EXCELLENCE AWARD: INNOVATION
PMT’s Obsidian™ Service Connectivity Platform enables service exposure and management of API, IoT & Cellular endpoints through an end-to-end managed solution. This product is an Enterprise core-grade service offering positioned for enterprise banking, mobile network operators, IoT operators, and cloud-scale service providers. With Obsidian™, clients can reach the market faster and find new revenue streams.
Having access to Data as a service has become the foundation on which all services are built. The notion that all enterprises are trying to support their customer base through digital transformation and digitising access channels to services, promoting remote work, and striving to providing access for everyone to key and critical services, e.g. secure, open and freely available banking, we would like to motivate for the Obsidian™ Reverse Billed Platform, which forms part of the Obsidian™ Connectivity Platform, for the fact that it has allowed enterprises to freely and easily adopt Reverse Billed URL services made available by Mobile Operators to WASPs, and that through the Obsidian™ Gateway, we have provided an easy to use and secure platform in which enterprise can offer free access to critical banking services to a community that is in desperate need for free data services.
The platform has provided an easy-to-use engagement platform in which Reverse Billed services can easily and quickly be onboarded, in a secure and direct way, for protected endpoints to be made available between enterprise and consumer, where before enterprises were hesitant because of all the fraud that has occurred in this space. Through the Obsidian™ Gateway’s Platform, we have been able to play a big part in serving the underserved community, and this has been possible through technology enablement, allowing enterprises to fulfil their mandate in the country to make available their types of services, freely. The Obsidian™ Platform has reduced time to market through pre-engaged arrangements and integrations with the MNOs so that enterprises can enjoy and offer the benefits of a secure platform and offer free digital engagement channels to their customers in banking, financial education and personal financial management applications.
