Clickmarks Joins Forces with BT
Cellnet to Offer Mobile Voice and
Data Solutions for Wireless Networks
Enabling personalization, aggregation
and mobilization of any content
to any device.
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA - January
29, 2002
Clickmarks, a platform and applications
provider for wireless carriers and
enterprises, today announced an
agreement with BT Cellnet. The two
companies will offer a package of
application and network services
that enable enterprises to quickly
and easily provide corporate information
to employees on the move.
Clickmarks' Enterprise Habitat
platform makes it possible for individual
enterprise employees to select,
use and update specific information
from any number of different sources
via mobile phones or PDAs, using
BT Cellnet's GSM and GPRS wireless
networks.
Clickmarks' application provides
a personalized Habitat for each
user. The Habitat enables specific
elements of individual information
sources - ranging from enterprise
applications, production systems,
databases and data warehouses, to
e-mail and Web content - to be made
available in the small screen area
of a mobile phone or PDA. The Habitat
makes information retrieval and
updating faster and easier for users
by removing the need to switch between
applications or navigate through
non-essential screens.
"The emergence of faster and
more powerful 2.5G and 3G networks,
combined with an increasing range
of mobile devices, means that enterprise
demand for mobile voice and data
solutions is rising sharply,"
said Umair Khan, Chairman and Co-Founder
of Clickmarks. "BT Cellnet
is a leader in this arena with a
reputation for innovation. This
agreement is a significant step
for Clickmarks, combining BT Cellnet's
technical and sales and marketing
expertise with Clickmarks' proven
software offering."
Bob Pisolkar, general manager,
Mobile Commerce, Information &
Data Services commented: "BT
Cellnet is committed to the development
and marketing of mobile data services.
We have chosen to work with Clickmarks
because its software helps us move
rapidly with new business opportunities,
making it possible for enterprises
to quickly exploit the advantages
of our new GSM, GPRS and UMTS networks."
