iGrade introduces new Virtual Message System

Johannesburg, 01 Apr 2003

Once again, iGrade showed its leadership in the field of integration and innovation in the IT and Wireless Communication field by introducing a Virtual Message System (VMS).

The iGrade-VMS is developed as a desktop application from where messages can be send to wireless communication devices, such as a SMS towards a cellphone. These messages can be sent towards individuals, or as bulk towards a database of contacts. These contacts can be employees, friends or customers.

According to Barend Venter, director of iGrade, this new cutting edge technology opens a whole new world of opportunities. It opens new ways of direct and interactive communication and marketing.

The iGrade-VMS is available as freeware, and once installed or downloaded on the desktop, the user can do an online registration, enabling him to purchase airtime directly via the Internet with a credit card. This will enable the user to financially manage the cost of a marketing campaign.

The application is customer base, meaning that the application is installed on the customer`s desktop and connect to a central server via the Internet. A database of all the clients customers remain on his desktop from where he can manage the list of persons to who he would like to send the SMS, meaning that a bulk SMS is possible.

Once a SMS is send, the receiver of the SMS can reply to the SMS from his phone, making the iGrade-VMS a unique product with interactive functionalities. The reply is logged and a report of all SMSs with replies is available from a local point.

The iGrade-VMS can help you to counter the ever-increasing cost of you company`s phone bill. Instead of making a call, you can send all those reminders and notices about meetings and outstanding amounts as a SMS via the iGrade-VMS. Once registered, a log report is available confirming delivery of messages.

From a cost perspective, the iGrade-VMS does make sense to every business as it can put you in touch with colleagues, friends and clients - all at a minimal cost while it can save you time by sending it in bulk.

The iGrade-VMS is free of charge and is available from www.igrade.co.za/vms.asp
