Posted on September 27, 2018Boku Awarded Best Aggregator at the 2018 Global Carrier Billing Summit
Global Carrier Billing Summit is an annual event that was held this past week in London where industry leaders and influencers gathered to discuss the future of carrier billing. Besides technology companies like Boku, attendees represented a wide mix of companies ranging from digital giants like Google and Microsoft, to telco conglomerates like Telefonica and Telenor. It was in front of this audience where Boku had the honor of being named “Best Aggregator”.
According to the award committee, “The best 2018 aggregator award will be awarded to the vendor that has the most innovative DCB offering. This will be a diversified product offering that is effective, competitive and innovative. They have contributed to the developments of the direct carrier billing market with innovative features including major competitive differentiators.”
In addition to receiving the award, Boku CEO Jon Prideaux delivered a keynote presentation explaining why large scale aggregators play such a critical role in transforming individual carriers into a global network of interconnected technology and services. Jon also participated in a Q&A where he shared his thoughts on the role mobile apps will play in shaping the future of carrier billing. Read full post

Posted on July 31, 2018Like clockwork: the story behind monthly payment volume spikes
There is a familiar ritual at Boku that takes place before the start of every month. The network operations center in Mumbai begins coordinating with technical staff in the US and Europe to run through its checklist: System response times? Good. Transaction error rates? Good. Hardware utilization? Good. This routine continues until every major component across Boku’s primary and secondary data centre is confirmed to be in good shape. While nobody expects a failover to happen, the second site is there just in case it did and if there was ever a time to be extra cautious, this would be it: the first 24 hours of a new month, immediately after the clock strikes midnight… in Japan.
Meanwhile 7,000km away, Hiroshi is at home playing Monster Strike on his iPhone. Whilst it is past his usual bedtime, Hiroshi like so many other Japanese gamers has chosen to stay up late because come midnight, mobile games like Monster Strike will be releasing several highly-coveted characters, weapons, and armors to the public – sometimes at a discount but almost always with limited availability. And as soon as those special items are released, a tidal wave of payment requests come flooding in fast and furious. What does that look like? Read full post
