Vlocity Communications Delivers Next-Generation BSS in the Cloud:

The most recent example of this trend is Cellcom Israel, Israel–s leading mobile provider and that nation–s fastest-growing provider of landline telephony, internet and Over-The-Top TV services. Cellcom recently selected Vlocity and Salesforce to lead its B2B and B2C customer transformation.
