Collaboration Offers a new Business Model to Support the Growing IoT
Market
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG
Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CSGS), the trusted global partner to launch and monetize digital
services, today announced a new agreement with Arrow
Electronics to enable quick launch and monetization of solutions
across the Internet
of Things (IoT).
The IoT includes a network of internet-connected objects such as smart
home devices, wearables and vehicles that collect and exchange data
using embedded sensors. Under a new agreement, CSG
will team with Arrow as part of an IoT ecosystem of companies that
work together to create, connect and monetize IoT devices and their
interactions.
"At Arrow, we support all the building blocks for IoT, from the sensory
edge to data connectivity to cloud-based platforms," said Aiden
Mitchell, vice president of IoT global solutions at Arrow. "With the
deployment of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) optimized for IoT, we
are able to support our clients with integrated solutions that move the
data they need from deployed products and assets. They can realize the
value of their data in efficiency gains, new services and great
experiences for their customers. The CSG Ascendon platform allows us to
provision our clients' solution on the network and provide global
billing services with a great device management experience."
Arrow will leverage the Digital
BSS (Business Support Systems) capabilities of CSG's Ascendon
digital service platform to quickly launch IoT products and services,
and configure and monetize revenue-sharing models among partners in the
IoT ecosystem. CSG will deliver Ascendon as a managed service to support
Arrow's large customers with comprehensive settlement capabilities as
well as web-based self-care to support on-boarding, product ordering,
self-management and role-based security profiles for business customers.
"The IoT includes an increasingly complex web of partners and device
ecosystems. Together, CSG and Arrow will provide a simplified way to
deliver any IoT business model, and put into place the processes and
systems needed to drive revenues from device interactions," said Ian
Watterson, vice president at CSG International. "As the IoT rapidly
continues to grow and define itself, Arrow and CSG will deliver the
flexibility that businesses need to build successful and profitable IoT
business models."
