Evolving Systems Completes Acquisition of Business Logic Systems
Acquisition Expands Global Customer Base and Broadens Portfolio of Customer Engagement Technology
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado, July 6, 2017
- Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVOL), a leader in real-time analytics, activation and consumer lifecycle marketing for connected mobile devices worldwide, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Business Logic Systems (BLS).
BLS, headquartered in Newbury, UK, specializes in data-driven customer value management and customer engagement solutions that have been implemented in over 20 mobile operators in Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean. BLS solutions turn customer data into actionable insights and personalized contextual offers. Customer engagement occurs through in-bound and out-bound offers and is further extended through a suite of loyalty and retention solutions.
"With this acquisition, Evolving Systems now has a customer base of over 90 customers spanning 66 countries across the world. The experienced team and technology from BLS, which provides actionable insights and relevant offers based on customer data, greatly complements Evolving Systems' software portfolio and 25 years of expertise in customer acquisition, activation and retention. The technology further expands our Managed Services platform for delivering on-tap strategic and tactical solutions", said Thomas Thekkethala, CEO of Evolving Systems.
Evolving Systems' solutions deliver a significant competitive advantage to organizations with a large subscriber base in the telecom, banking, retail and other sectors. Reaching a potential 1.9 billion subscribers each day, the Company helps its customers grow market share, increase average revenue per user (ARPU), stem churn or improve business efficiencies in a dynamic market.
"Carrier technology such as 3G, 4G and LTE, VoIP, m-commerce and social media advertising, followed by over-the-top (OTT) advertising, all arrived at breakneck speeds, forever changing consumers' communication behavior, as well as preferences and expectations for engagement with businesses and brands. Thanks to its nimble organizational structure and flexible technology, BLS has demonstrated its marketplace advantage as evidenced by a string of wins over our much larger competitors. We look forward to bringing this momentum to Evolving Systems and bringing our joint customer base valuable new engagement programs for their subscribers", added Richard Lewis, CEO of BLS.
