CDC Mobile to Develop Mobile Applications for Local Government Organizations in China
BEIJING--CDC Mobile, a leading provider of mobile value-added services ("MVAS") in China and a business unit of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), announced today it will develop mobile applications for the Ying Kou City Police Department and Jin Zhou City Education Department.
For the Ying Kou City Police Department, CDC Mobile will develop a SMS alert system to aid mobile subscribers when they cannot call the police. With the planned system, mobile subscribers can send an alert message that will sound the alarm at the police department, so police can respond to the emergency quickly. The system will also enable the police department to obtain valuable statistics and reports from the system database according to different classifications.
For the Jin Zhou City Education Department, CDC Mobile will develop a SMS test administration system. The system, using SMS services provided by CDC Mobile, will enable the city’s tens of thousands of students to receive important notifications, and obtain crucial information about their tests, among other things.
In addition to the projects for the Ying Kou City and Jin Zhou City governments, CDC Mobile has successfully completed several projects for other local governments, including SMS voting projects for the Liaoning provincial government, Chang Tu City government, and Diao Bing Shan City government.
“These projects demonstrate local governments’ trust and recognition of CDC Mobile as a technology leader and a responsible provider," said Xiaowei Chen, Ph.D., president of China.com Inc. "These projects also represent a new company strategy: to offer customized service applications for enterprises and government offices in China. We anticipate similar service projects will be supported through CDC’s Nanjing Development Center, which is planned to be opened during the summer of 2007. We are actively exploring more opportunities to develop service applications for our MVAS business. Leveraging our deep local knowledge and advanced Nanjing development center, we are confident that our mobile applications will create value for a wide variety of organizations in China."
