MOBILE
Mobile proximity transaction technology Simply tapping a mobile phone to a terminal to pay for your groceries or train fare, or collecting loyalty points from retailers; its fast, convenient and fun to use! Near Field Communication (NFC) is a contactless technology which can be used to make such proximity transactions. The near future of NFC is in the payment and transport markets, where security and interoperability are underlying concerns for the players within the NFC ecosystem. These players are Service Providers (SPs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). The Trusted Service Manager (TSM) is the leading solution in the mass deployment of mobile proximity transactions. The TSM is a neutral intermediary that enables SPs to securely distribute and manage contactless services for their customers using the networks of MNOs. It facilitates contractual arrangements and everyday business between SPs and MNOs. Collis, as your trusted advisor, provides expertise and knowledge on how to implement these new technologies in a secure and trustworthy way ensuring trust in technology. Collis has done multiple vendor/wallet selections and have an in-depth understanding of what the vendor inustry has to offer. We have various RFIs and RFPs of the shelf available for you.
Your mobile success story starts here Two different worlds are brought together when enabling payments via a mobile device. The world of a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) is very different from the world of a Service Provider (SP), such as banks. At Collis, we assist you with getting an understanding of the other parties involved. Together with you, we determine your role within the NFC ecosystem and how to achieve and maintain this role. Collis has extensive experience with building Trusted Service Manager (TSM) infrastructures, as we have assisted tier one banks and MNOs worldwide. Schemes around the world have test procedures in place but do not cover end-to-end implementation. Via the Collis Test Centre, we can guarantee full compliance and technical interoperability for players within the NFC ecosystem. We provide trust that your product can be properly provisioned according to your business requirements. For a robust and future-proof implementation, you can take advantage of Collis best practises and our latest knowledge of the developments in the vendor industry. You can rely on our years of experience in the area of mobile payments and secure elements.

SERVICE PROVIDERS
The rapid adoption of next generation mobile handsets worldwide has created opportunities for new and innovative mobile services. You, a financial or governmental institution, public transport operator or retailer (the Service Provider), can use this technology to your advantage. Enabling mobile proximity transactions can open up new revenue streams, improve the relationship with your customers and can help you attract new customers. Together with you, Collis defines the best business architecture for interaction with new players in the NFC ecosystem to realise a future-proof proposition for your market.
Business model and solution architecture Collis offers advice on the NFC ecosystem, business case, architecture and design. During intensive workshop sessions, we identify your challenges and opportunities. We detect potential risks involved in implementing new technologies and expand your knowledge on the latest trends in mobile proximity transactions. We support you in defining your strategy, including the business model and high level architecture. Following this, we help you in defining your requirements, managing the procurement process, vendor selection and management. These services are delivered according to our implementation service plan, comprising of four phases in which we set various goals to achieve. Our standard approach can also be tuned to your individual needs. We ensure you are provided with the best business and technical consultancy suited to your business.
MNOs
Telecom Operators
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are key players within the NFC/TSM infrastructure. Your mobile network is used by Service Providers (SPs) to offer their mobile payment services to your mobile phone users and by also providing access to these phones. As a key player, you have to enable a secure and stable network, in order for other key players within the NFC ecosystem SPs and TSM operators to want to work together with you. Collis understands the complex challenges faced by M(V)NOs. We understand your concerns, from supporting your customer, through to the infrastructure challenges you face with new handsets, USIMs and continually evolving network infrastructures. Business model and solution architecture As an M(V)NO you have the choice to offer your network via an existing TSM, or to set up a TSM infrastructure yourself. This can be a TSM in cooperation with SPs (consortium model), or your own TSM (MNO centric model). Collis has extensive knowledge to assist you with determining the best TSM structure for your business and putting all underlying infrastructure in place. M(V)NOs can expect a high level of efficiency and expert knowledge from Collis consultants, as we have sound experience in working together with MNOs to identify their role within the NFC ecosystem. In addition to our NFC expertise, we offer you a SIM strategy, where you can select the best card vendor for your business. We can also provide you with TSM workshops, contactless payment knowledge and test tools, so that you understand all components that are connected within an NFC ecosystem.
Collis is indeed really committed to quality and efficiency. Joon-Ho Lee, Samsung SDS Co Ltd
TSMs
TRAVIK: enabling mobile payments TRAVIK, a Dutch consortium, was initiated by three MNOs (T-Mobile, Vodafone and KPN) and three SPs (Rabobank, ABN AMRO and ING). Their mission is to create an open eco system in the Netherlands for NFC-enabled mobile phones to deliver a generic facility for proximity payments. Collis was requested to be the exclusive technology partner to the TRAVIK consortium to set up a safe and secure TSM, which links the MNOs with the SPs and performs technical and commercial activities on behalf of MNOs and SPs. The TRAVIK consortium aims to connect all M(V) NOs and all banks, to facilitate any payment scheme and many more services than just mobile payment services in the future. Collis TSM implementation service consists of a four-phased approach, as shown in the illustration on the next page. In the first phase, which we call phase zero, we create a TSM/NFC strategy through intensive workshops with key stakeholders involved in the project. From there, we go forward into phase one, which consists of creating the NFC structure - definition of architecture, UICC and wallets, procurement process and high level process design. We continue in phase two by managing the implementation. In phase three, we manage the roll out and provide post implementation support.
Contactless mobile payments are enabled via the Trusted Service Manager (TSM). The TSM is the independent, trusted party that facilitates and enables information exchange between SPs and MNOs. It facilitates the infrastructure that makes it possible to offer services through a mobile network. At Collis, we are highly experienced in setting up TSM infrastructures. Rolled out in four phases, our consultancy services include preparation for decision making, creation of the NFC infrastructure, implementation and roll out. We have defined specific deliverables for each phase which ensure a successful project. Together, we determine which TSM model suits your business best: a consortium between multiple parties (e.g. between SPs and MNOs), SP centric or MNO centric. Each model has its own benefits and through phase 0 we will find out what model best suits your needs. Phase 1 and 2 will then set out several deliverables to ensure the roll out phase (phase 3) is ready. The description on the right hand side of the page provides further insight into Collis delivery model.
