A centrally managed A2P Messaging platform provides the fastest and the most reliable way to reach the customer of one of the leading direct-broadcast satellite providers.

Here is an insight on how we collaborated with one of the leading global IT, consulting, and outsourcing clients and enabled it to #RouteItRight by enriching its customer communications using our product A2P Messaging Platform.

Challenges Faced

With a customer base spread across the MENA region, there was a need to maintain consistency in the authentication process. A similar channel was required for communicating new innovative services to the customers and accordingly inform various departments about customer activities on their OTT apps. Transaction confirmations, account-related alerts, and similar time-critical communications needed to be delivered instantly to avoid any revenue loss and enhance operational efficiency.
