February 2, 2011
The P.I.Web VAS Solution developed entirely by Turkish engineers at P.I.Works is a first in its kind on a worldwide scale with features that analyze, evaluate and report multiple value added services (such as SMS, unit loading, etc) and campaigns in a single platform.
Established in 2005 with %100 Turkish intellectual capital, P.I.Works has been providing mobile network optimization solutions to wireless operators worldwide. With its newly developed P.I.Web VAS Solution, P.I.Works has integrated Vodafone’s Value Added Services (VAS) and has allowed for a more efficient use of the existing hardware infrastructure.
The P.I.Web VAS Solution allows Vodafone Turkey to accomplish tasks such as performance evaluation and reporting on a single platform, and thus ensures cost savings by rapidly preventing potential problems.
With this software solution Vodafone will be able to closely monitor subscriber behavior and develop better suited tariff plans and more effective campaigns.. The P.I.Web VAS Solution also minimizes service interruptions experienced in regions with intensive data and voice traffic and during peak times like religious holidays or New Year’s Eve when subscribers’ cell phone usage is at its highest.
Bahadır Kuru, CTO of P.I.Works summarizes the project and says, “Vodafone Turkey implemented P.I.Works’ P.I.Web VAS Platform as a time and cost effective solution that would support the development, enhancement and diversification of its services and plans that are offered to its subscribers. With this solution, Vodafone is now able to more effectively assess the return on network infrastructure investments while offering to its subscribers better Value Added Services.”
Vodafone OSS & Tools Senior Manager Bülent Okta states the following about the project: “This project may be considered a turning point for Vodafone Turkey. As in the saying ‘You cannot manage what you cannot measure’. Thanks to this new performance management solution developed by P.I.Works for our VAS platforms our different departments will have a clearer view about performance and capacity utilization. P.I.Works, IBM and Vodafone Turkey formed a great team. This solution will allow us to use our existing platforms much more effectively and efficiently. And this will improve our Value Added Services while ensuring more effective use of operational budgets.”
