Mobile Entertainment is reporting that AT&T Mobility is replacing its deck platform management system from partner
Motricity with that from software & services giant
Amdocs (the company that bought
Qpass back in 2006). If true, this will be a huge blow to
Bellvue, WA based
Motricity, which also recently lost their Bell Mobility account. That said, there won't be many publisher tears shed for the Frankenstein-
esque implementation of
Motricity's mCore platform at AT&T... which can trace roots back to a product
Moviso LLC (oh, the memories) implemented at
Cingular in the beginning of the decade. Apparently the change is happening as part of the phase out of
MEdia Mall and its replacement with
AppCenter as AT&T's storefront for all mobile content. According to the article, publishers will be transitioned to
Amdocs next month and AT&T claims, on its website, that
AppCenter is launching this summer (better hurry).
The AmDocs deal is now dead.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous... thanks for the update, did Motricity keep the business after all? What is the status of AppCenter?
