Comviva wins awards at World Vendor Awards 2010

Comviva, the global leader in providing mobile solutions beyond VAS, today announced that it has won the “Best Outsourcing Initiative” for its pioneering Managed VAS Services offering and “Best Software Solution” award for its innovative Virtual SIM solution, at the World Vendor Awards 2010 ceremony held in London.

Comviva provides Managed VAS Services to both greenfield and established operators, enhancing revenues by improving service performance and speeding time to market, while achieving improved operational and cost efficiencies. While the VAS space is complex and highly dynamic, it offers operators an opportunity to differentiate their brands and improve margins. With its Managed VAS Services offering, Comviva enables operators to realize these goals.  

Comviva’s Virtual SIM helps operators dramatically transform the economics of individual telephony access and gain rapid entry into new and under-penetrated consumer segments. The Virtual SIM solution enables people who were earlier unable to afford a handset, to make and receive calls, send and receive SMSs and make remittances, virtually, using other people's phones. Virtual SIM requires no special handsets, SIM cards or additional client software - it works instantly on all mobile handsets.

Speaking on the occasion, Manoranjan Mohapatra, CEO, Comviva said, “We are honoured to win the World Vendor Awards as they are a testament to our pioneering spirit and our constant drive to innovate in the solutions we deliver and the business models we develop. Comviva has pioneered the Managed VAS Services space. The Managed VAS Services model draws on our experience beyond VAS to enhance the end user’s service experience. Importantly, it allows operators to focus on activities that generate greater value for their business”.

“Virtual SIM, a solution that is successfully deployed in the market, represents a major milestone in our mission to connect the unconnected in emerging markets across the world”, he added.
