December 1st, 2005 - Orange Netherlands, part of Orange Group, one of the world's largest mobile communications companies, and End2End, Europe's leading provider of outsourced solutions for mobile data, today announced a strategic partnership in mobile gaming.
As part of the co-operation, Orange Netherlands is outsourcing its mobile games proposition to End2End. The outsourced proposition is based on End2End's Content Delivery Solution (CDS), Europe's most popular outsourced solution for mobile content delivery and management.
End2End's CDS enables Orange Netherlands to consolidate their complete mobile games offering onto a single platform to provide a unified end-user experience and efficient management of the content and user experience. Furthermore, End2End's CDS provides Orange Netherlands with powerful reporting capabilities to develop valuable business intelligence regarding usage and provide a solid basis for maximising games revenues.
In addition to outsourcing the technology platform, Orange Netherlands has also outsourced business processes related to games to End2End, including content acquisition, content provider management and content management.
End2End is now responsible for sourcing complementary content to that coming from Orange World, as well as managing all games content on Orange Netherlands' WAP portal, which has been developed according to the Orange Style Guide.
"With its market-proven Content Delivery Solution, expertise and experience in business processes, as well as excellent reputation, End2End is the ideal partner to deliver a fully outsourced proposition for mobile content," said Peter Verkade, Chief Commercial Officer, Orange Netherlands. "Outsourcing both the technology and business processes for games to End2End enables us to increase efficiency, improve end-user experience and drive more revenues from gaming."
"We are pleased to partner with Orange Netherlands for the delivery of a fully outsourced solution for their mobile games proposition," said Søren Ravn, CEO, End2End. "This strategic decision by Orange Netherlands further demonstrates the growing trend in the industry towards fully outsourced mobile content propositions combining both technology and business processes."
