New Generation of Voice-Driven Services Allows Operators To Deliver High-Margin Features To Any Device, Across Any Network
CTIA Wireless, New Orleans, May 8, 2012—Almira Labs, a provider of software solutions for telecommunications and network services providers and enterprises, has announced the availability of its innovative BrainPhone StoreTM catalogue, which offers mobile operators, service providers and enterprises a comprehensive array of voice-driven services that can accessed by any device, across any network. The announcement came at the CTIA Wireless event, which is held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA. Almira Labs is demonstrating The BrainPhone Store at booth 4740 throughout the exhibition.
Using voice technology as a catalyst to deliver value-added services to consumers and businesses, The BrainPhone Store incorporates a vast catalogue of next-generation voice-driven services that can work with any phone and operating system, including smartphones, feature phones and fixed line devices. Offered as a cloud-based software solution to mobile operators and service providers, the BrainPhone Store enables providers to offer high-margin, value-added services, throughout the subscriber base. BrainPhone Store solutions are written in Java, which gives developers an easy-to-use foundation to create additional services that will have wide market appeal.
“We are delighted to unveil the BrainPhone Store at CTIA, which is certainly one of the most influential conferences in the mobile technology sector,” said Javier Martin, chief executive officer of Almira Labs. “Our intention is to demonstrate how this technology can become an indispensible, cost-effective resource for any operator or service provider that is looking to expand margins, increase ARPU, reduce churn and improve profitability.”
As a cloud-based service, the BrainPhone Store requires no hardware or software investment on the part of the service provider. BrainPhone Store services are delivered directly from Almira Labs’ cloud to the operator, enabling providers to maximize efficiency and profitability. The BrainPhone Store includes a number of next-generation voice-driven services that can be accessed by any device, over any network. Among these are:
· Voice2Email—robust services that allow users to send and receive emails via voice
· Voice2Social—enables users to update Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter statuses through the voice interface on their existing phones
· Voice2QR—allows users to access QR code technology through voice technology
· VoiceNotes—gives subscribers the ability to post updates and schedule reminder calls for events on calendars via the existing voice interface
· VoiceCasts—enables users to record and broadcast voice messages to multiple users across a mix of endpoints and networks
“Converged network operators around the globe are facing the harsh reality that their economic well-being is predicated on increasing ARPU from their entire subscriber base, including feature phone and even fixed line subscribers,” explained Ronald Gruia, Principal Telecom Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “The BrainPhone Store enables providers to cost-effectively deliver compelling and profitable value-added services across the entire base. Not only does this catalogue help operators improve revenue, but it can be low risk strategy for reducing churn and building long-term profitability.”
