Synchronoss Technologies has managed to get a big deal on their hands today, more exactly a multi-year contract with AT&T to help with some iPhone tasks, such as supporting the launch and continuous operational support for the Apple phone.

The company in question - Synchronoss - is currently responsible for the activation of the iPhone, thanks to their ConvergenceNow software. Like most people already know, the iPhone activation is not a normal one ? it means no more waiting in line at the store to activate a phone, just do it anywhere you want.

President and CEO of Synchronoss Technologies - Stephen Waldis:

The activation experience that we?ve developed for AT&T and Apple, which allows customers to activate in the comfort of their homes, is a paradigm shift from the traditional process at retail stores today. Providing the software enablement platform that connects the must-have converged device, for music, video, web and all mobile phone enthusiasts, with the largest wireless carrier in the United States is a significant milestone for us.

While the deal of AT&T with Synchronoss seems to be a good, we will have to wait and see to check if they really do a good job. Don't forget that during the weekend after the iPhone launch, plenty of people had problems to activate the cellphone.
