[June 16, 2011] Unisys announces new value-added services Tweet Jun 16, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Unisys Corporation, a provider of messaging solutions, has announced a range of value-added services that enable providers to integrate voice-based services with social media channels. The new services, available on the Unisys VoiceSource Express (VSE) 400 Series platform, benefit customers who use smartphones and feature phones by bringing new voice and data applications directly to their devices. "With the explosion of new data-driven services and mobile offerings, carriers face significant competitive threats to their traditional voice business. To retain and grow their revenue streams, they need to leverage their deep, longstanding customer relationships and offer subscribers new ways to connect and communicate within the fabric of the social Web," said Steven Chuey, vice president, Global Solution Management, Unisys. "These new services from Unisys give carriers a secure, mission-critical platform to quickly develop and deploy powerful new revenue-generating services that add richness and depth to subscribers' user experience." In addition to Unisys Voice Tweets and Speak to Facebook, new Unisys communications solutions available to carriers on the Unisys VSE platform include: Messaging Solution, Notification Services, Value Added Services, Voicemail as a Service and VAS as a Service. In addition, the Unisys solutions are integrated with a digital content management capability that allows carriers to deliver subscribers personalized content, such as telco marketing campaigns, helpful information on service availability and usage, interactive emergency alerts and location-based targeted advertising. The open, flexible Unisys platform provides a powerful environment that enables fast time-to-market for new services. The first member of the enhanced VoiceSource Express (VSE) family, the Unisys VSE410 provides the reliability, availability, and scalability required for high-volume, integrated voice and data services. A "green" system, the VSE410 uses significantly lower power and cooling, and occupies a smaller footprint, than its predecessor VSE models. Also, it does not require a specialized data center environment with air conditioning or a raised floor. Combining with the VSE platform in an enterprise-class messaging solution, the Unisys Network Services Broker (NSB) provides network connectivity, enabling the VSE to connect simultaneously to IP, TDM and IMS networks. The Unisys NSB provides common signaling, media, and call routing services and simplifies how applications interface to disparate networks and devices. This allows providers to connect any service over any network and support coexistence of different platforms. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
