Conducting
E-Transactions from Wireless Devices
IWAPI
Selects MShift as the Power Behind its Wireless Service
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2000 --
MShift, Inc., a leading provider of wireless development
tools for the corporate environment, today announced an
alliance with IWAPI, Inc., an application service provider
focused on offering wireless solutions that allow its clients
to deliver information to their customers through any Internet-enabled
device.
IWAPI,
and its sister corporations in the UK and Netherlands Antilles
(NV), will be using MShift's MobileShift™ Toolkit technology
to create mobile applications and solutions in various vertical
markets, including financial services, banking, insurance,
e-learning and entertainment, gaming (via the UK and NV
entities), and other Internet transaction oriented businesses,
as well as wireless extensions.
"IWAPI
is one of the most forward-thinking wireless ASPs in this
segment," said Scott Moeller, CEO of MShift. "They've recognized
the strength of the MShift development platform and how
our technology leverages their success. Now with this technology
IWAPI can enable businesses to securely execute transactions
and deliver content anywhere, any time, to any type of Internet-
enabled mobile device." IWAPI provides a Wireless Access
Protocol (WAP) overlay for any transaction-based Internet
site-which allows the site provider's customers to conduct
business from a cellular phone, Palm device, or other PDA.
"We
strongly felt that MShift offered us the best solution,"
noted Kevin Groeneweg of IWAPI. "There is a great deal of
synergy between MShift and IWAPI, and the MobileShift™
Toolkit presented us with an ideal solution for serving
our clients who need wireless content delivery services.
Additionally, the Toolkit gives us a rich development environment,
along with the ability to create a powerful, full-featured
application in a very short period of time."
MShift
is the first to provide a complete wireless solution, enabling
companies to quickly develop wireless applications for any
wireless device utilizing almost any wireless protocol.
MShift allows companies to translate Web data, as well as
extract data from diverse legacy systems, from any standard
protocol and in almost any language, for use on any type
of wireless device, from phones to pagers to PDAs, anywhere
in the world -- with no programming required.
About MShift
MShift, Inc., based in San Jose, California, offers the
first complete application development platform that allows
companies to quickly and easily create their own wireless
applications for either a server or a hosted (ASP) environment.
MShift's goal is to emerge as the leader in wireless development
tools for the corporate environment, by providing a complete
foundation, not merely a few discrete applications.
