The goal is to accelerate the growth of a sustainable mobile ecosystem that drives inclusion for all and delivers trusted services that enrich the lives of consumers worldwide.
Our involvement
In joining the MEF Púca has joined hundreds of leading organizations, collaborating to address the messaging industry’s business challenges to empower enterprise digital transformation.
Initiatives that Púca will actively participate in are the Future of Messaging, the Wholesale messaging forum and the Fraud management and security forums which focus on reducing Smishing and Spoofing by SMS.
Púca Director Eileen Carroll comments;
“Messaging is the key to effective business communications, and what the MEF does is brings the industry players together to discuss the important issues and developments to benefit the entire ecosystem. Púca looks forward to playing an active part in this very vital community”.
Meeting Cyber Security challenges
At the recent event “MEF Connects on Demand: Securing Current and Future Mobile Messaging Traffic”, James Williams, Director of Programmes at MEF commented;
“Initiatives like MEF’s UK SenderID Registry programme (now also being implemented in Ireland and Singapore) and indeed our Business SMS Code of Conduct, bringing stakeholders together around a common cause, are great ways of working towards the common goal of minimising threats.”
