La Tribune talks about Abaxia on BFM Radio
Here after is a translation of the interview of Pascal Boulard (La Tribune) at BFM Radio with François Sorel;
- François Sorel (BFM Radio): Who is Abaxia?
- Pascal Boulard (La Tribune): They're a small French company, created in 2001, and loaded with intelligence. Abaxia publish software which enables mobile phone operators to organise the home screen lay out as they want.
- François Sorel: That's vital nowadays.
- Pascal Boulard: Yes, because the home screen is the first thing you see. That's where the applications are displayed, and also the options suggesting different services – services which the consumer likes, but which are also money spinners for the service provider. Obviously the mobile operators love this sort of function. Abaxia works with major mobile operators in 36 countries, including big names like Orange, SFR and Vodafone, and also with manufacturers like Nokia, Samsung and HTC.
As this type of service is becoming more and more important, they're planning to introduce performance related payment. Today there are more than 22 million phones using their software and with the arrival of smartphones the future is looking very rosy.
- François Sorel: It's true that for the operators as well, it's vital to be on the home screen, so that users have easy access to…
- Pascal Boulard:…all the services which make you consume a lot more.
- François Sorel: That's right – spend a lot more money

Interview with Konaxis.net. Abaxia and the Chinese market.
Extract:
Konaxis.net: How a French company like Abaxia penetrates the Chinese market?

Abaxia has gained experience on mature markets and is working with major worldwide manufacturers and European mobile operators, Abaxia has a good overview of business models and services that work and provide value, earnings and satisfaction to different players. Abaxia knows how to highlight services, which ones work and which do not. The adaptation is done with the cooperation and coordination of local partners.

Cédric Mangaud interviewed by Challenges.fr
Abaxia is a software publisher for mobile phone. We are 70 people working in applications for mobile. Our job is to develop user interfaces promoting the services of the operators.
We are working with most of the main manufacturers like Nokia, HTC, Samsung, LG, and the industry greatest players like the Orange Group or the Vodafone Group in more than 30 countries.
Abaxia supplies daily about 25 to 27.000 mobiles phones fitted with our applications and our profession is evolving and changing: we are moving from an activity of user interface where the goal was to control the phone menu for operators towards a menu more and more dynamic where we are trying to understand what the user wants, which services he is looking for in order to promote the most useful services in the user interface.
