VIVA Bahrain, the Kingdom’s most innovative telecom provider, announced its partnership agreement with CSG, a global leader and innovator in enterprise mobility solutions, to create an enterprise communication platform. Primarily, this platform will provide enterprise voice and messaging services with the ability to share files between registered employees. CSG’s application suite forms the foundation for the new platform that will be offered to serve companies in Bahrain.
The VIVA Communicator application allows users to send text messages, pictures, videos and file attachments in an enterprise controlled manner between smartphones and tablets. The app also provides closed Voice over IP (VoIP) calls and allows users to create closed contact groups for ad-hoc conference calls. With Enterprise features such as an interface to standard office phone systems (PBXs), voice mail, conference calling and calling the public phone network, the app ensures that company confidential information remains protected.
Saad Odeh, VIVA Bahrain Chief Wholesale & Enterprise Officer, commented: “Enterprises are constantly seeking to manage the risks associated with unsupported, free apps running on their network. By partnering with CSG we are able to introduce, for our enterprise customers, a communications app that allows them to address the risks associated with widespread and increased use of consumer messaging apps for sensitive voice communications and text messages. The VIVA Communicator App will enable enterprises to have their communications running through a controlled communications platform.”
“We are delighted to be working with VIVA Bahrain to offer this service to its customers,” said Harvey Boulter, Chairman of CSG. “Business communications have never been more vulnerable. With the proliferation of mobile devices and consumer messaging apps, confidential communications are taking place well beyond the visibility and control of most organisations. With the VIVA communicator App, VIVA’s Enterprise Customers can ensure that their confidential information remains under their control.”
The VIVA Communicator App will be available on Android™, iOS® and Windows Phone® mobile operating systems while it will work across cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite networks. With crystal-clear voice quality, conference calling and real-time instant messaging, the VIVA Communicator App will provide the complete solution for trusted business communications.
