Openwave Messaging Inc., a provider of messaging software solutions, recently announced that its Universal Messaging Suite has been selected by Belgacom (News - Alert), a Belgian communications operator. With the deployment of Universal Messaging Suite to two million mailboxes in Belgium, these users can now easily access email and messaging features, including 1 GB of data storage.
Openwave (News - Alert) claims that its Universal Messaging Suite has four main product areas: the Mx Messaging Platform, Security and Anti-Abuse Solutions, Subscriber and Identity Management, and the UMS Services offering. The UMS delivers a complete messaging solution in one integrated environment that is powered by an innovative, flexible infrastructure and based on a single message store and a single directory. This architecture provides access to multiple services from a single platform and delivers the high performance required by the customers.
“Our highest priority at Belgacom is to provide the most reliable and easily accessible messaging experience along with robust features for our expanding customer base,” said Laurent Meertens, engineering manager of messaging services at Belgacom. “We’re very confident that we are now providing our customers with a messaging solution that will serve them well into the future. We see this deployment as the first milestone in a broader collaboration between Belgacom and Openwave Messaging.”
Dave Ratner, president and CEO of Openwave Messaging, added, “Belgacom came to us in search of an integrated email and messaging solution that would deliver reliability and availability of service, provide a seamless way to support their growing data storage needs, and offer a clear path for bringing new, innovative features to their subscribers. They are a great partner for us in Europe, and we are very pleased to have been chosen by Belgacom to power their email and messaging service and provide their customers with a highly secure and reliable messaging platform.”
