3. Subscriber’s problems in using carrier’s
services
Mobile carrier has huge systems of both its own and content provider’s services
based on the following platforms:
• USSD
• SMS
• IVR
The advantage of this systems is an opportunity to dynamically change carrier’s
services.
But these systems also have the following disadvantages:
• The necessity for subscriber to remember a big amount of numbers. USSD
menu service can solve this problem partially
• No opportunity to build lustrous design as opposed to the software
developed for all platforms
• No opportunity of integration with other applications installed on subscriber’s
phone
• For IVR services , it takes too long for a subscriber to have the required
command executed as he has to listen to full record and struggle through it to
the item he needs.

8. Carrier’s benefits
Operator gets system which makes it easier for subscribers to access services,
therefore the following outputs can be expected:
1. Growing subscriber’s loyalty
2. Growing usage of services, including paid ones, that leads to direct economic
effect. For example, usage of short numbers for different services
3. Operator gets opportunity to deliver news (e.g. from RSS feed to subscriber’s
mobile phone, right into the carrier oriented infrastructure application)
4. Operator gets the software platform which can be used as a basis for other
innovations. For example, different applications can be integrated into the
platform, particularly carrier’s RBT system, such application has already been
developed by OLSOFT for IMMO Company (GOOD’OK) on iPhone, Android,
Windows Phone 7 and J2ME. In this case, such RBT app won’t exist as a
separate application, but as a “Mobile assistant” menu item
5. Offline call-center request voice system can be integrated into the application.
Such system is worked out in OLSOFT Company and can be easily deployed on
carrier’s side based on “Mobile assistant” platform
9. Carrier’s benefits
The usage of “Special Offer” module integrated into
“Mobile Assistant” allows to:
o Cut expenses on advertising campaigns made for
special events promotion (when the offer is
targeted for the carrier’s existing subscribers)
o Raise the share of subscribers, actively
participating in special offers through
“Participate” button placed in the app. It means
that:
Information about the offer is delivered directly into “Mobile
Assistant” application on subscriber’s phone
Subscriber doesn’t have to remember SMS numbers or USSD
commands
Subscriber can immediately take part in the event by pressing
“Participate” button in description message
Subscriber can find the short number of the offer in news text, thus he
can share it with friends and family
10. Subscriber’s benefits
1. Subscriber gets colorful and handy application, which makes it easier for
him to interact with carrier services, thus improving his loyalty
2. Since “Mobile Assistant” carries features, frequently needed for
subscriber (e.g. balance check), subscriber will be actively using such an
application, thus rising the possibility of interaction with other carrier’s
services
