Vodafone India has launched the Vodafone Developer Platform which would enable all its local and international partners and application developers to connect seamlessly with it to offer billing services. This in turn will allow customers to pay for the application or any other content using their mobile phones.
The Vodafone Developer Platform opens up Vodafone network resources like subscriber profile, billing, location, messaging etc. for application developers and content providers to build their offerings. Developers will also be provided with a robust facility to test their applications and services in a simulated environment. This would enable them to create quality applications and services, customised to meet users’ requirements.
Commenting on the launch of the platform, Vivek Mathur, chief operating officer, Vodafone India, said, “With the growth of smartphones and mobile internet, people are increasingly showing more interest in mobile applications and content services. To strengthen the eco-system for application developers and content service providers and partner with them, we have launched the Vodafone Developer Platform.”
He added, “We expect the developer community to leverage this initiative of Vodafone India to create locally relevant applications, content and services and to monetise their ideas across operator’s customer base. The Developer Platform will help in streamlining the partner on-boarding and transparent commercial settlements. This will also enable our customers use their Vodafone accounts to purchase any application or content offered by local as well international developers and content providers.”
