Virtuser is a DTI Innovation and SMART Award winning technology company based in London since 2001

Virtuser has extensive experience in many of the key innovations and developments in mobile, from drawing board to roll-out:

Mobile Applications

Virtuser and its team were critical to the end to end process of the Nokia Mobile Festival Guides, from specifying the development tools, environment and sourcing the critical team members, to specifying and managing the whole end to end process from wire framing and site mapping, working with external agencies, content providers and stake holders, to sourcing and building the provisioning tools and being on-site to manage smooth and successful roll-out and uptake, to even handling post event analysis and follow-up for the main contractor.

Virtuser's team is now working on the next generation mobile applications that have moved beyond static mobile applications to an integrated internet, mobile internet and mobile application based platform with integrated social networking, peer and profile based content and ad serving, as well as integrated mobile payments

Mobile Internet

Mobile Internet is growing exponentially, and one of our start-up clients has turned profitable early on mobile internet and its mobile advertising revenues. From taking existing web content and making it mobile, to adapting Content Management Systems (CMS) for mobile internet, to creating the business models that make the transition into mobile internet easier for clients, or supporting mobile content for major events, we have done it and can help with everything from the strategy to the implementation and ongoing maintenance.

Mobile Payments

Mobile payments are still in their infancy in many ways, however recent developments in banking regulations, as well as emerging markets and emerging demographics are showing evidence of jumping the plastic and e-commerce phase and moving straight to mobile payments. Virtuser has worked on a number of trials and projects, from pan-African mobile payments strategies, to public trials and roll-outs in developing, developed and niche markets. 

Mobile Virtual Networks (MVNO)

Virtuser's team worked on some of the first MVNOs in 1999 and 2000, before creating our own converged MVNO in 2001. This was the first converged MVNO at the time. This has given Virtuser's team significant insight into all aspects of the MVNO, and has been critical to helping some of the first other incarnations of MVNOs, including the some of the first lo-cost MVNOs, international calling MVNOs, enterprise MVNOs, etc.

Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC)

Virtuser trialled some of the first Fixed Mobile Convergence products for clients as well as developing and trialling products internally. Since then we have worked on converged billing solutions, some of the first all-IP convergence products, complex handover and handoff integrations as well as market strategies, handset and access point sourcing and development and product design

Mobile Telemetry and M2M

Mobile Telemetry has been a pet project of ours for a while, however, with modern mobile devices incorporating GPS, cameras capable of reading and relaying large amounts of information, including standard and 2D barcodes, as well as operating platforms opening up to be truly open, with access to cell location information, and these devices becoming widely available, the opportunity is moving from pet project to the next big thing. We have already worked on projects in the B2B and B2C space looking at location based information and transactions managed via mobile applications on widely available handsets.
