Bangkok--Jul 6--DTAC
DTAC announces its partnership with SEVEN, Nokia and O2 to launch DTAC PushMail — the first solution in Thailand that uses Push Technology to deliver email and calendar information from corporate email servers to end users’ mobile devices. The new service is expected to double GPRS usage among DTAC’s corporate clients.
DTAC’ Chief Customer Officer Sunti Medhavikul says that DTAC PushMail is the latest service from DTAC Mobile Business Solutions that pushes corporate emails with attachments to employees’ mobile phones or PDAs. The solution, which is as easy to use as SMS, is tailored to meet corporate segment’s emerging demands for convenient and cost-effective non-voice services. During the first five months of this year, DTAC has witnessed 60% increase of non-voice usage from corporate segment. The company reportedly secured 40% market shares of corporate segment last year.
DTAC PushMail solution enables corporate employees to have wireless access to corporate email while on the go. The solution also allows mobile users to view and adjust attachments of various formats while being able to keep their calendars updated over the air. Before transmission, the information will be condensed by half the size to ensure fast delivery and low mobile data charges. DTAC also applies an encryption technology, the same level of standard employed by the Government of the United States, to safeguard all data transferred.
“We believe that DTAC Pushmail solution will answer the needs of corporate clients who want to stay in touch with their email, which is one of today’s most important communication tools. With DTAC’s nationwide GPRS network, clients can rest assured that they will have convenient and prompt access to their corporate emails whenever and wherever they are. The service is also available over DTAC’s EDGE network in greater Bangkok, enabling the users to enjoy four times faster speed than GPRS. Through GPRS roaming agreements with 87 operators in 47 countries, customers can also access the service while traveling aboard.”
Today’s announcement follows on from a testing phase conducted jointly with a group of DTAC’s corporate clients like Kasikorn Bank, the Siam Cement Group and SIS Distribution.
