email-to-SMS Mobile SMS Text Messaging Service for IT Services and BPO Companies www.vfirst.com
Gurgaon, India — May 2005: ValueFirst AirMail – email-to-SMS mobile text messaging SMS service – helps enterprises receive SMS alerts to maintain mission critical servers by outsourced 24X7 maintenance teams.
The typical enterprises using ValueFirst AirMail services remotely manage high performance, servers in the US running critical processes. Due to the critical nature of tasks undertaken by such servers, time to know any system failure and recovery thereof is of the paramount importance.
Many such companies earlier relied on paging networks to communicate such system failures wherein a message was paged to the service engineer/system administrator in case of a system failure. A big limitation of paging solution was that once sent, the message did not carry any acknowledgement. In addition, there was no way the system could know that the SOS message has reached the intended system administrator/service engineer. Further, every service engineer had to be equipped with a paging device. The area coverage of the paging network also posed potential bottleneck within the scheme.
ValueFirst AirMail, a pioneering service, is designed to deliver SMS efficiently from servers to mobile phones anywhere in the world. ValueFirst AirMail overcomes all the limitations of paging networks and provided unmatched value to enterprises. It is developed to meet the mobile messaging needs of the enterprise segment.
“After carefully analysing the mobile messaging requirement of enterprising and model employed by IT services and BPO companies, ValueFirst developed an innovative solution called ValueFirst AirMail. ValueFirst AirMail is an email-to-SMS gateway service.
