History
[edit]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]
