Judges acknowledge integral role of Nominum in providing CSPs with new applications that increase customer retention, loyalty and monetization

Nominum™ has been shortlisted for the 2014 Telecoms.com Industry Awards in the 'Pushing the Limits Fixed' category, recognizing Nominum as a vendor that has made a significant, ground-breaking technological achievement. Nominum is enabling Communications Service Provider (CSP) Marketing teams with its suite of N2 applications to deliver highly effective and measurable campaigns, while CSP customer care teams can interact with customers via in-browser messaging. This innovation technology leverages Internet activity sourced from the DNS (Domain Name System), an underutilized resource that already exists at all CSPs.

Nominum has been a strategic partner to over 140 fixed-line CSPs worldwide for over a decade, delivering a reliable and secure Internet experience to their subscribers with its carrier-grade DNS-based products and services.

Now, it is "pushing the limits" of the DNS by providing a suite of highly effective applications based on DNS Internet activity designed to increase customer retention and engagement, and deliver a completely new channel of marketing and commerce, courtesy of a resource the operators already have access to. Every Internet query uses the DNS and Nominum processes 1.5 trillion queries each day.
