To be mobile or not to be mobile? AmVia demonstrates true mobile messaging

AmVia, a long time provider of converged messaging solutions has exploited the opportunities provided by an increasingly mobile workforce to extend its unified messaging solutions to mobile messaging.

Gary Cousins, Futurist at AmVia, comments, "Workers need real-time access to critical business information and the AmVia mobile messaging solutions, using best-of breed products, closes the loop. We are now able to demonstrate true mobile messaging in action."

Mobile Messaging is a natural extension from Unified Messaging as it takes advantage of new internet enabled wireless devices. Mobile Messaging allows access to groupware and ERP information from either an SMS or WAP capable device. This permits any enterprise with mobile workers to access all office messages from anywhere, at any time, using any mobile device.

The AmVia Mobile Messaging solution, now available, displays the delivery of office desktop information to a WAP enabled mobile phone. By using the AmVia MetaMessage conversion server technology one is able to read any email attachment on a WAP device or have the attachment printed on any fax machine. Plus, the SMS router technology provides notification of messages and also allows sms pull of backend office database information including website information. AmVia will soon be embarking on an aggressive around the country series of road shows to demonstrate this technology in action.

In conclusion, states Cousins, "Interaction with all office information and messages from anywhere, at any time on a mobile device is achievable today."
