IBM and Comverse obviously feel they have a lot of help they can sell to mobile operators in Europe. The two companies have joined forces to create a “Centre of Excellence” in France, which will offer its services to operators globally.

IBM and Comverse:

Comverse is best described as a mobile technology provider, really. It offers services to mobile operators that allow them to upgrade both what they can offer subscribers, and the efficiency with which they run their networks. This includes integrating Internet Protocol (IP) tech into the network, improving customer and billing management, and improving basic network services like voice, messaging, 3G and mobile advertising.
