SoLoMobile » Roaming costs reduction

Solo Mobile Goes Multinationial

Claudia — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 16:20:33 +0000

One of the big challenges we faced with Solo’s development was the ability to deploy the solution at a large scale in a multinational environment, i.e. with hundreds or thousands of softwares to install and configure automatically worldwide.
Thanks to the passionate commitment of a big multinational customer to help us succeed and the not least passionate engagement of our engineers, we got the green light today for a large scale deployment.

The solution, including many Sobox servers in several countries, will allow the users to:
- call anywhere anytime in the world with Solo features in a full transparent way: when you travel abroad, the “roaming mode” gets activated automatically, allowing you to call at fixed international rates (no roaming costs), for example (called “hidden mode”)
- call any number through an application (for example a number on Google Maps) with your Solo, without you even noticing, allowing you to benefit from the cost reduction (called “intercept call”)

If the full Solo Solution, including the Sobox, is now so steady and ready to go mainstream, it’s mainly thanks to this customer’s steady engagement: they supported us for a long time, convinced by Solo’s unique features, after a thorough worldwide market’s study. They tested the software in many different situations, reporting bugs, asking for specific features and suggesting improvements. Before the final deployment, we can already say it was an enriching human adventure and collaboration.

We’ll come back and share the whole story later on!

Here, a small video showing “the hidden mode”, which means that when you are abroad, the roaming mode will be automatically activated and you’ll proceed to your calls as usual (works on any PBX):

Too High Mobile Telephony/Roaming Costs?

Here are 2 banners for our partners to display on their website, blog. Just another way to put it!

Partners in Italy and Switzerland are already able to sell the full standalone solution, for the rest of the world it’s planned for Q3. Contact us if you’re interested by the solution (to reduce your mobile costs or to sell the solution)

Telecom World 2009: a success for SoSoftware

Claudia — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:45:27 +0000

SoSoftware was present the whole week at Telecom World 2009, as already mentioned here and here.

The investment in time, ressources was intensive, but worth the results, which outstanded the most optimistic expectations.

A kind of a magical mix operated during the week, made out of: great people on the AlpICT area, in our team (no less than 10 people, from Italy and Switzerland, on the conference’s day), connections, the best of mixed-networks in action, the interest of big international groups leading to the interest of others, Telecom giving legitimacy to our Solution, the emphasize on the “Costs Reduction” aspect at the right time were among the main success factors.

Translated into figures, this gives:

7000 – 20’000 Solo

40 new customers, from which big international organizations

More than 20 new partnerships

Europe

20-30 new leads

10 technological partnerships

20-30 new prespcriptors

Hundreds of questions

big asset

But also some personal statistics, such as the number of slept hours during the week (few, few), the number of sausasages eaten (many, many!), the number of times the word “SoLo” has been pronounced, and more: you’ll find them in short videos, as well as a couple of pictures and more on our Facebook page (are already a Fan?
