Symsoft announced today a global software license and distribution agreement for embedded products with SAP SE (NYSE:SAP). The agreement enables SAP to deliver the Symsoft SMS Firewall solution to mobile operators. The solution, combined with the services SAP offers to telco carriers, is designed to enhance the protection of mobile operator networks.
The market for text messaging is changing for mobile operators globally. The enterprise messaging (A2P SMS) opportunity is growing, with messaging revenues from enterprises expected to overtake traditional subscriber messaging revenues in the foreseeable future. In an increasingly complex ecosystem with new market entrants, there is an urgent need for mobile network operators to control their network to protect their mobile subscribers from fraud and illicit traffic, and to monetize the enterprise messaging opportunity. However, many mobile operator networks are still not fully protected.
SAP has broad experience in successfully delivering solutions and services to mobile network operators globally. The global agreement signed with Symsoft supports SAP’s ongoing commitment to protect and enhance the mobile operator ecosystem.
The agreement includes a complete SMS Firewall solution, providing mobile operators with:
- Extensive protection of SMS fraud cases
- Monetization of A2P SMS, which can help improve the operators’ bottom line
