Comviva’s AVAN wins Golden Peacock Innovation Award 2011

BANGALORE, INDIA: Comviva, the global leader in providing mobile solutions beyond VAS, has won the prestigious Golden Peacock Innovation Award for its pioneering work in extending voice based applications across the mobile user base with its Aggregated Voice Applications Network (AVAN).

Comviva’s AVAN enables operators to deliver a highly diverse portfolio of voice-activated content and applications in a simple, standard way. AVAN achieves this by enabling the wider application developer community to rapidly develop and deploy applications on the platform – and providing a uniform access interface for the end user.

At the same time, AVAN optimizes the operator’s existing network to realize major efficiencies in terms of network utilization and deployment of operational resource. AVAN enables operators to create a sustainable competitive advantage in rapidly expanding markets where a large proportion of subscribers require voice-enabled access to content.

Manoranjan Mohapatra, CEO, Comviva stated: "At Comviva, our goal is to enrich people’s lives with mobile solutions beyond VAS. We work closely with operators and the wider ecosystem to achieve this – and at the same time we engineer our solutions to ensure operators are able to accelerate revenue growth, optimize cost structures and deliver an enhanced customer service experience.

"AVAN reflects these goals. AVAN is a prime example of how we help operators transform their VAS business by making services faster to launch, more cost efficient and engaging for customers. The Golden Peacock Award for Innovation is an acknowledgement of our focus on improving lives with innovative solutions and we are deeply honoured to receive this award."

Many mobile subscribers in emerging economies have little access to information and entertainment services via their mobile phones. AVAN aims to address this by providing access to such services with a voice-based interface. AVAN has recently been enhanced to enable delivery of video content via the same interface.

The Golden Peacock Innovation Award is a bi-annual award, which was introduced by India’s Institute of Directors in 1991. The awards are considered to be the greatest form of recognition for corporate excellence in areas of innovation, quality, training, governance, environment management and corporate social responsibility.

This year Comviva will be exhibiting at GSMA Mobile World Congress Barcelona at Hall1, Stand1E01 and plan to showcase its transformative VAS solutions that helps operators’ VAS business to optimize costs, drive revenues and build a stronger, more loyal customer base.
