HP Turkey Taps the Bazaar for Turkcell Solution
(By Amy Cowen)

With the help of the HP Mobile E-Services Bazaar, Turkcell, one of the largest GSM operators in Europe, is getting a mobile marketing boost. HP Turkey and Finland-based Add2Phone have teamed up with a solution that will allow Turkcell to easily manage the generation and deployment of customized mobile marketing campaigns for internal and external programs and brands.

Turkcell has been providing mobile communications in Turkey since 1994 and today serves over 19 million subscribers. The HP/Add2Phone carrier-grade solution puts Turkcell, and Mapco, Turkcell's mobile marketing arm, in position to maximize mobile marketing opportunities, strengthen brand loyalty and awareness, and increase customer satisfaction - all while taking advantage of the revenue streams mobile marketing offers. Making things even more compelling is that the solution is virtually plug-and-play.

The solution hinges upon Add2Phone's Mobile Advertising Server, a mobile marketing campaign and marketing application management system that offers flexible and easy-to-use tools for the creation, implementation, and maintenance of permission-based mobile marketing programs. The solution's Web-based interface and system of customizable wizards allows control from any Web-enabled device and makes running mobile campaigns a snap. The solution also provides powerful reporting features, including real-time statistics, enabling dynamic campaign monitoring and analysis for multiple campaigns and multiple customers.

With the technology necessary to implement such campaigns being handled behind the scenes by the Mobile Advertising Server, mobile marketing becomes a cost-effective and seamless front-end process. New programs can be rapidly created, deployed, and tracked. A scalable telco-grade solution, the Mobile Advertising Server supports numerous mobile technologies, including SMS, EMS, MMS, WAP, WAP push, XHTML, ring tones, Java (J2ME), video streams, GPRS, and 3G. In addition, the server's modular infrastructure ensures extensibility, so the Mobile Advertising Server can scale to meet Turkcell's ongoing needs.

After initial deployment, two additional Add2Phone components, Messaging Booster (a specific implementation of the Mobile Advertising Server) and Content Catalog, may be integrated, extending Turkcell's mobile marketing reach. For a major operator like Turkcell, the ability to fluidly create, distribute, manage, track, and sell mobile marketing campaigns fills in a key piece of the mobile service puzzle as well as plays into their customers' larger branding and marketing efforts. With HP's services, support, and infrastructure, and Add2Phone's Mobile Advertising Server in place, Turkcell stands to increase their mobile data services and create new revenue streams as well as strengthen the customer dialogue.
