/noticias.info/ Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing services, and Blueslice, the leading provider of subscriber management solutions for Mobile, VoIP, FMC, and M2M networks, today announced the formation of a partnership to incorporate enriched media and subscriber management in end-to-end IMS networks and applications for mobile, integrated fixed-mobile and multi-play operators.
