Industry Study: Comverse is Value-Added Service (VAS) Global Market Leader
02 Luglio 2012 - 1:00PM
Comverse® (Nasdaq:CMVT), the global leader in business enablement
through BSS, mobile Internet, value-added and managed services,
extended its global #1 rating again last year as the market share
leader in Value-Added Services (VAS).
Worldwide market research conducted by industry analyst Frost
& Sullivan ranked vendor market share in the three principal
VAS categories: voicemail, text messaging (SMSC) and multimedia
messaging (MMSC) covering the period 2010-2011.
In the voice arena, Comverse maintained its imposing market lead
in 2011 with a voicemail market share (including next-generation
voicemail and visual voicemail) more than twice as high as that of
the runner-up. Comverse's strong second-place market share position
in both SMSC and in MMSC contributed to its decisive overall
first-place finish – with a total VAS market share several
percentage points ahead of its nearest challenger.
Ronald Gruia, Principal Analyst for Frost & Sullivan's ICT
Practice, interpreted the findings. "Comverse emerges as the
reigning overall VAS market leader globally in each of the two
years studied, with nearly a one-quarter total market share. This
is a significant achievement in a crowded field that is in constant
flux. Comverse is further distinguished as the only company to
place in the top two in all three VAS segments: voice, text and
multimedia messaging. In contrast, no other company was able to
accomplish a top-two ranking in more than a single segment.
Comverse's ongoing broad VAS leadership is noteworthy."
"Market leadership can be maintained over an extended period of
time only where there is practical innovation," Gruia added.
"Comverse's edge in this arena is consistent with the fact that
Comverse typically outspends its competitors in terms of research
and development (R&D) according to our findings."
"While it is gratifying to receive independent validation of our
stature in the industry from respected analysts, there is more to
this story than just the latest statistics," said Oz Ovady, Senior
Vice President and Value-Added Services General Manager at
Comverse. "Comverse has been in the forefront of VAS leadership for
more than 25 years by continually introducing compelling services
that enhance the customer experience and open the door to revenue
opportunities."
"Our growing customer base includes more than 450 communication
service providers around the world who rely on Comverse to add
value to their networks, and look to our broad, expanding portfolio
of solutions – such as VAS 3.0 – to take them into a future of
openness, opportunity, and optimized monetization of their assets
for sustained success and growth," Ovady concluded.
Comverse's unparalleled VAS strengths are complemented by its
strong global position in billing and active customer management.
