Solaiemes shortlisted for an IMS Industry Awards 2014 in the RCS Package category.

We're delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for an #IMS Industry Awards 2014!

The winners will be announced during the IMS World Forum 2014 next week.

We compete in the Best RCS Package with our RCS Monetization Suite package that includes RCS network API and related monetizable tools that telcos can trial with an unbeatable offering.

For us it is very rewarding to be be competing with public companies and VC backed companies and cross the finger that this could open doors for growth, new customers, partnerships and investors.

Also, Solaiemes will participate and showcase demos in the WebRTC preconference Workshop showcasing how telcos can monetize WebRTC, both, exposing as web its voice, and also using WebRTC to create a myriad of innovative services combining web and telco.

Solaiemes, IMS technology partner of Project Clearwater

Solaiemes joined the Project Clearwater ecosystem as IMS Technology Partner.
Clearwater is IMS in the Cloud, a project sponsored by Metaswitch Networks.

We think Clearwater is a very good way to introduce IMS for telcos, decreasing both, complexity and cost, It worth to add value with VAS platforms from the ecosystem.

For us, it is great to become partners among a list of impressive telco technology companies as Telestax (we are Telestax partners also http://www.telestax.com/solaiemes-joins-telestax-partner-ecosystem), BroadForward, Metaswitch and cloud and virtualization companies as AWS (Amazon) and VMware.

IMS is not about a technology itself, it is about a way for telcos to create easily new IP based services and add value to their enablers. IMS is taking off finally but need options to be adopted by all telcos, not only the incumbent ones, and virtualized environments fill that gap. Application layer and VAS platforms may follow that path, and Solaiemes does.

We have tested our RCS API Gateway and our WebRTC-Telco Gateway and we can say that both are plug&play deployable on top of Clearwater IMS. Never telcos had so easy way to explore their future.

Stop talking, start playing the game. Solaiemes RCS Monetization Suite trial unbeatable offer.

Messaging is a hot space and, late but finally happened, telcos are realizing about the risk of becoming the feared "just pipe" if they leave the communication services space.

Amazing OTT apps made mandatory to offer person to person multimedia messaging for free and telcos need to offer a compelling messaging and at the same time discover how to monetize fairly the service.

It's OK, Solaiemes was working almost 4 years to prepare this moment, we build not only the pioneer and most innovative RCS network API but also additional monetization elements as the Developer Portal, RCS Store and RCS Ad Server to innovate in mobile advertising using chat based context "non-push". All our infrastructure can be cloud based and connected easily to whatever RCS core solution. As it makes no sense to launch or be testing RCS in a lab without exploring user engagement VAS and monetization capabilities we would like to present our offering to telcos:

6 Months of hosted Solaiemes Monetization Suite infrastructure including:

- RCS Network API Gateway
- RCS Developer Portal using 3Scale as API Manager
- RCS Store
- RCS Ad Server
- RCS Web/FirefoxOS client based on network API.
- 250 engineering hours for support, training, or creating API based B2C proof of concepts at your request.

TOTAL PRICE: 49.000 € 
& the amount will be discounted if you decide to go ahead and deploy commercially our products in the first licensing PO.

FAQs:

1. Why? Because of it is better to touch the things than just talk about, to build the future you have to touch the pieces as sooner the better.
2. As a telco I would like the trials for free... We understand and would like to do in that way but we have to eat every day, we are not based in the VC paradises and technology for telcos is not their preferred area either :-(. At the same time we think that is a better offering that paying twice or more just to get 50 pages advice from strategic management firms.
3. Can be customized the package with requirements as needing onsite stayings? Yes, let's talk.
4. Is the Solaiemes network API deployed in some telcos? Yes, in 4 tier-1 we can not disclose yet they have our RCS API GW and also the GSMA joyn/RCS innovation accelerator environment for developers is powered with our solutions.
5. What changes are needed in my network to use this trial? Nothing, we only need the RCS or IMS users/pwd and access to IP address of your SBC, the same than configuing device clients.
6. Is it useful without RCS launched commercially and without external develepers? Yes, as you can engage the internal telco geeks to create A2P cases to make the launch more exciting and showing that RCS opened with API is beyond alternative messaging apps regarding use feasible use cases to delight the users.
7. I am not a telco but a complementary technology provider, can we used the trial to create cases to bid jointly in the future to our customer based? Yes, let's talk.
8. As telco I am starting to select RCS core, but we are interested in defining business model and prepare in advance some B2C cases as our own Customer Care based on RCS, can be used the trial without a core? Yes. We can provide a e2e testbed based on Kamailio (the only features you will be missing are group chat and store&forward).

The successful boat is about to sail, come on board !!!
