FREMONT, CALIFORNIA - October
4, 2002
Clickmarks, a provider of software
infrastructure and products for
wireless carriers and enterprises,
today announced a strategic alliance
enabling Unisys Corporation (NYSE:
UIS) to sell Clickmarks’ mobile
data solutions to Unisys customers
worldwide. The relationship will
give more than 2,000 Unisys salespeople
around the globe a wide variety
of products capable of meeting the
mobile information and pervasive
computing needs of Unisys’
financial services, transportation,
communications, publishing, commercial
and public sector clients.
The agreement permits Unisys to
promote and resell all Clickmarks
products, ranging from its customizable
“Habitat” information
portals to revenue-generating add-on
services for wireless carriers and
enterprises. Unisys plans to private-label
the products with a “Powered
by Clickmarks” co-brand, incorporate
them in its price book, and train
its entire sales force to sell the
solutions into its vertical markets.
Unisys already has several customers
in Latin America for Clickmarks
products, including an immediate
OEM contract to deploy Clickmarks’
voice solution to a major mobile
operator.
Clickmarks’ Enterprise Habitat™
for enterprise users and Mobile
Habitat™ portal infrastructure
for wireless carriers allow end
users to access their most frequently
needed information in a single location,
without having to switch applications
or navigate through non-essential
screens. Each Enterprise Habitat
can include key information from
enterprise applications, production
systems, databases and data warehouses,
as well as e-mail and content from
any Web page. For wireless carriers,
a Mobile Habitat can include any
content the carrier or the end user
desires. Information is automatically
updated to reflect changes in customer
history, inventory levels, stock
prices or other data built into
the habitat by the user.
Clickmarks also offers an M-Commerce
ToolkitTM that enables wireless
carriers to quickly and inexpensively
wireless-enable any merchant partner’s
e-commerce site; an add-on wireless
phone service called ReACT!TM that
allows users of Web-enabled phones
to store notes and send revenue-generating
Short Message Service (SMS) text
messages; a solution for wireless-enabling
an enterprise’s Web content
without programming; and other products.
“Unisys’ interest in
our products indicates the demand
in the marketplace for mobile voice
and data solutions, and this agreement
essentially gives us a global sales
force that can place our solutions
in major enterprises and organizations
around the world,” said Umair
Khan, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Clickmarks. “This
is clearly a milestone for Clickmarks
as well as an important step in
bringing the advanced capabilities
of wireless technology to large
numbers of users.”
