Semotus Solutions’ Wireless Messaging Application to be Deployed at Arizona’s Largest Real Estate Company
SAN JOSE, California, February 4, 2002 - Semotus Solutions, the Wireless Architects™ (AMEX: DLK), a leading provider of mobile enterprise applications, today announced that HipLinkXS, a market leading wireless messaging software solution, is to be deployed at Realty Executives, Arizona’s largest real estate company with eighteen branch offices throughout the state, to completely centralize its messaging system.
HipLinkXS will be installed on all of Realty Executive’s receptionists’ PCs, with a total of 50 users sending messages to 1300 receivers, providing the company with a true enterprise-wide automated messaging system. Additionally, Realty Executives has purchased customized enhancements to HipLinkXS that will allow advanced exporting and grouping/Departmental capabilities.
“When Realty Executives decided to implement a centralized messaging system, I compared at least 8 different products during an extensive testing process,” states Lance Ross, Director of Information Systems for Realty Executives. “The trial version of HipLinkXS allowed me to test the product’s full functionality, not just certain components. I decided on HipLinkXS because of its advanced technology – Internet capability, which will save me a considerable amount of time and administration costs, ability to send messages in all the current wireless protocols, and expert tech support people that are quick to respond to my questions.” Ross estimates that recouped costs will number in the thousands of dollars, including money spent on phone lines, alpha terminal leases, and monthly recurring costs of a 56K frame relay network that linked Realty Executives’ offices to the old paging system. Ross also predicts that implementation of HipLinkXS’ departmental grouping feature will save Realty Executives at least an hour per day in administration time.
“We are pleased Realty Executives has chosen HipLinkXS as its wireless messaging application in such a large enterprise deployment. This represents major inroads for HipLinkXS into the mobile sales force vertical, one of the most viable markets for our wireless technology,” says Steve McAllister, Semotus Solutions Group President.
According to META Group research, 75% of knowledge workers will be mobile at least 25% of the time, making it imperative to extend enterprise messaging and collaboration tools to them in a secure, reliable wireless environment.
Today, there are approximately 45 million mobile workers in the U.S.; many carry a cellular phone (there are 60 million wireless phones in use in the U.S.). Many carry pagers (there are 50 million pagers). And many carry a palmtop, handheld, or notebook PC (20 million).
