He received his Ph.D. , chief technology officer of Vitria. "Leveraging our broad strength in telecommunications, we are taking the leadership position to make mCommerce succeed. Companies who had sought to become e-companies, now realize that they need to become m-companies as well, especially with the dawn of 3G wireless. Vitria's leadership will ensure this vision of mCommerce will be a shared one." THE THREE PROBLEMS: CUSTOMER CARE, BILLING, AND CONTENT DELIVERY To make mCommerce a reality, partners have to be able to solve several significant problems associated with cross supply chain provisioning, customer care and billing. The triangle of mobile service provider, wireless carrier, and content provider companies can work together in the Vitria framework to solve these problems. The mCommerce Customer Care Problem: Solved by Vitria Due to the high number of players who will be required to interact in order to deliver high quality services, it is imperative that all parties share and update information. This will be particularly necessary for new service enablement and customer care. The mobile services provider will be at the center of the end-user's mobile experience. It will ensure that the end-user is able to provision new content services (for example, acquiring a monthly subscription to a downtown parking garage) quickly and from the mobile device itself. It has to know the right providers of the content as well as the carrier that can connect to the end-user's mobile device The process models included in Vitria's mCommerce offering ensure that information exchanges occur among the right parties in the right order, without fail. The mCommerce Billing Problem: Solved by Vitria Partners are struggling to figure out how to get their fair share of revenue with so many parties involved in the transactions. BusinessWare for mCommerce makes innovative revenue sharing revenue sharing Funding arrangement in which one government unit grants a portion of its tax income to another government unit. For example, provinces or states may share revenue with local governments, or national governments may share revenue with provinces or states. arrangements possible. In particular, the business-oriented process models facilitate exchange of transaction information amongst all parties right down to each transaction. For example, if a monthly fee for mission-critical information is $10, parties may decide to evenly split the bill; all three parties have complete visibility into the transaction and billing. Wireless Content Delivery: Solved by Vitria Content delivery already poses an integration problem between carrier, mobile service provider and content provider. As consumers and businesses start demanding more, these service providers will have to start partnering with an ever-increasing number of content providers using different software mechanisms. New content feeds arise daily. As the number of feeds rise, the need for more dynamically allocated bandwidth arises. The end result is a swarm of partners, and an expanding business ecosystem which changes daily. This is a deep and complex integration problem, one that Vitria's integration server and business process automation is uniquely fit to solve. SYSTEM INTEGRATOR SUPPORT Leading systems integrators have already committed their support to the Vitria framework, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, DMR Consulting, and BusinessEdge Solutions. "PwC's New World Networks (NWN NWN Neverwinter Nights (computer game) NWN Northwest Nissans NWN Nowhere Near ) solution set already incorporates Vitria's Businessware for its EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) Refers to various techniques used to share data and business processes in large enterprises.
