Communology, a specialist in carrier-grade application development, announced that it joined the Acision Innovation Network to develop device-specific software clients for Acision (News - Alert) Message Plus.

Acision Message Plus, a mobile messaging solution, offers personalized messaging experience with functionalities such as copy, divert and auto-reply. It also offers a unified user interface for personalizing multiple messaging channels like SMS, MMS and SIP.

“It becomes increasingly challenging for users to come to grips with the growing number of communications channels, so there’s a huge demand for solutions that improve end user control,” said Thomas Kaehler, CEO of Communology (News - Alert), in a statement.

“In this market context, Acision’s Message Plus and our approach to developing convenient, carrier-grade apps are a perfect matchBoth companies are also planning to work on other applications, including Visual Voicemail,” Kaehler added.

Communology offers client software for demanding mobile services such as Visual Voicemail, instant messaging, unified communications, social networking, infotainment, mobile TV and mobile marketing, company officials stated.

Using prefabricated testing processes, the company helps mobile operators keep pace with innovation. It assists to reduce the time-to-market of device-specific client apps for platforms such as Android, Blackberry OS, Brew, Java ME, Symbian (News - Alert), Windows Phone 7, and others.

“It is my pleasure to welcome Communology to our partner ecosystem,” said David Frail, VP of Global Market Development at Acision, in a statement. “By working together and combining our innovative solutions and long-standing experience we can develop sophisticated communication services for a broad variety of mobile platforms.”

Acision’s Message Plus client-server solution empowers mobile operators to provide a high quality messaging experience with more control, flexibility and productivity to users, according to company officials.

Back in November, Acision formed an alliance with Sandvine (News - Alert), a provider of broadband network tools for fixed and mobile operators, TMCnet reported.

The deal provides operators with detailed traffic insight and capabilities such as traffic flow control, subscriber control, service creation and differentiation, as well as intelligent content optimization for mobile networks, company officials said.
