RCS Business Messaging – Live Brand Campaigns at MWC Americas

Come to Innovation City to meet Brands, Aggregators and Google and experience the latest RCS campaigns and results. This year, Google and the GSMA’s Future Networks Programme will showcase RCS use cases from around the world to reveal how major brands are using this exciting Operator messaging platform to enhance their customer experience and fuel customer engagement.

Global adoption of RCS is rapidly accelerating around the world with 57 Operator launches and 165 million monthly active RCS users; a figure which is expected to double to 350 million by Q4 2018 and then double again the following year. What’s more, major brands such as Booking.com, ITV and Subway have already launched live RCS Business Messaging campaigns which are revolutionising the way they engage with their customers.

Through Chatbots and Artificial Intelligence, RCS Business Messaging enables subscribers to gain access to a range of brands and services from within the messaging app itself, allowing them to make restaurant reservations, book train tickets, make purchases and much more without the need to download numerous apps. RCS Business Messaging has huge potential, with GSMA Intelligence estimating that the market will be worth over $74 billion by 2021.

Operators, OEMs and technology providers are working together to introduce RCS based on the GSMA’s Universal Profile standard, guaranteeing interoperability across devices, networks and operating systems
