Companies Have Quick New Option for Transmitting Web Content to Mobile Devices
With Mobile Site from Geoworks
ALAMEDA, Calif., May 2 /PRNewswire/ --
Geoworks Corporation (Nasdaq: GWRX), a pioneer in mobile data communications
services and technologies, today launched Mobile Site, a complement to
Geoworks' current Mobile ASP(TM) solution. Mobile Site allows any business to
mobilize its existing Web content for any mobile device affordably and
quickly. With Mobile Site, companies can deploy a mobile service to their
customers in approximately one week.
"In the race for customer market share, companies without a comprehensive
mobile solution are hard-pressed to maintain their competitive advantage,"
said Rhonda Jobe, Vice President of Marketing for Geoworks. "Mobile Site
offers businesses an economical way to reach their mobile customers in about a
week, before their competitors have a chance to respond."
With Mobile Site, Geoworks dynamically pulls data from any company's Web
site and programs it in a format suitable for transmission to WAP, HDML, SMS,
Palm and HTML mobile devices. Monthly pricing for Mobile Site includes site
hosting, monitoring and technical customer care, and ranges from $3,000 to
$15,000, based on number of unique Web visitors per month.
For companies that wish to explore a more robust and customizable mobile
solution for their customers, Geoworks also offers its full Mobile ASP
solution. Mobile ASP provides companies with the consultation, technology and
services necessary to extend their operations, communications and customer
service initiatives to the mobile medium and to achieve enhanced, immediate
business-to-consumer communications.
"Customers who require the speed of the Mobile Site solution can easily
begin working with Geoworks to develop a mobile solution based on their
existing Web site content," added Jobe. "Once businesses begin to realize a
return on their investment in Mobile Site, they can quickly upgrade to
Geoworks Mobile ASP solution to offer a more robust mobile communications
channel to their mobile customers."
