 LOS ANGELES, CA – MAY 13th, 2008 – WebMessenger, a leader in enterprise mobile communications, today announced that more than 10,000 mobile professionals are using WebMessenger Message Alerts™ to manage email, SMS text and phone calls on their mobile devices. Launched in 2005, Message Alerts enables mobile professionals and IT staff to filter content to and from devices according to corporate and user-defined business rules and enables customized notifications and alerts based on these rules. Message Alerts can be used as a standalone enterprise solution, as well as to complement existing paging services such as AT&T Enterprise Paging, the combination of which ensures comprehensive group notification and messaging capabilities. Message Alerts recently was included in AT&T’s Certified Solutions Catalog for enterprise solutions. “Message Alerts is about improving control and flow of content on mobile devices,” said Val Babajov, CEO for WebMessenger. “Information overload and corporate compliance are driving the market for Message Alerts. Mobile professionals are inundated with email, text and phone messages. The ability to filter and distinguish the priority of received communications significantly improves business productivity and responsiveness. In addition, Message Alerts enables IT and compliance managers to apply rules regarding what data can be delivered from the mobile, ensuring greater control of sensitive corporate and client information.” “Continuous notification is a requirement for mobile health care professionals,” said Derek Batey, Mobile Technology Manager for Carilion Clinic. “Our commitment to providing the best possible service to patients demands that time-sensitive information is received immediately. At the same time, patient confidentiality and data protection are of foremost concern. Message Alerts ensures we are meeting our goals by helping to facilitate and control the flow of data between office and staff.” Message Alerts enables mobile professionals and group administrators to customize filtering and alerting rules that are automatically applied to email, SMS messages and phone calls. Customized alerts can include pop-up messages, vibrations and audio notifications, as well as downloadable ring tones and continuous alerts. Users can also control time of day and week when alerts are active, and automatically forward and delete messages. Alerts work immediately upon set-up, regardless of which application is in use on the device.
