LogicaCMG has announced an agreement with Telecom Americas Group to deploy it's Multimedia Messaging solution. The LogicaCMG solution will be installed at ATL, an operator located in Rio de Janeiro and will also serve other group companies operating in the Brazilian market -- Tess, Claro, Americel and BSE. The contract also includes the regions covered by the new SMP (Servico Movel Pessoal or Personal Mobile Service PMS) licenses purchased by Telecom Americas in November 2002 -- Grande Sao Paulo, Parana and Santa Catarina.

Dick Blom, regional director of LogicaCMG for South America, said: "LogicaCMG's solution enables operators to quickly launch new revenue -- generating services to their subscriber base. Our technical excellence and expertise in delivering total messaging solutions including MMS, SMS, WAP and CBS worldwide differentiated LogicaCMG and meant that we were the only company in the region that could offer Telecom Americas the support it needed in order to drive its mobile services revenues."

LogicaCMG says that it has a global MMS market share in excess of 20%, with commercially deployed MMS solutions servicing over 65 million subscribers around the world.
