TIBCO
Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) and Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM) today announced
an agreement that will enable wireless network operators to deliver highly
personalized, real-time, Internet-based information services to their wireless
subscribers. Phone.com will embed TIBCO's TIB®/ActiveEnterprise® e-business
infrastructure software into its MyPhone™ platform. By licensing TIB/ActiveEnterprise,
Phone.com will provide wireless operators with a proven, scalable, world class
framework for the delivery of news, stock quotes, sports scores, e-mail and
other services to their subscribers.
"As the consumer demand for wireless Internet services increases,
wireless operators must be able to provide customers with real-time, dependable
services," said Ben Linder, vice president of marketing for Phone.com.
"Our partnership with TIBCO will provide operators with an
industrial-strength, e-business infrastructure that can handle millions of
mobile users."
Utilizing the same TIBCO software infrastructure that powers the world's
leading Internet portals - such as Yahoo!, AltaVista, CBS Sportsline and Lycos -
Phone.com will now enable wireless operators to quickly develop and deploy
customized Internet portals, helping them strengthen subscriber loyalty through
their own Internet presence. The MyPhone framework will enable wireless
operators to offer a cohesive set of services that integrate their telephony
infrastructure with operator selected wireless-enabled Internet applications;
providing users with mobile, multi-device, voice or view (browser, SMS) access
to their personalized information.
"As Internet access via wireless devices becomes ubiquitous, wireless
network operators will need to deliver advanced personalized services that
differentiate their offerings from the crowded marketplace," said TIBCO
Software chairman and CEO Vivek Ranadivé. "Phone.com has long charted the
course for providing software and services that enable wireless access to
Internet-based information services. This relationship enables Phone.com to
deliver a new breed of wireless e-business offerings that will position it as a
leader in this arena well into the future."
