Visage Mobile is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides telecom expense management solutions for enterprises. Their product, MobilityCentral, is intended to simplify enterprise mobility management, as a web-based application. Visage MobilityCentral hosts a variety of tools including automated cost-savings recommendations, integration with AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless APIs, inventory management, and dynamic cost-accounting reporting. The company also provides managed services including device recycling, help desk management, break-fix, bill audit, wireless and fixed asset cost optimization, and bill pay.[1]

History

Founded in 2001 as an MVNE, Visage Mobile developed integrations with billing and Sprint network providers to enable branded mobility services. Visage Mobile was the back-end systems integrator for Mobile ESPN[2][3] and Disney Mobile[4][5] as well as Embarq[6] wireless. In 2008, Visage acquired Agistics.[7] In late 2008, Convergys purchased Visage's MVNE organization.[8][9]

Visage launched MobilityCentral in 2008 and in less than a year was recognized by Network World as one of the Nine Wireless Companies to Watch,[10] and was chosen as a finalist for the AOTMP Innovation of the Year Award.[11]

The company was acquired by Periscope Equity and merged with other acquisitions to form brightfin in 2021.[12]
