A BIRCHWOOD-based business has bagged a new global partner.

MDS Global, which provides business support systems as a service, announced that a Mexican based business, VASDA, has chosen its services to facilitate the launch of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Mexico.

The full MVNO project, which includes web portals, mobile apps, online charging and core network components will be primed by MDS Global.

The solution will benefit the entire VADSA organisation and its end customers.

Natalia Saenz, president of VADSA, said: "We are about to embark on an exciting project which will offer new and differentiated services to the people of Mexico.

"MDS Global’s solution will provide us with the capabilities to successfully launch and operate a new MVNO on time and to budget.

"Jose Luis Sanchez, our CEO is taking VADSA into a next generation of telcos that need to focus on the customer and this customer-centric solution ensures we are future-proofed for today and tomorrow’s projects."

MDS Global’s CEO, Gary Bunney, said: "VADSA’s choice of MDS Global as their MVNO monetisation platform quickly follows that of other service providers looking for a more comprehensive, complete solution.

"It solidifies our unique and respected approach.

"Our pre-integrated combination of analytics, industry insight, experience and monetisation, offered as a service, speeds time to market for new entrants and those looking to improve their ability to service business and customer expectation and demand."
