VAS Deployment
With a tremendous uptake in VAS in recent times, there is a growing need
among Mobile VAS Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to be able to scale their
operations to meet the increased demand.
Apart from the traditional VAS offerings such as SMS and MMS, there is a new
breed of VAS that has seen exponential growth, such as Location Based Services,
Mobile Advertising and On-Device Portals.
The plethora of VAS, combined with the need to align with disparate operator
requirements across multiple geographies, exposes the ISVs to two key
challenges.
- Being able to scale their workforce to meet the spikes in demand
- Ensuring that the additional workforce has the required expertise in the
VAS domain as well as their specific products

of Mobile VAS products, complemented by a large pool of expert resources,
