Elephant Talk Communications CEO Outlines Company's Mobile Telecom Expansion Plans in CEOCFO News Interview
SCHIPHOL, The Netherlands, March 29, 2011 - Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:ETAK)(http://www.elephanttalk.com/) an international provider of business software and services to the telecommunications and financial services industries today announced that Steven van der Velden, CEO was interviewed by CEOCFO, a weekly print and online publication that focuses on publicly traded companies. The interview is available at http://www.ceocfointerviews.com/interviews/ETAK-ElephantTalk11.htm.
In a comprehensive interview, Mr. van der Velden presented Elephant Talk's focused business model, which enables companies and governments to forge a close bond with their customers or constituents by setting up mobile virtual networks on a software-as-a-service (SaaS ) basis, without incurring their own costly and complex IT infrastructure. Elephant Talk plans to expand to up to 40 countries, Mr. van der Velden said. Mr. van der Velden also discussed plans for Elephant Talk's subsidiary, ValidSoft, (http://www.validsoft.com) which has entered into a contractual arrangement with Visa Europe to validate consumer transactions.
“Elephant Talk wants to manage the mobile cloud on a network-embedded basis on behalf of virtual operators,” van der Velden said, “Next to Elephant Talk’s sophisticated platform, ValidSoft will be key to secure the cloud and we believe that over the coming years, thousands and thousands of businesses from other industries like banks and insurance companies, supermarkets and other fast moving consumer goods companies, and also health maintenance, logistics and security companies as well as governments will use the mobile cloud to better reach out to their customer base or to their constituency. We believe that all of these businesses will need a strong partner to help them to manage and navigate that mobile cloud and to keep it secure. Therefore, we believe that Elephant Talk will be the preferred partner to be working in that sweet spot between the mobile operators on one hand and all of these virtual operators from these ‘new to mobile’ industries on the other hand.”
