PR Friend Press Releases

LONDON, ENGLAND. Leading mobile messaging and billing solutions provider txtNation has reported additional services to its existing platform in the face of global economic woes. Going from strength to strength despite the global crisis, txtNation has invested in new SMS connectivity in China and the USA and has launched the latest version of its award-winning software.

As a measure of the resilience of the mobile sector to keep innovating and exploiting opportunities in new markets, txtNation is bucking the economic trends by increasing its international reach as well as making substantial improvements to its established software line.

Michael Whelan, Director of txtNation, says “We’re positive that the mobile sector will continue to innovate despite worries about global slowdown and we intend to keep investing in better services. This is very much a long-term view of things. Our faith in mobile is as strong as ever and it is evident that our clients feel the same way. We have big names scheduled to launch with us over the next year.”

To coincide with the Olympic Games in Beijing, txtNation has made deals with China’s network operators to bring its clients prime access to every mobile user in the country. Though it keeps its international strategy close to its chest, txtNation promises even greater connectivity in future.

txtNation’s US office, established last year, has already moved to bigger premises and continues to recruit in its sales and technical departments. Despite the regulatory hurdles in the US, in contrast to more liberal communications policies in Europe, txtNation is steering a confident path and getting the attention of major corporations.

As part of its efforts to spread the word about its new services, txtNation will be making itself available at some of the sector’s biggest events, including the upcoming ad-tech in London and CTIA in San Francisco.

Already 75% of the global operators surveyed in the report said they would invest in Mobile Applications over the next 12 months.

“The response to our enterprise messaging solution has been fantastic and operators are increasingly looking to provide ready to use, services to their Enterprise and Government Customers. The Acision Innovation Network is a true indication of how Acision as thought leaders and drivers for innovation are actively co-developing and collaborating with Independent Software Vendors such as SOPRANO Design to deliver best-in-class messaging solutions, rapidly, to MNOs.
