What SC.Soft does

SC.Soft is a private telecom software vendor headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan (with a European contact office in Paris), that develops a modular portfolio of more than 80 products for mobile network operators, MVNOs, telecom regulators, and — increasingly — financial institutions. Its core platform, SC.Multiplatform, unifies a Messaging core (covering SMS/USSD exchange via more than 20 modules such as SMSC variants, USSD Center, Messaging Hub, SS7/SMS Firewalls, SMPP Firewall, OTP/OTA) and a Voice core (Softswitch, IVR Portal, Call & SMS Screening, SmartConnect voicemail/callback, Pay4Me) into a single deployable system. The company also provides SC.EIR and SC.CEIR equipment identity platforms for national device governance, SC.RSP (a GSMA SAS-certified SaaS for eSIM profile management), and SC.Subscriber Control — a CAMARA-compliant, GSMA Open Gateway-aligned B2B platform for real-time SIM swap and device-change event tracking.

The company's technology spans legacy SS7/SIGTRAN/MAP/CAP/SMP signaling and next-generation Diameter/5G core signaling (DRA), with deep integrations into operator switching, billing, and HLR/HSS systems; SC.Soft states that its high-density design allowed one MNO (MTS Belarus) to consolidate legacy VAS onto 6 blades in place of 10 cabinets. Beyond the core platform, the portfolio includes DSTO and fraud-mitigation products (SS7/SMS Firewalls, Antifraud System 2.0, screening), VAS offerings (USSD Banking, USSD Push/Tails, LiveScreen, Campaign Management), and infrastructure products (Signal Transfer Point, DRA).

SC.Soft monetizes via CAPEX licenses and OPEX/SaaS contracts on multi-year enterprise terms, plus professional services for consulting, regulatory framework drafting, CEIR integration with customs, and operator training. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales (anchored from Paris), a structured Africa Partner Program, GSMA Open Gateway channel partnership for financial institutions, and a free self-deploying A2P SMSC and 4-week pilot projects as a low-friction evaluation entry. The company reports 250+ installations serving 350 million subscribers across CIS, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and operates under GDPR-compliant, ITU-T- and GSMA-aligned certifications.
