WebMessenger founders acquire Apptix
WebMessenger Inc. WebMessenger, Inc., an
enterprise mobile messaging software and services company, today
announced the acquisition of Apptix WebMessenger, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Apptix, Inc., by its original founders in a move
designed to enable WebMessenger to focus exclusively on its
longstanding strengths in mobile real-time enterprise communications
and mobile business productivity applications and solutions for
BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Palm mobile devices.
WebMessenger solutions help enterprises leverage their investments
in Microsoft LCS/OCS, IBM Lotus Sametime, and other enterprise
collaboration platforms by extending the productivity gains made on
the desktop out to mobile devices. Small businesses can also setup
and manage their own private IM communities, providing collaboration
tools to employees in fixed and mobile environments. WebMessenger’s
latest product, Message Alerts, continues to deliver a new paradigm
in managing mobile communications in order to mandate rapid
response, ensure corporate and regulatory policy compliance, and to
reclaim quality of life for the mobile worker.
As follow-on to the organizational transaction, WebMessenger also
announced the launch of its carrier-class presence and mobile
real-time communications platform that enables the hosted deployment
of large scale, geographically redundant wireless messaging
services. Through global carrier, solution OEM, and reseller
agreements, WebMessenger’s service offerings provide partners with
recurring revenue-generating, value-added mobile enterprise
solutions.
Val Babajov, founder and CEO of WebMessenger, said; "I am confident
that with renewed focus on our mobile software and services
business, the full potential of WebMessenger in the exploding mobile
business communications space can now be realized. The company has
an expert management team that will remain intact, an outstanding
engineering team, and a proven track record. I am looking forward to
rapidly expanding the business as we seek to fully capitalize on the
substantial basket of intellectual property created by our teams
over the years."
The WebMessenger business will continue to be led by existing
management: Val Babajov, Joe Naylor, and George Emilov. All
WebMessenger technology development and business operations will
continue without interruption.
