SMS for Business Corporate Text Messaging

Enhanced communications

Over the last decade, 'texting' has become THE social messaging medium of choice. However, SMS is now also being seen as indispensable for more business-like purposes; Staff and customers can be kept up-to-date with immediate verified delivery, back-end processes can give out automated notifications via text and vast amounts of money can be saved by putting in place a simple communications channel that integrates with every business application.

Improving existing communications infrastructure

Many companies simply want to extend their communications infrastructure to include the ability to send and/or receive SMS messages on their networked PCs.

The most frequently adopted deployment of this will be via an SMTP gateway connected to an existing email system. Alternatives are via the SMS application GUI or an SMS enabled Intranet/Extranet/Web page.

Clever Marketing

Most marketing companies and departments have realised that SMS messaging is an extremely powerful means of communication. Messages can be sent directly to the recipient, with near instant delivery and confirmed receipt. Invitations, competitions and news updates can all be sent to hundreds of recipients within minutes. 

SMS Application Enabling

With our business SMS solution, Text Message Server (TMS), developers and integrators can very easily “SMS enable” applications. If the application already supports email, it is simple to advantage of the SMTP gateway support and create an email which can then be converted and auto-routed via the SMS server. Alternatively TMS can be configured to poll a network location for new messages. In this scenario the application only needs to create a text file that contains the message(s) along with the mobile destination(s). TMS will pick-up the file, convert the entries to SMS messages and instantly transmit your messages. Where tighter application integration is required, developers can integrate the TMS COM Business Object components into their applications.
