Best practices shaping the sustainability and future of messaging

Taking a cross-ecosystem approach, MEF’s Future of Messaging Programme brings together all stakeholders in the mobile messaging ecosystem, to achieve a common goal to promote and accelerate best practices in order to limit fraudulent behaviours and identify new opportunities for enterprise messaging. The self-funded initiative is part of MEF’s ongoing commitment to advocate industry best practice and self-regulation across the mobile ecosystem.

Enterprise Messaging performs an essential role as a critical communication channel – building user relationships, delivering customer updates, alerts, authentication etc. Something about growth. The market faces some key challenges, changes and opportunities, including:

  • Fraudulent practices undermining market value
  • Commoditisation – buyers do not always perceive the benefits of using trusted routes
  • Evolving regulatory landscape
  • Changing dynamics – new technologies and market entrants
  • New use cases from across ever-expanding enterprises and sectors

MEF’s Future of Messaging Programme was founded in 2015 to help its participants address the challenges through collaboration and leverage new business opportunities via two dedicated workstreams Fraud Management and Market Development, and in 2018 launched its Trust in Enterprise Messaging service.

Creating practical solutions to limit fraud, educate the ecosystem and increase consumer trust

The race to automate customer experiences across rich media messaging channels

Alex Klose, VP of Marketing at IMImobile, looks at the opportunity for enterprises to differentiate customer experience by combining new rich-media messaging channels such as RCS (Rich Communication Services) with customer journey automation platforms.

There is no doubt that consumers have a huge desire for messaging-based experiences. In fact, 66% of consumers prefer to reach brands, or be reached by brands through messaging apps, and two-thirds expect to increase their engagement with businesses via messaging channels over the next two years.

Member interview – MMD Smart

MEFTV speaks to Ira Cohen, VP of Marketing & Business Development at MMD Smart during MWC 2018, where he talks about their new platform Message Whiz and the future of enterprise messaging.

“There are verticals that will use other means rather than mobile to communicate with their customers.. there are a lot of companies, brands included, that are using emails to communicate with potential clients – they’re using on-screen ads, they’re not really using the power of mobile, which as we all know is ubiquitous – so the opportunity is huge..”
