Vlocity, the San Francisco-based cloud apps company, has announced that Cellcom Israel, a cellular operator in Israel, has selected Vlocity and Salesforce for an advanced cloud-based CRM and BSS solution.
“As Israeli consumers grow more demanding, and Israeli businesses expand into new markets, they need a communications provider that can deliver innovative solutions and superior service,” said Ron Shvili, Chief Technology Officer, Cellcom.
Delivering a superior customer experience is one of the drivers for maintaining high subscriber growth. We believe the Vlocity solution in combination with Salesforce Service Cloud will help Cellcom Israel build even stronger customer relationships, assist in providing quick and efficient resolutions to service requests, and facilitate the service provided by contact center agents.

Together with Salesforce and Blat-Lapidot we look forward to bringing cloud and telco-specific innovation to one of the most innovative Israeli companies in telecommunications today.
