Unisys to provide enhanced features, including visual voicemail, to improve user experience

Unisys Corporation announced that Telefónica, one of the world’s largest telephone operators and mobile network providers, has expanded its successful partnership with Unisys in Europe to provide secure, next generation voicemail services to millions of Telefónica Deutschland customers in Germany. Unisys communications solutions support more than 200 million mobile subscribers around the world.

Under the terms of a mid-term contract signed in Q3 2019, Unisys will deliver enhanced voicemail capabilities, including visual voicemail, a visual interface that improves user experience by providing key message details, such as the contact details of the sender, the time and date it was recorded and the message duration. The solution will also pave the way for new capabilities for Telefónica Deutschland’s customers regarding modern voicemail messaging.

The voicemail solution is based on Unisys’ Voicemail Solutions (VMS) software and Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and Unity All flash disk arrays – as part of the companies’ strategic partnership, while the whole data processing will be handled via Telefónica’s infrastructure in Germany.
