T-Mobile Croatia and Sicap Deliver Cross-Network Device Management
Sicap and T-Mobile Croatia have reached a deal that will extend Sicap Device Management Center to serve T-Mobile Macedonia customers from the Croatian platform. World leader in Device Management, Sicap has the technological ability to allow global operators like T-Mobile to multiply usage of the platform by subsidiaries.
This new deal highlights the flexibility of the Sicap DMC and the satisfaction of T-Mobile with the performance of the software, implemented early 2006 by T-Mobile Croatia to deliver device settings to customers.
Sharing the benefits of DMC with sister company T-Mobile Macedonia adds a new cost-effective dimension to Sicap software as an enabler for cross-network systems within operator groups.
In the near future, T-Mobile Croatia will upgrade to Sicap DMC version 3, containing the “ Device Knowledge Center ” database developed and maintained by Sicap. For the operator, the advantages are clear. No other software on the market has such comprehensive data on virtually every mobile device on the market. Around 250 features are available for each of the 800 plus devices in the base, making it a great multimedia marketing tool.
Sicap Sales Manager Maxence Drevon-Balas who orchestrated the initiatives said “The beauty of Device Management Center is that it is built on a robust and modular in-house platform. This means that operators like T-Mobile can be sure that their investment will evolve with network technologies and marketing opportunities. We are delighted that T-Mobile has recognized the opportunities”.
According to Nikola Margetic, work unit Head of Development and Service Management department in T-Mobile Croatia, “Today, the seamless service activation provided by T-Mobile Croatia boosts the credibility of the country’s leading operator and contributes to its success in gaining and retaining customers. We trust Sicap Device Management Center to offer the same services to our sister company in Macedonia and enable us to capitalize on resources within the group.”
