Gemalto Acquires Mobile Software Company O3SIS
Gemalto,
a leading player in digital security business, has announced that it has
completed the acquisition of O3SIS. The objective is to offer personal
data management solution across mobile and fixed line networks.
O3SIS
AG provides carrier grade Personal Data Management solutions to mobile
network operators. With more than one billion personal data records
managed and more than 300 devices supported, including
iPhone and
BlackBerry, O3SIS’ software suite, according to Gemalto,
allows consumers on the move to access and share any kind of personal
data – contacts, email, multimedia content – wherever its location in
the mobile equipment or
in the cloud.
O3SIS
also provides the “push email” technology used to notify and transfer
email to any mobile subscriber’s device regardless of the storage place.
O3SIS, which is based near Cologne, Germany, counts over 20 blue-chip
customers including tier-one operators, retailers and large enterprise
customers.
Commenting on the transaction, Oliver Piou, Gemalto’s chief executive
officer says, “With more than 70 references, Gemalto is already a
leading provider of phonebook backup solutions to mobile operators
around the world. With this combination, we expand Gemalto’s offering in
our rapidly growing software and solutions business, bringing our
customers the first fully integrated personal data management solution
across mobile and fixed line networks”.
O3SIS,
which employs approximately 60 people, will be fully integrated into the
Gemalto Mobile Communications segment over the coming months, and will
be forming the core of Gemalto’s personal data management offer to
mobile network operators.
By
combining O3SIS’ handset synchronisation to Gemalto’s
SIM card and USB
dongle-based software solutions, as well as its infrastructure for
operated services, Gemalto will target mobile network operators.
