Enhanced hosting partnership required to
support expected explosive growth of carrier-grade Personal Cloud
services
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR), the leading
innovator of cloud solutions and software-based activation for
mobile carriers, enterprises, retailers and OEMs worldwide, today
announced that based upon success and traction of the Synchronoss
Personal Cloud and additional new service providers slated to come
online in 2016, it has extended its secure cloud hosting agreement
with Vodafone. The deal will provide Synchronoss with additional
capabilities to leverage the Vodafone relationship to support the
rapid international growth in consumer demand for carrier-grade
Personal Cloud services.
Synchronoss’ partnership with Vodafone has been in place for a
few years. The global operator will continue to provide cloud
hosting services to Synchronoss across Europe, the Middle East, and
the Asia Pacific region, maintaining its global footprint and
adding scale to its global Personal Cloud solutions portfolio. The
subscriber base of Synchronoss’ operator customers provide it with
access to 75% of the potential Personal Cloud market around the
world and the company is capitalizing on this opportunity as it
continues to add hundreds of thousands of Personal Cloud
subscribers on a weekly basis. This demand is generating more than
a petabyte of data every week as consumers regard cloud
capabilities as an essential enabler of their digital lives.
“Cloud has become a critical part of our carrier customers’ core
communication strategy and the new normal,” said Chris Halbard, EVP
and President International, Synchronoss. “Having a white label
cloud offering that sits inside the carrier’s secure network allows
carriers to own the customer relationship. We are witnessing
growing conviction for the importance of carrier branded cloud
solutions, which is why we are excited to partner with
Vodafone.”
Together, Synchronoss and Vodafone are poised to meet the
increasing, world-wide demand for carrier-branded cloud solutions
with innovative cloud solutions and a global hosting environment.
The carrier market is recognizing the economic upside cloud has for
optimizing retail environments, unifying services across devices
and extending carrier functionality to third parties. The
Synchronoss cloud solution, (integrated tightly with Mobile Content
Transfer and device Activation) gives carriers the power and
flexibility to use the cloud to create a more valuable experience
for their subscribers. This gives carriers the ability to quickly
respond to the dynamic, churn-optimized market and add
differentiation in ways that complement their go-to-market
strategy.
