The GSM Association is the global trade association representing GSM mobile operators throughout the world. Its membership consists of 660 second and third generation mobile operators and more than 140 manufacturers and suppliers, who in turn serve well over 1 billion customers across more than 220 countries and territories. Since its foundation in 1987, the GSM Association has played a pivotal role in the development of the GSM platform and the global wireless industry.
The GSMA required its data and analysis service – which included a website, staging site and databases – to be moved to a single new physical machine, replacing the three separate machines the system components had been running on. The GSMA needed a supplier who could analyse the system, recognise the risks and undertake the work within a time limit – without any disruption to the many thousands of users of the live service.
The site used SQL Server 2000, IIS 6, ASP.NET, SQL Server Reporting Services, and customised security extensions to the reporting services.
“Not only has Blueberry fulfilled our complex requirements but also added value at every stage of the project. When you’re dealing with business critical applications, it’s good to work with a safe pair of hands.”
