Why VUSION? 1/21. Designing SMS campaigns is complicated,

requires programming, developers, technical knowledge, etcetera.

2. Current systems are inflexible, difficult to work with

3. Systems always connect in one country to one shortcode

4. Sharing shortcodes and platforms for multiple campaigns for different partners is impossible

Why VUSION? 2/21. Flexibility – designing campaigns without

programming

2. Scalability – one platform which can connect to multiple countries and multiple shortcodes

3. Extendible – open API enables development of VUSION “apps”, visualizations, dashboards, connections with twitter, etcetera

4. Multi-user – different user roles ensure you can run multiple parallel campaigns on one platform

What is VUSION?SMS backend (VUMI) – connect to multiple

shortcodes in multiple countries, manage sending/receiving

Web frontend – the management interface for campaign building, adding phone numbers, downloading data, etc.

API – Enables external VUSION “apps” to be built: visualizations, web-widgets, dashboards, etc.

What is so special about VUSION?

No programming needed for defining complex campaigns

Multi-user model enables different organizations to run multiple parallel campaigns on one shared platform (possibly even sharing the same shortcode)

Easy access to data, flexible filtering mechanisms

API enables organizations to easily build custom extensions depending on their needs (dashboards, visualizations).
