VODAFONE LAUNCHES TWO INITIATIVES TO SIGNIFICANTLY BENEFIT
ITS KEY CONTENT PROVIDERS

 

•                  a new Global Games Marketing and Distribution Program

 

•                  a Preferred Partner Program

 

Vodafone today announces the launch of two major initiatives both designed to improve speed to market and lower costs for its key Content Provider partners.

 

Global Games Marketing and Distribution Program

 

The Global Games Marketing and Distribution Program will maximise marketing and distribution efficiencies for Vodafone’s content partners across multiple territories.

 

Under the plan, Vodafone’s key partners will be able to centrally secure guaranteed distribution within pre-set timelines across multiple Vodafone live! operating markets.

 

Additional portal placement and marketing commitments will also be offered to leading games titles on a tiered approach, with Gold, Silver and Bronze status offering different levels of commitment in return for reciprocal co-marketing from the Content Providers.

 

The program also offers significant operational efficiencies. This will be of considerable benefit to the Content Providers as the list of supported handsets continues to increase and development costs rise due to the new technologies such as 3D and Connected. Through this targeted support for its key partners, Vodafone can maximise efficiencies and distribution.

 

The result will be an unsurpassed multi-market delivery network, utilising local expertise to deliver on the ambitions and objectives of the Group and drive higher and more consistent revenues for Vodafone and its partners alike.

 


 

‘Having pre-agreed, pan-regional marketing and distribution capacity will allow us to run multi-territory co-marketing more easily, improve efficiencies for our partners and benefit the industry as a whole,’ says Tim Harrison, Head of Games at Vodafone Group Services. ‘Vodafone has invested heavily in marketing its games offering, and has always benefited from its distribution footprint but this initiative seeks to take mobile games marketing and digital retail to the next level.’

 

The Marketing and Distribution Plan will be in place in all major Vodafone Operating companies by the end of April, and will be rolled out to the remaining Vodafone Operating Companies and partner markets by the end of Q3 2005.

 

Preferred Partner Program

 

Also launching in April is Vodafone’s Preferred Partner Program. This gives key Content Providers - with the best track record in terms of quality, consistency and timely delivery - priority information on handsets, launch presence and the benefit of a reduced certification procedure.  In short, this will greatly improve the speed to market for the Content Providers’ games.

 

‘Vodafone has always had the strongest belief in delivering the highest quality content to our customers,’ says Harrison. ‘Granting preferred status to our key partners who have consistently delivered, is both a recognition of our trust in the quality of their product, and of the market’s increasing maturity.’

News release

21 April 2005

 

PUSH EMAIL FROM VODAFONE

 

Vodafone today announces the roll out of push email, a service providing real-time, secure and remote access to email, contacts and calendar direct to a range of business-focused mobile devices.

 

New email, calendar appointments and contact details are automatically ‘pushed’ to the customer’s selected device and updates made on the device are automatically reflected on the customer’s PC. In addition, customers can choose to download email attachments in popular office formats, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe PDF.

 

Vodafone’s research shows business customers have different mobile email access requirements, depending on the size and type of the organisation. The Vodafone push email service caters for all business IT environments, with an Enterprise version for companies wishing to provide access to their employees, a Desktop Redirector version for people who use their own mobile equipment at work and an ISP version for sole traders or small businesses.

 

During the launch phase, the range of devices that support the push email service will include the Vodafone v1620, the Motorola MPx220, the Nokia 6630 and the Sony Ericsson P910i. Additional devices that support push email functionality will be introduced into the range in the coming months.

 

“Vodafone intends to offer the best and easiest to use mobile email services for our business customers,” said Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer at Vodafone.

 

“Vodafone push email means more customers can now mobilise their businesses and benefit from greater business productivity and responsiveness whilst on the move. Customers can choose the mobile email solution that complements their IT system, whilst enabling mobile email users and Company IT Managers to select the device that meets their needs.”

 

The push email service is currently available from Vodafone Germany, Vodafone Greece, Vodafone Italy, SFR (France) and Elisa (Finland). Vodafone Spain is launching the service today with additional Vodafone markets launching push email over the course of this year.
