Emagine Partners with VoltDB, Leverages Fast Data to Enhance Its Real-time Event-Decisioning Platform for Mobile Operators

SYDNEY and BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile operators today know they can significantly increase revenue opportunities by presenting tailored, relevant and timely offers to customers. To help operators take advantage of these opportunities, Emagine, a specialist provider of real-time contextual customer marketing software and managed services for mobile providers, today announced that it has selected VoltDB's in-memory scale-out SQL database for the core of its Emagine Real Time Event Decisioning platform.

Research shows that 54 percent of U.S. and Canadian consumers would consider ending their loyalty relationships if they didn't get tailor-made, relevant content and offers. Recognizing this, the Emagine Real-Time Event Decisioning platform brings usage and trigger-based marketing campaigns to life by delivering communication and offers instantaneously based on intelligent event detection (e.g., end of a call, use of the mobile device in a particular location or hitting a particular data usage threshold). This enables communications service providers (CSPs) to execute campaigns and communications in real time, delivering personalized messages to each individual customer while the customer's phone or device is literally still in his/her hands.

"We've been doing campaign execution for CSPs for more than 15 years; in 2015 there is no doubt that CSPs and their customers expect real real-time personalized interactions," said Emagine International CEO David Peters. "Our Real-Time Event Decisioning platform needed to meet these real-time demands. This means ingesting billions of network events per day from the CSP network, analyzing hundreds of thousands of transactions simultaneously, and then intelligently interacting with customers. We selected the VoltDB solution because it is unmatched in its ability to handle the peaks of the network data constantly flowing into our platform, empowering our CSP clients to meet the real-time demands of today's mobile user."

Emagine chose VoltDB because its architecture offers virtually unlimited scalability, a fast operational database and real-time analytics and stream processing for data-intensive applications that rely on fast, smart data.  VoltDB enables the Emagine Real-Time Event Decisioning platform to deliver personalized offers to mobile customers in real-time using triggers such as low-balance thresholds, end-of-call notifications and data usage within bundle.

"Too often, mobile operators are missing incredible opportunities to reach their customers with interactions they really want," said VoltDB President and CEO Bruce Reading. "Slow data processing is not an option today; with access to such innovative and accessible technology, it's no longer necessary for companies to settle for less than real time. We're confident that VoltDB's approach to fast data will help Emagine provide its clients with the resources and insights it needs to give its clients exactly what they're looking for, when they want it."
