ChangingWorlds, the global expert in mobile data personalization and
subscriber intelligence for mobile operators, today announced that it
has launched its ClixSmart Intelligent Portal Platform solution with
leading U.S. carrier Sprint for the delivery of its advanced
personalization and portal management solutions. Through working with
Sprint, ChangingWorlds will not only launch its ClixSmart technology on
the carrier’s own portal, Sprint Web, it will
also provide advanced personalization solutions for a number of Sprint's
cable partners and wireless wholesale customers.
Sprint is the third largest carrier in the United States and is now the
largest individual mobile operator to deploy ChangingWorlds’
ClixSmart solution.
For Sprint, ChangingWorlds’ unique ClixSmart
personalization solution delivers personalized content on the home page
based on the sites visited most often by individual subscribers.
ChangingWorlds’ ClixSmart solution
automatically generates personalized, dynamic content teasers that
enrich the user experience of Sprint Web and stimulate increased
click-through. ClixSmart teasers, which include text and images, are
rotated dynamically and personalized according to the ClixSmart user
profile to provide a compelling and relevant user experience designed to
encourage Sprint Web users into using more mobile data.
Sprint will also use ClixSmart Recommender to automatically generate
personalized content recommendations, which are relevant and interesting
to the individual mobile portal user and ClixSmart Campaign Manager to
promote content available on its mobile portal and to enable the cross
selling of mobile portal content.
“Sprint chose ChangingWorlds because of its
pedigree in building subscriber intelligence and delivering highly
personalized and relevant mobile data services to individual subscribers,”
said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product and technology
development for Sprint. “Using ClixSmart,
Sprint Web automatically learns what content the customer likes and puts
it on their home page, enabling Sprint customers to get the most from
the Internet on their phones even faster, when and where they want to.
The launch of our new ClixSmart -enabled mobile portal service has been
one of the most seamless and successful product integrations we have
done to date.”
Sprint is not new to launching firsts in the U.S. wireless marketplace,
having been the first U.S. carrier to launch a GPS-enabled phone, offer
navigation service on mobile phones, deliver an over-the-air music
download service and bring live video streaming to the mobile device in
the US. Sprint has always aimed to stay ahead of the game and this
latest deal with ChangingWorlds heralds another first for the carrier
and a new era of highly personalized and relevant mobile data services
for Sprint’s customers.
“Sprint is widely recognized for identifying
and deploying innovative technologies,” said
David Moran, CEO of ChangingWorlds. “We are
delighted to work with such a dynamic and innovative carrier and we are
committed to delivering the most advanced and sophisticated personalized
mobile data service in the U.S. market for Sprint. Our launch with
Sprint marks our expansion in the USA, a market we regard as hugely
important for ChangingWorlds, having already established a very strong
foothold in the European marketplace and a growing customer base in the
Asian market.”
