Specifix Products with powerful data rights management and security
capabilities to allow operators to monetize data and comply with GDPR
while maintaining control of their business
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & MELVILLE, N.Y. –
Intertrust
Technologies and Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL) today announced an expansion
of their technology partnership under which Comtech will use
Intertrust’s Personagraph™ consumer data platform to power their
Specifix™ data management product line made for mobile operators.
Specifix provides automation that securely connects disparate sources of
raw data and transforms them into independent identity profiles at
scale. Personagraph is a key element of Specifix and provides advanced
data rights management and security capabilities that allow operators to
control and monetize their data while respecting their users’ privacy
and complying with privacy laws including GDPR.
“For years, operators watched app developers and others benefit from
their investment in maintaining high quality services,” said Sameer
Vuyyuru, Senior Vice President Comtech Enterprise Technologies Group.
“We designed Specifix to allow mobile operators to safely harness the
power of their users’ data and grow new revenue streams, while
maintaining their brand integrity as trusted service providers.”
Specifix allows operators to combine different types of data from
disparate sources, including maps, PII information, and even weather and
personal location data. It supports applications from audience analysis,
network planning, and targeted advertising all at the operator’s data
center. By using Specifix, operators can build greater margins and
value-added services without compromising their business. Comtech
leveraged years of experience in developing operator-centric software to
design Specifix, which easily integrates into operators’ service
infrastructure.
“The combination of our data rights management platform and Comtech’s
mobile operator centric Specifix platform is a perfect match,” said
Talal G. Shamoon, Intertrust’s chief executive officer. “By providing
the ability to securely ingest and analyze data sets drawn from multiple
sources, in combination with a technology that firmly places control in
the operator’s hands, our joint offering provides a perfect risk
management and monetization solution.”
