MCI Consultants has been involved in developing mobile solutions for some of the largest financial and personnel institutions in South Africa.
Through this development, MCI has emerged with a cross-platform development layer, which enables them to quickly deliver user-friendly mobile applications and mobi sites for a multitude of data sets and uses.
Today, MCI has consolidated these offerings with a full mobile services capability that complements the networking and other product-related services that are already well established in the market.
Within this framework, MCI has already developed applications specifically designed for today's mobile users who demand instant data delivery to their handheld device, irrespective of the form factor, operating system, or wireless network. These products include the following:
* Financial market information service, including streaming market feeds (JSE/ASX/LSE), market indicators, financial news, self-managed portfolio and user definable watch lists. Users can subscribe to this service by registering on http://www.xchange.co.za.

* Business intelligence enhancements, including a mobile front-end for BPM and the capability of viewing management reports.

In addition, MCI has developed an Advert Management System, which fully integrates into all of its mobile products and provides an environment for targeted advertising, which can then form the basis of a mobile revenue stream.
“Connectivity is critical for interacting efficiently in today's constantly evolving business environment. It is now commonplace for your e-mail to find its way down to your mobile phone,” commented Aliki Droussiotis, Director of MCI.
“Not having access to critical data in order to respond, or make decisions on-the-go, may be more critical than you think. Consider the recent volatility on the world financial markets, where one can easily count the cost of being unable to react to those conditions.”
MCI develops mobile solutions across all the major platforms, including Java, Windows Mobile, Symbian, iPhone and BlackBerry (RIM). MCI is a certified BlackBerry developer partner and an official Apple iPhone developer. MCI also specialises in building WAP/mobi sites as well as WAP applications.
“MCI has the skills, resources and experience to develop mobile solutions for business that work,” concluded Droussiotis, “and can deliver customised solutions to enhance a business' operations, boost their efficiencies, thereby increasing their revenue.”
