Navigating the RCS Journey in the Google Age


Monday, September 12, 2016
4pm BST / 11am EDT / 8am PDT

 

Following Google's purchase of Jibe last year and subsequent announcements by operators earlier this year, the GSMA's Rich Communication Suite (RCS) has experienced a resurgence across the mobile industry. In addition, Google announced that they will provide an open source version of an RCS client based on the universal profile specification, as well as provide developer APIs to enhance the RCS client experience. So what does this really mean to the mobile operator and for the industry as whole?

Join us for this webinar as we review the shift and developments in RCS over the last 12 months, what the focus from Google means, and provide a pathway to navigate a successful RCS journey to best suit your businesses strategic aims.

Attendees will learn:

The webinar will provide you with knowledge on:

  • Google's recent activity in the RCS arena
  • The impact of Google on the mobile operator's RCS service
  • Considerations to note when selecting a hosted RCS service
  • Establishing a foundation for an RCS future
*All registrants for the webinar will also receive an accompanying white paper on the same topic – Navigating RCS in the Google Age.

Who should attend?
Those who are currently deploying or considering deploying RCS or anyone interested in the strategic commercial implications of Google's RCS activity.
