Paris (PRWEB) November 17, 2003 -- SoloMio Corp. (www.solomio.com), a leading provider of value-added voice services software for mobile network operators, announced increased geographical presence and an expanded European team for sales, marketing and product support. With its newly-established SoloMio France SARL subsidiary and expanded Northern, Central and Southern European sales, marketing and service units, SoloMio has increased its capacity for customer engagements throughout the UK, Western and Eastern European markets. New team members -- drawn from Vignette, Volantis, Webraska, Brokat, Remedy, and Metasolv -- bring significant experience in the introduction of new technologies into the EMEA marketplace, in the areas of regional sales management, product marketing and pre/post sales support.

Value-added services to increase call completion and voice revenue are being evaluated very actively throughout the European marketplace," said Gina Veridiano-Martouzet, SoloMios Vice-President of Sales, EMEA. In response to the demand, weve added a 'dream team of experienced executives to work closely with mobile operators. Its a time of tremendous opportunity for SoloMio in EMEA."

SoloMio Smart Call Services:
Value-added services for mobile network operators SoloMio offers an end-to-end suite of services that create new opportunities for mobile network operators in the area of call completion. Activated by incoming calls, SoloMio provides mobile telephone subscribers with intelligent options, such as a one-click SMS response (e.g., "one moment, Is it urgent?" or "I will call you back immediately... "), which enables real-time communication with each incoming call --- when the subscriber is unavailable to talk.

Dale Vile, Service Director of the analyst firm Quocirca, stated, Beyond managing churn, the majority of the operators we speak with have two key objectives in common -- to drive adoption of data services and boost income from voice use across the existing subscriber base. SoloMio addresses both of these in a single, elegant solution that cleverly uses the mobile data capability of the network to enhance the voice experience. The end result is more voice minutes, incremental data revenue and happier customers".

"European mobile network operators are searching for new revenue opportunities", affirmed Richard Schwartz, CEO of SoloMio. "SoloMio offers the market a highly intelligent suite of call completion applications that provides the mobile network operator a rapid return on investment of its 2G, 2.5G and 3G mobile networks. SoloMios Smart Call Services offer mobile telephony subscribers a natural extension of their voice communications that leads to more, as well as more flexible, communications.
