrate their RBT services across
22 countries. This partnership is very important to us and a major
milestone in making us undisputed leaders in the RBT realm. We will also
increase our global footprint by another 14 countries through this
partnership. Our extensive suite of tried and tested RBT features and
our solid experience in global replacements are key differentiators that
help us deliver superior value for both our customers and the
end-consumer.”
“OnMobile is very well known for their successful
RBT deployments and managed services offerings. Their deployments
globally have given amazing results to telecom operators and it is a
classic case in point of their expertise and experience. The business
model that they pioneered a decade back, strong technology backing it
up, experience in multiple geographies with complex network integration
requirements and changing regulatory environments worked to their
advantage during our selection process. However, their understanding of
local markets and consumer requirements were game-changers that clinched
our decision. We look forward to partnering with them successfully,”
said Mr. Pieter C Verkade, MTN Group Chief Commercial Officer.
The
consumer behavior for RBT services has undergone a revolution over the
last few years and subscriptions have increased exponentially. With more
than a decade of industry experience and global expansion, OnMobile
will leverage its best practices across the globe to make this a
seamless transition for MTN’s 191 million subscriber base.
“As
MTN, we are always trying to improve the quality of service for our
customers. And through this deal with OnMobile, we hope to ensure that
our customers never hear a boring ring tone again,” added Verkade.
