IBM announced that IMImobile, a mobile data technology infrastructure and solutions provider to telecom operators, media companies and enterprises, has deployed IBM software to improve its service and cloud infrastructure management processes, according to TelecomLead.
"IBM has been providing clients with a holistic approach to delivering and managing infrastructure services aligned to evolving business priorities," said Pradeep Nair, director, Software Group, IBM ISA.
With its services connecting 900 million people in 64 countries and with operators like Vodafone, O2, Telefonica, France Telecom, Centrica, Barclays Bank, BBC, Aircel, Airtel, BSNL, MTN, Reliance, Tata and Virgin Mobile, IMImobile required a cloud solution that would help answer its growing business requirements.
The IBM SmartCloud Foundation software will assist IMImobile to streamline management of its cloud services infrastructure, strengthen compliance with stringent service level agreements (SLAs), improve infrastructure utilization and evolve process maturity with compliance.
IMImobile provides cloud-based mobile data services for revenue generation and customer lifecycle management across Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa and the Middle East.
