as content, M2M, and mobile payment, outlining the backend
systems that can help CSPs rapidly monetize new business
models.

Evolution of RCS-e - Developments, Deployments and
Beyond," Comverse shares the latest news and
timescales for RCS and "joyn" rollouts,
commercial adoption, monetization, and customer experience
management considerations, while outlining how innovative
Rich Communication Offerings can revolutionize the user
experience and boost CSP revenues.
Both panels are moderated by Orly Rapaport, Head of
Technology Strategy, Comverse, with participants from
leading CSPs.

unified IP infrastructure opens the doors to a wealth of
services that can re-invigorate voice and messaging
revenues and pave the way to promising new business
models," said Gabriel Matsliach, Senior Vice
President, Chief Product Officer, Comverse. "To
monetize that potential, CSPs must also be prepared with
the right back-office BSS capability - one that is designed
from the ground up to enable
smart monetization of these new business models and
provide superb customer management."
