Venue: Moscone Center
Mobile Connect is the global mobile industry’s secure universal identity solution. Now available to over 3 billion consumers worldwide, and with 52 operators deploying Mobile Connect in 29 countries, the service is fast becoming a major competitor in the world of secure personal data-sharing.
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 digital service providers and operators looking to offer secure identity services to their consumers, will highlight the global growth of Mobile Connect and showcase use cases and working practices from those already deploying the service. It will discuss the benefits to operators, services and consumers alike and highlight the opportunities afforded for the future
