:: real revenue generation.:

As a mobile operator you are struggling with poor MMS traffic. If only you could double MMS volumes every six months. With Alatto’s MMS Alerts solution you can dramatically increase MMS revenues in a matter of weeks. The Alerts solution is part of a complete MMS Value Added Services (VAS) Platform that provides the means to confidently plan continuous growth and ease of innovation with MMS services.

:: generate a profitable return on costly MMSC investment.:
MMS Alerts services are the key to significantly growing MMS revenues. To date MMS traffic has been limited to P2P picture messaging, with disappointing volumes. While operators will continue to grow P2P traffic, the real growth in revenue will only materialise with an attractive operator-provided MMS alerts service in place.

:: convert SMS alerts subscribers to more valuable MMS services.:
Encouraging SMS alert users to upgrade to rich content services at a premium price represents an early potential return on investment. This captive audience ensures a rapid return on investment for new MMS services. It is important not to fall into the trap of viewing SMS and MMS alerts as the same. The premium price for MMS necessitates a rich content experience for the end user and more control of alert timing and frequency.

:: manage the content provider eco-system.:
The MMS format is not truly understood by the majority of content providers and barriers for third parties need to be reduced. Operators want the benefits of specialist and innovative content providers while using trusted brands for some services. A platform is required to manage this eco-system giving the operator choice of content providers with strong revenue reporting tools. Likewise tools are needed for content providers to create rich content and test the user experience on phone.

:: guarantee end-to-end service level for subscribers.:
Receiving the video snippet of that crucial soccer goal an hour after it happened is just too late. The higher the value of the MMS alert the more time critical it tends to be. An operator needs end-to-end control of time taken from raw media to MMS creation, submission, alert generation and successful receipt by subscriber. Selecting the right platform is crucial to success of a premium alerts service.

:: flexibility to grow MMS VAS.:
MMS VAS are new and immature. In order to quickly exploit market opportunities an operator requires a flexible platform. With alerts much of the early flexibility is in packaging, bundling services and promotions. However as new services are required the platform needs to support these rapidly. A single MMS Platform with all the required MMSC, billing and customer care integration from an agile vendor ensures the flexibility to drive profitable services.

 

:: memphis.alerts.:
As a mobile operator you already have the subscriber billing relationship, the MMSC infrastructure and most of the content relationships to generate significant MMS alert revenue. The missing link is an operator solution that also addresses needs of subscribers and content providers.

The Memphis Alerts solution from Alatto addresses these key requirements
