Stockholm, Feb 9th, 2016
CLX Communications’ (Nasdaq Stockholm: CLX (http://www.clxcommunications.com))
operator division, Symsoft, announced today a global software license and
distribution agreement for embedded products with SAP SE
(NYSE:SAP (http://www.sap.com/)). The agreement enables SAP to deliver the
Symsoft SMS Firewall solution to mobile operators. The solution, combined with
the services SAP offers to telco carriers, is designed to enhance the protection
of mobile operator networks.
The market for text messaging is changing for mobile operators globally. The
enterprise messaging (A2P SMS) opportunity is growing, with messaging revenues
from enterprises expected to overtake traditional subscriber messaging revenues
in the foreseeable future. In an increasingly complex ecosystem with new market
entrants, there is an urgent need for mobile network operators to control their
network to protect their mobile subscribers from fraud and illicit traffic, and
to monetize the enterprise messaging opportunity. However, many mobile operator
networks are still not fully protected.
SAP has broad experience in successfully delivering solutions and services to
mobile network operators globally. The global agreement signed with Symsoft
supports SAP’s ongoing commitment to protect and enhance the mobile operator
ecosystem.
The agreement includes a complete SMS Firewall solution, providing mobile
operators with:
· Extensive protection of SMS fraud cases
· Monetization of A2P SMS, which can help improve the operators’ bottom line
The agreement also includes firewall update services with recurring updates of
firewall rules, supporting protection of current fraud cases and effective
handling of new fraud cases. The SMS Firewall is a fully managed solution,
offering efficiencies, know-how and manpower savings to mobile operators.
“We are very excited about the global agreement with SAP,” said Johan Rosendahl,
managing director for Symsoft. “Our extensive SMS Firewall solution, together
with SAP’s strong market presence and in-depth industry knowledge, provides a
best-of-breed solution for mobile operators. We can confidently address existing
needs globally to strengthen mobile network security and improve monetization of
the important A2P SMS channel.”
Sethu M, president, SAP Mobile Services, said, “SAP's expertise in the
enterprise-to-consumers and people-to-people messaging business has helped us
create the SAP SMS Firewall 365 mobile service, which identifies unsolicited SMS
traffic and helps operators drive revenue. Our collaboration with Symsoft
combines our SMS interconnect expertise and Symsoft’s fraud management
capabilities, and puts us in a partnership position with mobile operators to
help them offset network investment with financial return.”
