SEVEN, the global market leader in push email software, and
Miyowa, the European leader in mobile instant messaging and
entertainment for communities, today announced a partnership to
provide a unified messaging experience for mobile consumers. The
partnership provides immediate availability of their combined
offerings to customers in Europe and Asia.
Push Email and Mobile Instant Messaging Made Simple
The integrated messaging offering combines SEVEN's push email
solution, controlling more than 65 percent of the white-label push
email market, with Miyowa's mobile instant messaging-rich solution
widely used across Europe and Asia.
SEVEN's push email solution powers white-labeled offerings for
more than 100 operators and supports over 200 mobile phone models. The
solution provides simple one-click access to personal and work email
accounts, enabling access to email, contact information, and calendar
from a mobile phone. The solution accommodates multiple email
accounts, including popular email providers and corporate email
servers.
Miyowa has created and commercialized the first universal mobile
IM technology: MoveMessenger(TM). The MoveMessenger interface, which
is familiar to PC users, allows mobile phone users to access their
preferred IM and multimedia content as easily as they could on a PC.
MoveMessenger(TM) is handset independent and compatible with the
current standards (Jabber, Wireless Village and Windows Live
Messenger). With the support of popular IM brands (Windows Live
Messenger, Yahoo and Skyrock), Miyowa's white-labeled offering can be
implemented at nearly any operator along with accessible hotline
support for operators around the clock.
"Mobile instant messaging has taken its place in our everyday
messaging suite," said Ross Bott, CEO of SEVEN. "Miyowa's innovative
solution complements our vision to provide access to messaging for
everyone. We are very excited to partner with Miyowa and provide our
customers with an integrated messaging solution that will provide easy
access and a simple interface."
"Mobile email has entered a strong growth phase," said Pascal
Lorne, CEO of Miyowa. "We are pleased to be able to extend the
benefits of SEVEN's world renowned push email offering to our customer
base and provide a full messaging suite to mass market devices."
