In order to compete effectively in the mobile market, service providers must be able to supply new and updated services, over the air, cost-effectively and efficiently. Customer satisfaction is king; and customer demands are increasing. The service provider must be able to support a wide array of devices, applications and operating systems, and have the ability to manage every single device from the second it is activated, throughout its entire lifecycle. This process includes the seamless activation, configuration and provisioning of applications and services, real time problem diagnostics, customer care and security management. The need for a device lifecycle management solution, that easily configures and manages services and applications on multiple mobile devices, has never been so prevalent.

FAMOC empowers service providers and mobile operators to lower the cost of end user support whilst simultaneously increasing customer satisfaction. With devolved administration capabilities, FAMOC encourages the end user to self-fix common problems, which radically reduces demand on the help desk. FancyFon offers an option of reselling a customized version of FAMOC to business customers. FAMOC can be provided as either a hosted service or installed behind the firewall. Additionally FAMOC supports multiple operators in parallel, and therefore works seamlessly in multi-national environments.

Even on the road, a document can be pushed over the air to any number of phones, regardless of their operating system, saving time and resources. When a mobile device reaches end of life, FAMOC removes all applications.
