Oracle & Clickatell Simplify Global Messaging
20 September 2005, Cape Town, South Africa – Clickatell, world leader in global messaging enablement, today announced that it has teamed with Oracle to launch a mobile messaging web service for the Oracle® Application Server Wireless, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The service was debuted at Oracle OpenWorld San Francisco today.
The web service allows businesses using Oracle Application Server Wireless to immediately connect to Clickatell’s global gateway to send their short message service (SMS) messages locally and around the world. The Clickatell gateway provides the largest mobile messaging coverage network in the world with connections to over 550 mobile network operators in 180 countries. It makes sending an SMS as simple as sending an email.
Oracle Application Server Wireless allows businesses to easily extend existing enterprise applications to include messaging services to their customers and staff. The introduction of Clickatell’s web service allows businesses to send alerts and other messages in near real-time regardless of the recipient’s location.
Connection to the Clickatell gateway is quick and easy via the default web service and requires no additional software or drivers. And to gain the advantages of a global multi-network messaging network, businesses don’t need to individually negotiate with and connect to mobile operators. In addition, businesses don’t have to spend resources on getting the best performance from the connections as Clickatell actively monitors the networks and takes care of load balancing and message routing. Finally Clickatell’s team of messaging experts and systems engineers is available via a 24 x 7 x 365 in-house service centre.
“With an estimated 1,000 billion SMS messages set to be sent this year, businesses can’t ignore the role that SMS plays in their corporate messaging strategy,” said Pieter de Villiers, Clickatell CEO. “Our relationship brings together two leaders: Oracle in middleware and databases, and Clickatell in global messaging; and means that any Oracle user can simply and effectively enable their business for SMS.”
Clickatell is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork and its mobile messaging web service will be demonstrated at Oracle OpenWorld this week.
