- European operators receive targeted channels for added customer relevance
- 'Store-in-a-store' delivers familiar operator-branded experience and operator billing benefits
- Nokia's Ovi Store downloads top 5 million per day
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced its new Ovi Store operator app store concept for France's Orange and Deutsche Telekom. The "store-in-a-store" concept provides operators with a familiar branded channel on Ovi Store, and global opportunities to differentiate and build revenues with their own content collections and consumer-convenient operator billing.
Designed to provide operators around the world with new ways to differentiate, distribute and compete, Nokia's program lets these enterprises create their own apps and services with tools such as connectors, Ovi App Wizard and a set of application programming interfaces - including free cloud social and location APIs. These operators can also utilize marketing, promotional and content spotlight opportunities inside Ovi Store to promote specific apps and content along with easy one-click access to the operator app store from the Ovi Store's mobile home page experience.
With daily downloads topping 5 million per day, Ovi Store is a rapidly growing destination for apps, games and other content. And, Ovi Store continues to grow its industry leading integrated operator billing efforts with 112 operators in 37 markets.
