Mobile Connect: Delivering global mobile identity services
Mobile Connect, the mobile industry’s secure digital identity service, is gaining momentum. Operators in many countries are now collaborating to offer country-wide identity services to digital service providers and consumers alike. Mobile Connect’s unique service allows for a global interoperable solution that gives the user a simple, convenient and consistent way to log-in to all their digital services whilst reducing the risk of identity theft and enhancing consumer loyalty to the digital service provider.
This seminar, aimed at operators and digital providers looking to offer secure identity services to their customers, will highlight the growth of Mobile Connect around the globe and showcase use cases and working practices from those already deploying the service. Panel sessions will discuss the future of digital identity in the mobile space and the role that Mobile Connect is fulfilling.
