Acision was a privately held British mobile communications network infrastructure company engaged in messaging and charging systems that enable popular services such as Short message service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), mobile internet browsing, mobile broadband, and voicemail. In particular, Acision specialised in providing IP messaging to over-the-top media services and other enterprises.[1]

Acision was founded in 2007 as a spin-off of the wireless networks business from LogicaCMG.[2] It existed as an independent, private company until it was purchased by Comverse, Inc. in 2015.[3]
