bcgi (NASDAQ: BCGI), a leading provider of products and solutions that enable mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide to differentiate their offerings and increase market penetration while reducing costs, and Telogic, a leading telecommunications solutions provider, have formed an alliance to offer efficient and easy-to-deploy payment and access control solutions to mobile operators in Asia. Through this new relationship, Telogic will act as a channel partner, reselling bcgi's Payment Manager and Mobile Guardian(R) to operators in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China and other underserved Asian markets. "Telogic is an integral new member of bcgi's Global Alliance Program, helping us extend our reach in a very fertile region for mobile operator growth and fueling our strategy to provide similar services to markets around the globe," said David Fondots, bcgi vice president of international sales. "bcgi's Payment Manager and Mobile Guardian, combined with Telogic's expertise in advanced telephony solutions, are filling a great need in the channel among Telogic's Asian customers." Together, bcgi and Singapore-headquartered Telogic enable regional operators to offer value-added, ARPU-enriching solutions tailored to their customers. This channel partnership allows for the economic distribution of services, enabling smaller market operators to have access to platforms that typically have prohibitive costs.
