KTF Reinforces its Competitive Advantage as a Global Player with FioranoMQ
Customer Profile
KTF is a second largest service provider in Korea. KTF, established as Korea Telecom Freetel, started commercial nation-wide PCS services in October 1997 and started the era of public wireless communications services. KTF was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in April 2000 as the first company to record 1 million subscribers in the shortest period in the world, and was selected as the 4th company from among 100 IT companies worldwide, as well as the 1st company from among telecommunications companies in 2002 by the international business weekly magazine 'Business Week'.
Business Problem
- KTF required first of all, a robust messaging infrastructure. Due to KTF's large number of subscriber, the quality of service and 100% up time are critical for the business and no message failure can be tolerated by business. Even single service failure can give a deep impact to the business, robust messaging is the very important key interest in KTF.
- KTF required a superior performing product. In mobile service, message traffic is not evenly distributed from 0 to 24 hours. There exists peak time for messaging in a day. And also KTF has to prepare some special day such like Christmas day, New years day etc. which makes traffic explosion. If the performance of the product does not allow messages to flow, it also gives a business deep impact.
- KTF requires standard technology to implement integration among applications. If the product is not based on the industry standard, there will be difficulties recruiting engineers for the project, and more serious issues take place after finishing the project. For standard technology, it is very easy to expand the system, and easy to recruit engineers, and easy to maintain the system.
- KTF required instant and quality technical support. If something goes wrong either application error, or product error, technical support should be very quick and solve it instant. If it takes weeks, or months, It would be very hard for quality service to the subscriber which are the customers.
