This expands the number of destinations Qtel customers can send money to via mobile devices, enabling Qtel to provide customers with the mobile money services required to reach almost any global destination.

SAP Mobile Platform provides us with the technology we need to service our customers in the most efficient way possible.”
SAP also launched cloud-based SAP Rich Communication Services 365 (SAP RCS 365) mobile service.
For mobile users , RCS makes services — instant messaging, video and file sharing — simple and intuitive, and enables operators to create new innovative services.
SAP claims that RCS 365 enables operators to quickly establish themselves in this evolving market, excite their subscribers with new IP-based messaging services and capitalize on the underlying value of their network.
To provide full RCS 5.1 capabilities, SAP selected Mavenir Systems, a provider of software-based networking solutions.
