We’re welcoming Warsaw to the Infobip family
We’ve opened an office in Warsaw, Poland, continuing with our strategy of local presence in major markets. The Polish mobile market presents great opportunities for growth despite fierce competition, thanks to its vibrant economy which is doing quite well even in this climate.
The Polish market is a major one with a large population and a busy industry and finance sectors. Its position in the heart of the European continent makes it also an excellent starting point for reaching out to clients in the wider Central-Eastern Europe region. We’re looking forward to presenting our SMS and USSD solutions to Polish clients, who place great emphasis on service quality. With our global SS7 network, industry-leading SLAs for guaranteed delivery and a dedicated multilingual support 24/7, we’re confident we’ll soon leave our mark.
Having local employees is crucial, and a crucial part of our strategy. We’ve already hired local experts with in-depth knowledge of market specifics, client requirements and business culture. As with the rest of the company, they are the greatest asset and we’re happy to welcome them to the Infobip family.
We’ll be happy to bring you new stories from our global offices, stay tuned for more news!
Warsaw is Infobip’s anchor in Central-Eastern Europe
London, UK, Warsaw, Poland, 29 August 2012 – After establishing global offices in major business hubs across the world, Infobip is focusing on establishing regional offices in markets of great potential and has announced the opening of its Warsaw office. One of the world’s most trusted mobile services providers, Infobip is optimistic about its presence in the Polish market and the Warsaw office will also serve as its hub in the Central and Eastern Europe.
“Poland is a challenging market for mobile services and SMS in particular, mature and very competitive”, says Infobip CEO Silvio Kutic, “however, our world-leading technical assets, in-house engineered solutions and dedicated support service are our reasons for confidence”.
Infobip boasts a portfolio of services which are in great demand in Poland, most notably SS7 connectivity messaging and interactive USSD services, coupled with white-labelled applications and messaging platforms. All of this would not be enough to make a mark in the international telecoms market without Infobip’s international experience with both enterprise and operator clients, as Mr Kutic points out:
“Our employees are our strength, we have very experienced sales executives who work closely with our top development and support teams. We have already recruited local people and plan to hire more in order to build a dedicated local team, as is the case in our other regional offices”.

Vancouver is our gateway to North America
Officially announced this Monday, the Infobip Vancouver office has been in the works for some time now. Vancouver offers Infobip very specific benefits and it was a carefully chosen location, slated to become Infobip’s gateway to the North American market. With its buzzing gaming industry, it is the perfect location for promoting our Centili m-payments solution, but it also offers a foothold in the North American market for our enterprise and operator solutions.
All of this makes Vancouver possibly Infobip’s most important global office and such an undertaking required one of Infobip’s most trusted and experienced operatives. Massimo Cristini has previously worked on the other side of the Pacific, setting up and ultimately leaving the Kuala Lumpur office as one of our regional powerhouses. This made him the natural choice to be in charge of this project, but he’s finding it’s hard to break away from his Malaysian role, as his title will be Managing Director North America / APAC.
Maybe it seems like too much for one man to cover, but Kuala Lumpur is a well-oiled machine and I have full confidence in the team that we’ve built over the years. My role as MD APAC will be largely, shall we say, ceremonial.
Massimo Cristini – Vice President Business Operations, Infobip
Local presence always calls for local talent, even more so in demanding North American markets.
Local talent is indispensable for establishing your brand and business in a new country, that’s why we’ve recruited a young and enthusiastic team right here in Vancouver
Silvio Kutic – CEO, Infobip
The team has been thoroughly trained in internal processes and now has an extensive knowledge of Infobip’s processes and portfolio, which are just the tools for developing our business in North America.
Before starting to crack the demanding markets in Canada and USA, the first task for Infobip’s rookie office is to attend the Casual Connect event in Seattle, which started yesterday and concludes tomorrow. Headed by Massimo, the team will present Infobip and Centili to the targeted audience of gaming and social media companies – we’re sure it will be a success and watch this space for a report.
Vancouver announced as the next Infobip office
LONDON, UK, VANCOUVER, CANADA, 23 July 2012 – Following successful launches of global offices in Dubai and Sydney, Infobip, one of the world’s most trusted mobile services providers, announced today it is opening an office in Vancouver. As one of the leading providers of mobile services to enterprises and mobile operators, Infobip is looking to promote in the North American market its SMS-based enterprise mobile services, as well as the Centili m-payments platform targeting an audience of gaming and digital goods providers.
As an established mobile messaging provider, Infobip has a wide range of cloud services for enterprises and mobile operators. Infobip’s solutions help businesses bridge the communication gap and at the same time open new ways for operators to monetise their central position in the mobile ecosystem.
Centili is Infobip’s latest innovation, an m-payments system based on direct carrier billing technology, allowing purchase amounts to be charged directly to the consumer’s mobile account. Centili comes with a rich set of features for easy rollout by any merchant or mobile operator and instantly brings an added value.
Infobip CEO Silvio Kutic says, “Its IT and gaming sector make Vancouver the ideal location for our newest office, because Centili is especially formulated for seamless mobile payments of digital goods, in-app or in-game payments. Vancouver’s role as a trade and transport hub also means plenty of potential clients for our enterprise portfolio of messaging services.”
The Vancouver office will be headed by experienced executive Massimo Cristini, who has set up and was running Infobip’s Kuala Lumpur office until now. Mr Cristini says, “Opening the Vancouver office and introducing Centili to the North American market is an exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to working with the young and enthusiastic team we are gathering here”.
Infobip’s Vancouver office will be staffed entirely by employees who have been recruited locally and are currently in training. Mr Kutic continues, “Local talent is indispensable for establishing your brand and business in a new country, as we’ve already seen in our other overseas offices, and even more so in North America. We’re glad to welcome them to the global Infobip family.”
The first task of the Vancouver office will be to attend the Casual Connect event in Seattle, dedicated to social and casual gaming and associated industries, where Infobip will be exhibiting at stand C3E as one of the sponsors.
