In a move that opens up the world of modern communications between multiple devices on different platforms, Internet Solutions (IS) has teamed up with Grapevine Interactive, a technology provider of business messaging solutions.
The alliance deal between the companies further extends IS`s extensive infrastructure into a multi-channel environment.
Whether it`s an SMS, fax, voice call or e-mail message, it`s now possible to communicate across multiple platforms effortlessly. IS and Grapevine Interactive have introduced a service that allows organisations to communicate with their customers, staff and suppliers by whichever means is most appropriate or convenient.
Mobile messaging extends the frontiers of business communication by making the Internet mobile. A fax can be turned into an e-mail message or an e-mail message can be translated into a voice message. Whatever the medium the original message came in, it can be transferred automatically into just about any other medium.
The bottom line is that business communication can take place easily and cheaply and is not limited to the device that the sender or receiver is using.
