Oracle, Clickatell Target Mobile Messaging

September 20, 2005

Clickatell, a provider of global mobile messaging, today announced its teaming with Oracle to launch a mobile messaging Web service for the Oracle Application Server Wireless, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

�

The Web service allows businesses using Oracle Application Server Wireless to immediately connect to Clickatell’s global gateway to send their short message service (SMS) messages locally and around the world. The Clickatell gateway provides a large mobile messaging coverage network with connections to more than 550 mobile network operators in 180 countries.

�

Oracle Application Server Wireless allows businesses to easily extend existing enterprise applications to include messaging services to their customers and staff. The introduction of Clickatell’s Web service allows businesses to send near-real-time alerts and other messages regardless of the recipient’s location.

�

According to the announcement:�

“Connection to the Clickatell gateway is quick and easy via the default Web service and requires no additional software or drivers. And to gain the advantages of a global multi-network messaging network, businesses don’t need to individually negotiate with and connect to mobile operators. In addition, businesses don’t have to spend resources on getting the best performance from the connections, as Clickatell actively monitors the networks and takes care of load balancing and message routing. Finally Clickatell’s team of messaging experts and systems engineers is available via a 24x7x365 in-house [service center].”

Clickatell is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
