AMSTERDAM -- Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT), and the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communications services, today announced at the Mobile Multimedia Messaging Content and Applications Congress in Amsterdam, the addition of its Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) Developer Suite to the Comverse Developer Zone (developer.comverse.com). Comverse's MMS Developer Suite offers developers a complete set of resources needed to build, test and bring MMS applications to market quickly. Comverse's MMS Developer Suite provides easy-to-use yet powerful development tools, comprehensive documentation, extensive support services and valuable community resources. The Comverse MMS Software Development Kit (SDK) is an important facet of the MMS Developer Suite that facilitates the creation of MMS applications by eliminating the developer's need to master MMS protocols and technologies. The Comverse MMS SDK is designed to accelerate developers' time-to-market and reduce costs and development efforts. This should enable mobile operators to more rapidly introduce new and exciting MMS applications and services to subscribers that can increase average revenue per user (ARPU). Benny Einhorn, Chief Marketing Officer for Comverse, stated, "Local content and applications are key drivers for MMS success. Comverse works closely with regional and local developers, putting special emphasis on cultural expression. Working at both the global and local levels allows Comverse - a global company with strong local presenceand staff located around the world - to team up with the most innovative application and content providers."
