3M ESPE Brazil Adds Bite to Sales and Marketing Performance with the Antenna Mobility Platform™

2009-01-14T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Jan. 14, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that 3M ESPE Brazil has significantly improved its sales and marketing performance with the AMP SALES™ mobile CRM solution, powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP). A leading provider of dental care products, 3M ESPE Brazil deployed AMP SALES to mobilize its Oracle® CRM On Demand system on HTC TyTN II smartphones, giving dental sales reps the ability to access and update customer and opportunity data from the field. Fully deployed in May 2008, the division has more than doubled the number of new contacts in the system, improved overall data quality, enhanced customer-focused marketing campaigns and increased the number of opportunities closed and won by 34 percent.

“Real-time mobility is an essential part of our CRM strategy,” says Júlio C. Menegaldo, business process senior specialist at 3M Brazil and leader of this mobility project. “Antenna’s AMP SALES mobile solution has increased the overall effectiveness of the 3M ESPE Brazil sales force by enabling reps to proactively manage their time and accounts more easily, making them better prepared and more informed. João Rezende, 3M ESPE Brazil’s business manager, adds, “Without question, this has helped to differentiate our services, fine-tune our marketing campaigns and improve sales.”

In May 2008, 3M ESPE Brazil rolled out AMP SALES to its field sales reps, sales managers and support team. Its main objective was to capture accurate and timely customer information in the CRM system while simultaneously making it easier for the sales reps to perform their jobs and deliver results. With AMP SALES on their smartphones, sales reps can now:

Respond to customer inquiries faster and access up-to-the-minute information – anytime and anywhere
Plan and execute more targeted sales activities
Identify emerging opportunities and follow up on them more accurately
Maximize selling time and offer a more personalized service to customers
Monitor and manage the sales cycle from end to end

To help ensure a winning implementation, 3M ESPE Brazil took advantage of the Antenna Implementation Methodology (AIM), a compilation of Antenna’s accumulated best practices and practical knowledge, including storyboarding, application design and rollout. 3M ESPE Brazil also relied heavily upon its internal, Six Sigma and New System Implementation (NSI) methodologies for the planning and execution of the overall mobility project, which dovetailed with Antenna’s implementation process.

“Healthcare companies are under constant pressure to optimize sales force efficiency and effectiveness through better alignment with marketing and more meaningful interactions with customers and prospects,” said Anthony Lye, senior vice president at Oracle CRM. “With Oracle CRM On Demand on the Antenna Mobility Platform, 3M ESPE Brazil has shown that mobility can help strengthen its customer relationships and drive superior sales performance.”

“In this tight economy, 3M ESPE Brazil is proof positive of how mobility can extend the existing technology investments and compound the returns to the business,” said Jim Hemmer, CEO and president at Antenna Software. “We are very pleased with the impressive results this leading healthcare business has demonstrated leveraging Antenna’s mobile architecture and we congratulate its continued drive to differentiate itself through mobility.”

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – June 22, 2010 – Antenna, delivering real business mobility to the world's most demanding enterprises, today announced the launch of Mobile Masters™ , an independent online community for mobile-minded professionals to learn more about strategic enterprise mobility, discuss challenges, share triumphs and collaborate on best practices.

The Mobile Masters global community is the new meeting place for those mobile champions driving the world's most successful enterprise mobility strategies and changing the way people work with business applications and devices.

“We like to say that Mobile Masters is slightly ahead of the mobile times,” said Tony Rizzo, a 23-year industry veteran, the site's Mobile Master #1 and its Mobile Observatory blogger. “We're working hard to create a global community that focuses on the exchange of pragmatic, proven ideas, new technologies and imaginative strategies that work in today's mobile-centric world. Perhaps most importantly, we're here to push the envelope just a bit – not to the bleeding edge, but rather we aim to give you a true competitive edge through mobility.”

The community's features include:

Mobile Masters Blogs: Keep up with what's happening in the global mobile market with daily blogs from industry experts and guests. Topics include: mobile politics, M&A insights, mobile app development tips, gadgets and much more.

I don't know any other resource available that does just that.”

“Mobile Masters offers some great resources for our customers, but we want to encourage more people to join the conversation,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna and a featured blogger on the site. “The independent nature of the community allows us to step outside of our usual roles and let customers, partners and employees have a more personal voice. By showcasing effective mobile initiatives and providing invaluable information from mobile experts, we believe Mobile Masters will grow to be a thriving independent community for anyone looking at mobile technology as a way to transform their business.”

AMP 3.0 From Antenna Now Available

2010-06-28T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – June 28, 2010 – Antenna Software Inc., enabling business transformation through human-centered mobility, today announced the general availability of its next-generation enterprise mobility platform, AMP 3.0.

News Facts

AMP 3.0 is the culmination of two leading enterprise mobility platforms coming together: Antenna’s AMP 2.0 and Dexterra’s Concert, which was acquired by Antenna in June 2009.
AMP 3.0 is a standards-based mobility platform used to design, build, deploy and manage mobile applications that addresses the enterprise’s need for rapid application development; ease of system integration; wireless transaction management; seamless connectivity; industrial-grade security; and the centralized administration of users, devices, applications and systems across the entire AMP mobile deployment.
AMP 3.0 now supports applications for Google Android – in addition to RIM Blackberry, Apple iPhone, Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 – all built and managed in a single mobility platform.
AMP offers the flexibility to run on-demand, hosted by Antenna or by a third-party, or it can run on-premise behind the firewall. Regardless of the deployment choice, AMP seamlessly plugs into any IT environment.
In addition to serving the enterprise, AMP 3.0 was designed to allow Antenna’s many reseller and developer partners to quickly and effortlessly bring to market AMP-powered mobile applications to their own target markets.
AMP provides a robust portfolio of native and Web apps on tap for a variety of industries, including Manufacturing, CPG, Retail, Life Sciences, Telco and Financial Services, in addition to out-of-the-box, cross-industry productivity apps such as Expense Approval, Travel Approval, Surveyor, Scheduler, Reporting Dashboards and many more.
Beautifully designed, feature-rich mobile apps are no longer the province of consumer apps. AMP 3.0 allows companies to build powerful, enterprise-class apps that users love, the IT department can easily support and executive management trusts.

What Makes Antenna’s AMP Different?

End-to-end enterprise mobility. Unlike niche vendors, Antenna provides “the whole solution” for mobilizing an organization’s employees and its customers.
A happy user experience. AMP provides people with intelligently designed mobile apps that work both online and off and backed by an advanced enterprise-class mobile platform – sleek apps with a backbone for business.
“Switch in the cloud.” Antenna’s hosted service provides secure, reliable and guaranteed wireless message delivery across 400+ worldwide wireless networks – Antenna customers and partners can turn on AMP to turn on mobile.
Guaranteed performance and reliability. In throughput and load testing, AMP 3.0 processed upwards of 3K transactions per second on a single instance of the platform, demonstrating its ability to support transaction-intensive enterprise deployments.
Improves flexibility and ability to satisfy a variety of users. AMP supports the broadest range of mobile devices – Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Windows laptop, from the same integrated development environment (IDE), AMP Studio.
Lowers development costs and speeds development time. AMP Studio allows users to build-once and deploy-to-many – develop an application model once and automatically generate native applications across multiple device platforms.
Amps up the apps. AMP offers an extensive portfolio of packaged apps from Antenna and its partner community – certified by Antenna and powered by AMP – to satisfy and delight both employees and customers, enabling IT to pivot easily to satisfy business demands.

Executive Quotes

“Mobility is maturing as an essential enterprise capability and is transforming the way people work and businesses interact with customers, partners and employees. AMP 3.0 not only signifies the seamless product integration achieved one year after the Dexterra acquisition but, marks an important evolution in the way we view our mission as mobile innovators and mobile masters – to empower people to interact with, delight and satisfy customers through intelligently designed mobile applications.” – Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software, Inc.

“AMP 3.0 has allowed us to take advantage of new enterprise features such as support for Linux 64 Bit, Oracle Weblogic Messaging, numerous Application Framework enhancements, integration with Visual Studio 2008 and new organization interests with iPhone and Android, giving ThyssenKrupp the flexibility to build state-of-the-art mobile applications on the device that is right for the job. With AMP 3.0 we’re making our business more productive, more enjoyable and more profitable.” – John Rinaldi, system architect service management and mobility, ThyssenKrupp Elevator, and an AMP 3.0 Early Adopter.

“Heineken Ireland has long relied on Antenna’s solutions to execute our mobility strategy. From a robust field service solution that leveraged an existing Siebel CRM System and helped Draught Service Representatives provide more timely and efficient service for 8,000 hotels and pubs throughout Ireland, to our latest AMP 3.0 project that helps the merchandising team better track product placement and positioning in the off-trade retail sector, Antenna’s solutions make it easier for our employees to do their jobs. We were impressed by the look and feel of AMP 3.0. Migrating the merchandising application over to the new platform will provide us with applet-based, full-color graphical capabilities and a more immersive user interface, making navigation more logical. Once the merchandisers see the app they will all be asking for it on their BlackBerrys!”– Martin Gowran, IT Project Manager, Heineken Ireland, and an AMP 3.0 Early Adopter.

Antenna Refreshes Brand and “Deploys Happiness”

2010-07-26T00:00:00-04:00

Unifies Company after Strategic Acquisitions

Underpins Mission to Transform Business through Intelligently Designed Mobile Applications that Delight and Empower People

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – July 26, 2010 – Antenna, enabling business transformation through intelligently designed mobile applications, today unveiled its new brand identity, logo and Web site. The rebranding initiative comes after a string of strategic acquisitions by the company, including Vettro, Dexterra and Vaultus Mobile Technologies – and symbolizes a unified culture, technology and product portfolio and a renewed commitment to customers, partners and stakeholders.

Antenna’s new mission is to “Deploy Happiness,” reflecting a core belief that happy customers are a direct result of an organization that’s empowered to deliver quickly and with confidence. To achieve this, Antenna provides a comprehensive mobile application portfolio that both employees and customers actually like to use, on any device, anywhere.

“‘Deploy Happiness’ expresses what we’re really doing when we arm an organization with Antenna apps – whether employee- or consumer-facing,” said Jim Somers, chief marketing and strategy officer, Antenna. “Our apps come to life in the ‘last mile of mobility’ – the two feet between the device and the user, so people can get what they need without delay or fuss. In this way, mobile apps can actually change how people do what they do, which ultimately has the power to transform a business.”

Leveraging the company’s new brand, Antenna has fortified its portfolio of apps and human-centered design methodology, resulting in a diverse array of new pre-built, end-to-end mobile solutions for key industries, including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Telecommunications, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Retail. With its recent launch of AMP 3.0 – a scalable and flexible mobile enterprise applications platform – Antenna is accelerating its growth by enabling global partners to mobilize and deploy happiness to their own customers.

“We fundamentally believe that business apps should be as exciting and easy to use as consumer apps, but anyone who has experience with enterprise-class mobile apps understands the challenge in doing so,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna. “The value of Antenna’s mobile platform is that it makes support of multiple devices, security, integration, performance and management of a mobile deployment look easy – even though it’s not. When we say “deploy happiness” to employees and customers, CIOs and CTOs can be happy too. I am excited about the new Antenna brand and the untapped potential ahead for our customers and partners that embrace the true power of mobility.” Visit www.antennasoftware.com for more information.

Korea Telecom (KT) Launches Strategic Partnership with Antenna

2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00

KT Enterprise Mobility Platform (KEMP) powered by Antenna technology creates
end-to-end managed service proposition to exploit burgeoning Korean smartphone market

LONDON, UK – 20 September 2010 – Antenna, enabling business transformation through intelligently designed mobile applications, today announced that Korea Telecom (KT) has launched KEMP (KT Enterprise Mobility Platform) powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP). The leading mobile telecoms operator will use the KEMP mobile enterprise application platform to market and sell both native and Web-based mobile applications (apps) to Korean corporate and multi-national customers across all of the major vertical markets, including Financial Services, Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, and Automotives. Apps will be rolled out using a variety of models, from a fully hosted KT offering to a ‘switch in the cloud’ over which enterprises will be able to commission and provision their own apps to end users.

KEMP is based on AMP 3.0, a robust, highly scalable and versatile mobility platform for building, deploying and managing mobile enterprise applications, over which the operator can create and execute top-down mobility strategies on behalf of its enterprise customers. KT and its ecosystem of developer partners are building localised apps with a rich and graphical user interface via AMP’s integrated development environment (IDE). KEMP allows the same app to be propagated over disparate operating systems – be it Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile or Windows laptop – resulting in a faster time-to-market for KT and a more satisfying user experience for its customers.

KT will utilise AMP Gateway, AMP Enterprise Connect and AMP Management Center, integral features of AMP, to build-out the KEMP service. AMP Gateway governs all bi-directional communication, maintaining the secure, redundant connections between KT and the enterprise customer back-office systems, and providing store-and-forward technology to allow users to work in disconnected mode and seamlessly transmit data when connectivity is resumed. AMP Enterprise Connect, a platform-independent means of communicating with host systems, will mobilise enterprise data from existing back office systems and provide access to Groupware shared workspace solutions. AMP Management Center provides a central point of control from which KT can deploy and manage users, devices, applications and systems and carry out administrative and real-time reporting functions.

KEMP comprises a range of enterprise mobility packages, from a fully-hosted service, with apps supplied on-demand over a multi-tenanted or dedicated single server, to an on-premise offering with AMP located behind the corporate firewall, to even a remote cloud-based offering. The latter will operate as a ‘switch in the cloud’, allowing enterprises to virtually provision and control apps while enjoying the scalability and cost-savings of a hosted solution.

South Korea is one of the most saturated mobile markets in the world, with 45 million users in a population of 49 million. The smartphone market has been stimulated by the Apple iPhone, launched in November 2009 and exclusively licensed to KT, as well as the subsequent launch of the Nexus One. According to the KCC (Korea Communication Commission), smartphone penetration rates are expected to increase from 1.2% in June 2009 to 20% of all mobile phones (equivalent to 4 million units) by 2013. Demand for enterprise mobility services is expected to follow suit as smartphone devices proliferate.

As of the end of June 2010, KT had 840,000 iPhone users out of a total of 1.2 million smartphone customers and the operator is in the process of rolling out smartphones to 130 organisations, including public sector bodies such as the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation and large corporations such as the Kolon Group, Doosan Group, and Shinhan Bank. KT intends to commit 5.1 trillion won (4.3 billion dollars) to expanding its network to meet demand, to be invested in 3G, LTE, WiFi, WiBro, and cloud computing infrastructure over the next four years.

“We selected Antenna after assessing the strategic success and technical merits of a number of enterprise mobility solutions. Antenna won out because of its best-of-breed pedigree and advanced technology, specifically the platform’s ability to perform multiple integration with backend systems, its customer management capabilities and its versatility in enabling us to support multiple devices,” explains Young Hui Lee, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Customer Strategy, KT. “We can now capitalise upon the success of the iPhone and the predicted growth in smartphone penetration with KEMP over AMP, responding to demand with apps that can truly transform the enterprise.”

The partnership between KT and Antenna will enable enterprise customers to use KEMP to leverage their existing investments in back office systems and gain traction in their respective markets, increasing sales and productivity and building brand awareness. By automating and extending business processes, both their employees - and their customers - will enjoy a more responsive and immersive experience.

KT and Antenna will continue to cooperate and make their marketing and sales resources available to customers with combined sales advice and technical support.

“The explosive growth of smartphones in Korea has set the pace for widespread mobile application adoption that can now be supported by KT’s diverse go-to-market strategy for KEMP,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna. “Mobility presents a real opportunity for enterprises to engage with their employees, partners, suppliers and consumers with apps that change the way people live and work. Together, Antenna and KT can help advise these organisations on how best to harness and leverage the incredible power that is mobile.”

Antenna a Mainstay at Oracle OpenWorld 2010

2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00

Antenna Apps for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android on Display in
Oracle CRM On Demand Partner Pavilion

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Sept. 20, 2010 – Antenna Software, enabling business transformation through human-centered mobility, today announced its significant presence at Oracle OpenWorld 2010. With three speaking engagements on the agenda and its Oracle CRM On Demand Inner Circle member status, Antenna will share with conference attendees real-world examples and expert advice on how best to extend Oracle applications and bring the power of the enterprise to a variety of mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android.

Antenna sessions at Oracle OpenWorld 2010 include:

iPhone Gets Down to Business with Oracle CRM OnDemand (Sept. 21 at 12:30 p.m., Moscone West L3, Room 3007). This hour-long session looks at exciting mobile applications that bring the power of the enterprise to the Apple iPhone, helping extend existing Oracle CRM On Demand applications through secure Web applications hosted in a managed environment. It enables companies to deploy enterprise applications in a highly secure manner – even on mobile devices purchased by individuals. Antenna will be joined by AT&T to demonstrate the technology that gives Oracle customers a turnkey option to take advantage of the unique iPhone user experience that is easily governed and administered by the enterprise.
Mobile Bang: Amplify Business Value of Oracle Apps with High-Impact Mobile Apps (Sept. 21 at 2:00 p.m., Scene & Be Heard Theater, Moscone West, Booth 3401). This 20-minute session delivers a snapshot of how the value of a business application increases exponentially when mobilized across an organization. The session presented by Jim Somers, chief marketing and strategy officer at Antenna, will showcase the latest and greatest mobile applications being used by leading organizations to extend the value of Oracle and other applications to accelerate and automate business processes, radically improve sales and service, and create extreme value for customers.
Mobile Masters: Amplifying the Business Value of Oracle through Mobility (Sept. 23 at 1:30 p.m., Westin Market Street Hotel, Metropolitan II). Similar to the Mobile Bang session above, this hour-long session presented by Mr. Somers, digs deeper into ROI snapshots from a variety of industry case studies to illustrate the power mobile CRM solutions. The session will explain how today’s leading businesses have unique trigger points in their business: high-impact moments in the sales cycle and service chain when mobility can have an explosive impact on specific business processes.

As one of a select group of independent software vendors (ISVs) that have demonstrated significant value driven by proven customer success, traction with Oracle’s sales organization and synergy with the current and future Oracle CRM On Demand product direction, Antenna will exhibit its packaged and configurable mobile CRM apps at the Oracle CRM On Demand Partner Pavilion.

Spreading peace, love and ‘appiness throughout the conference, Antenna will showcase AMP Pharma, a mobile CRM solution designed for the unique needs of pharmaceutical sales professionals. Providing secure, intuitive, anywhere access to Oracle CRM systems, location-based services and collaborative technologies, AMP Pharma delivers product, physician and hospital information to automate and improve pharmaceutical business processes. With all the right information at their fingertips, pharmaceutical representatives get more insight into their accounts, are more efficient at managing their time and become more customer savvy. The CRM On Demand Partner Pavilion is located at Moscone South Hall, Booth 733, directly across from DEMOgrounds.

“Businesses today must leverage mobile technologies to create exciting applications that people want and enjoy using,” said Jim Somers, chief marketing and strategy officer at Antenna. “But what’s behind the app matters too – Can it run on any device platform? Does it integrate with Oracle and other enterprise systems and data easily? Is it responsive especially when sending a lot of data across the network? Does it guarantee transactions? Can you modify it easily? Is it secure? – Mobile apps that are backed by a robust platform such as AMP enable a business to go beyond one-off apps and execute an effective and repeatable mobile strategy that drives incremental growth.”

Antenna Recognized as Innovator in Mobile Enterprise Applications Report

2010-09-22T00:00:00-04:00

Leading analyst firm names Antenna as one to watch in “2010 Innovative Software Companies Under $100m”*

Jersey City, N.J. – Sept. 22, 2010 – Antenna, enabling business transformation through intelligently designed mobile applications, today announced it has been recognized as an innovator in its field by leading IT market research and advisory firm International Data Corporation (IDC). In the report “2010 Innovative Software Companies Under $100m” IDC credits Antenna with providing a new class of mobile enterprise software applications and platforms capable of taking advantage of emerging mobile hardware platforms and of providing access to complex enterprise systems and processes beyond email.

IDC sought to identify those companies who exemplified one or more of the following three key trends in the IT marketplace: Social Business Solutions, Enterprise Application Vendors Go-to-Market Strategies, and Mobile Enterprise Applications. Vendors were invited to apply and submit a customer case study and were judged by a team of analysts who drew up a shortlist of three to four entrants per category. Antenna was named as an industry innovator in the Mobile Enterprise Applications space for its complete, multi-device mobile solutions capable of meeting the challenges of today's hybrid IT environments, governance and security requirements and of providing a modern user experience across any number of different devices, networks, and configurations.

“Enterprises viewing mobility as a new channel for growth have to contend with increasing device Operating System (OS) fragmentation and a constantly changing technology landscape, ” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO, Antenna. “As the pace of change accelerates – and it will – it is vital that companies can turn to Antenna to help them stay ahead of the curve. We are continually breaking new ground with technologies such as HTML5, geo-spatial services, and social networking. In addition, we are focused on testing and supporting the plethora of device platforms out there so our customers and partners don’t have to. This commitment to innovation and drive to shape the future of enterprise mobility is precisely what this report recognizes – we are proud of that.”

Most of the solutions selected for innovation demonstrated business value within specific industries for which technology such as mobility brought significant benefits. In the report, IDC also predicts that enterprise adoption of these solutions will accelerate as businesses focus on customer retention, increased need for innovation, and the need to compete in an increasingly hyper-connected and online world. Furthermore, the report claims businesses will shift their focus from technology and process to people, who will become the new enterprise platform. This suggests that the mobile interface, which is already the new enterprise desktop, could become even more crucial in keeping the enterprise connected.

"Business has changed. The social web, cloud delivery models, and an increased use of mobile in the enterprise are all impacting businesses and the enterprise application software needed to facilitate business change," said Michael Fauscette, Group Vice President, Software Business Solutions, IDC. "Contributing to much needed innovation in enterprise software is a group of small companies with the vision and technology to help businesses deal more effectively with the new business environment."

IDC's "Innovative Companies Under $100M to Watch" reports are a qualitative evaluation of a set of vendors within a specific market – they are not a stack ranking nor do they represent an exhaustive evaluation of all companies in a segment or a comparative ranking of the companies in the report. IDC solicited entries from vendors of less than $100 million that exemplify specific key trends (selected by analysts) that are driving change in a specific software market. Vendors then submitted case studies that exemplified one of the trends used as the basis for the award. These case studies were evaluated individually and independently by related market analysts across several pre-determined criteria. The teams then met to review the scores. The case studies submitted for review had to demonstrate that the technology was available, able to be implemented and provided real-world benefits to the customer.

Antenna Announces Top Five Trends Shaping the Mobile Enterprise Market in 2011

2010-12-09T00:00:00-05:00

Mobility Drives Greater Strategic Business Growth and Brand Loyalty;
The Mobile Cloud Reigns

Jersey City, N.J. – Dec. 9, 2010 – Antenna, enabling business transformation through intelligently designed mobile applications, today unveiled its Top Five Trends for the mobile enterprise in 2011. These predictions are driven by Antenna’s twelve years of mobility expertise and experience leading mobility deployments for global companies, including Coca-Cola Enterprises, Hallmark, ING DIRECT and Xerox.

In the coming year, Antenna expects the mobile enterprise market to significantly expand, driven mostly by continued consumerization of the enterprise and the proliferation of smarter mobile devices. Businesses will leverage mobile and social technologies to help them provide immediate gratification to users, offer relevant information and dynamic content at the point of need, and deliver services and goods with deeper end user insight and a more personal touch – in other words, “deploy happiness” to a world with increasingly connected, passionate and engaged employees and customers.

The foundation that underpins and enables these advancements will be the mobile cloud, as IT organizations push to simplify the integration of mobile into existing technology infrastructure by choosing to consume mobile apps and services in a hosted, on-demand model, rather than building the mobile infrastructure and platform themselves and supporting it with costly resources.

Top Five Mobile Enterprise Market Trends for 2011

1. Mobile is the Mortar
Many industry analysts predict smartphone sales will eclipse PC sales by 2012. Tablets such as the iPad, those powered by Android, and soon RIM’s PlayBook are being adopted at unprecedented rates. Antenna has already seen a sharp uptake in enterprise tablet interest, and 2011 will prove to be the first year of significant tablet deployment, which will likely come at the expense of laptops. The mobile channel will become seamless, as enterprises integrate mobility with their ‘bricks and clicks’ operations. Mobility is not a separate channel but one that has the unique ability to drive new growth to Web and physical storefronts, augmenting growth, driving new revenues, and deepening customer relationships with the brand.

2. The Mobile Cloud Reigns
Cloud-based mobility (a set of hosted services, typically powered by a mobile enterprise application platform or MEAP) will allow businesses and service providers to offer a ‘switch in the cloud,’ enabling them to build, publish, manage and secure mobile apps and content and scale mobility projects much more rapidly and cost effectively. As mobile apps proliferate for employees, customers and partners, enterprises will look to deploy their own branded app stores for greater application management, control and protection of the brand.

3. Mobile Commerce Ka-Chings
In almost every industry, but especially in retail, mobile apps will enable mobile commerce to flourish. Businesses must get up close and personal with their users, understand their exact needs in real time and deliver incentives and information to get consumers into the stores and to drive them to make purchases on websites. Mobile apps that seamlessly integrate collaborative technologies, contextual and location-based information, and rich content will generate new commercial revenue streams. In addition, business intelligence, monitored and acted upon in real time, will become a key piece of the 2011landscape as part of mobile commerce growth.

4. Mobile Marketing with Meaning
Truly hundreds of thousands of mobile apps now occupy the “appmosphere,” and the number is growing at an exponential rate. In 2010, Antenna observed a key shift: Mobile users are no longer defined purely as workers, consumers, customers or partners – they are people. To thrive in the new era of mobile marketing – which will ramp up significantly in 2011, organizations must dive into the exciting discipline of intelligently interacting with mobile users and engaging with them in more meaningful ways that make their lives just a little bit easier.
Antenna delivered a number of major consumer-facing mobile apps in 2010 – among them a major banking app with ING DIRECT USA. “Today, Main Street is constantly on the move. To empower our customers we needed to provide on-the-go saving and investment services accessed on any mobile device, from anywhere,” said Rudy Wolfs, CIO of ING DIRECT USA. “We sought a mobile technology partner that could not only bring the high-quality, user-friendly products and services we offer through our Web channels to life on the mobile device, but did so in a fun, exciting and fresh way that will help customers save money and build wealth.”

5. Mobile Apps in More Flavors; Mobile Content and HTML5 on the Rise
Natively-built mobile apps will continue to grow, but app and content consumption via mobile Web browsers will also become a key component of a comprehensive enterprise mobility strategy. Pure Web or ‘thin client’ apps rely on a constant wireless connection to access content, in contrast to thick client native apps which retain data locally allowing the user to continue to work in the event of signal loss. ‘Rich apps’ that straddle this divide will become more common in 2011 as HTML5-enabled browsers become widely available. Utilizing the HTML5 specification, companies can offer the best of both worlds via HTML5 apps that combine the “write once, deploy to many” capabilities of Web-based apps with the offline data access and rich UI of the native app.
Enterprise mobile strategy in 2011 must incorporate the growth in HTML5 apps, multimedia content and mobile web usage to ensure a well-managed and secure environment exists for their deployment and use.

“As businesses enter the new decade and younger people continue to shape consumer and enterprise behavior, mobile is hands down where to invest for accelerated innovation, brand differentiation, and real shareholder value,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna. “It’s a hugely exciting time and Antenna is committed to delivering innovative solutions that help our customers get ahead of the latest technology, develop trendsetting apps that spread happiness, and deliver measurable value to all businesses.”

Antenna Closes Record Year

2011-01-12T00:00:00-05:00

Expansion to Consumer-Facing Market, Global Partnerships, Product Innovation and Ambitious Corporate Rebranding Helps Antenna Set the Stage for Continued Growth

AMP offers a variety of pre-built, “apps on tap” for key industries including financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, telecommunications, consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and retail, and can be deployed in the Antenna Mobile Cloud or on-premise behind the corporate firewall.
Global Expansion through Carrier Partner Relationships: AMP was designed to allow Antenna’s many reseller and developer partners to quickly and effortlessly bring to market AMP-powered mobile applications to their own target markets. In 2010, Korea Telecom joined Antenna’s list of global partners including AT&T, Oracle, Verizon Wireless, RIM, Microsoft, Vodafone and Motorola.
Community Support and Backing: In the spring of 2010, Antenna launched Mobile Masters™, an online community with the aim of bringing together customers, partners and mobile-minded professionals to discuss challenges, share triumphs and collaborate on best practices.

Now it’s about doing mobile right,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna. “By virtue of Antenna being on the cutting edge of mobile technology, our customers are too. Our tremendous success this past year is anchored in our ability to help our customers do mobile right – creating order out of chaos and implementing smart mobile solutions in the most effective and most strategic manner possible. We look forward to building on this success in 2011 to enable businesses to harness the full power of the mobile Internet and create real business transformation.”

Antenna Named Finalist for Most Innovative Mobile Technology by Andrew Seybold

2011-01-13T00:00:00-05:00

Recognized for Enterprise Mobility Without Compromise Enabled by the Antenna Mobility Platform

JERSEY CITY, NJ--(Marketwire - January 13, 2011) - Antenna, enabling business transformation through intelligently designed mobile applications, today announced it has been named a finalist for the Andrew Seybold, Inc. Annual Choice Award. Now in its 21st year, the award has consistently identified companies developing leading-edge technology, services and applications in the wireless industry.

Along with thousands of other innovative companies in the technology sector, Antenna attended this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and participated in the Andrew Seybold Wireless Dinner, which has attracted a who's who of industry executives during its history. Antenna was selected as a finalist for its portfolio of mobile applications enabled by the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), including mobile banking, mobile shopping, mobile field service, mobile pharma and mobile sales, to name just a few.

"The Annual Choice Awards celebrate the broadening influence of the mobile data industry by recognizing what it has taken to achieve this success, as well as the people and companies that have played major roles in the mobile data revolution," said Andrew Seybold, CEO and Principal Consultant, Andrew Seybold, Inc. "In every category, our finalists have demonstrated exceptional inventiveness and a mission to enable more customers to exploit wireless data and voice services in exciting ways as the industry expands."

Not all mobile apps are created equal. On the surface they may look the same, but some apps have deeper "root systems" than others; and that is one reason why Antenna's "deeply-rooted" apps were recognized. Deeply-rooted apps are ones that can stand up to change, whether driven by users' requirements, new technologies, or market forces. A robust mobility platform like AMP provides rich layers of functionality that are not found in standalone mobile apps, mobile development toolkits, or most internally built mobile solutions.

AMP addresses all the critical elements of a mobile solution. Many other platforms simply focus on the UI development for mobile apps and lack the in-depth integration, management, communications and security capabilities needed to round out the solution. Without this deep level of functionality, mobile apps will not gain the adoption of users and will ultimately cost IT organizations more time and resources to maintain and update.

AMP was built from the ground up to mobilize any data source, over any wireless network worldwide, and to any smartphone or tablet device. Utilizing the latest and best in standards-based and emerging technologies, AMP allows organizations to not only build an application once and deploy it across any combination of devices, but also centrally deploy, manage, and secure these apps across all devices.

"This year mobile and wireless is the plumb line that runs through many of the exciting new technologies we saw at CES," said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. "Among this wide field of visionary companies, we are honored to be recognized by Andrew Seybold and will continue to push the envelope on mobile and wireless innovation to directly benefit our enterprise customers and partners."

Antenna Software Acquires Mobile Internet Specialist Volantis

2011-02-07T00:00:00-05:00

Combined Company Provides Most Complete Solution for Mobile Web, Apps and Content on Any Wireless or Internet-Connected Device

JERSEY CITY, N.J., and GUILDFORD, U.K. – Feb. 7, 2011 N.J., and GUILDFORD, U.K. – Feb. 7, 2011 – Antenna Software, Inc., enabling business transformation and consumer engagement through intelligently designed mobile applications, today announced it has acquired mobile Internet software company Volantis Systems Ltd. The combination of Antenna's proven mobile apps technology with the ability now to harness the power of the mobile Internet, uniquely positions the company as a complete, end-to-end mobile solutions provider for enterprises and carriers. This strategic acquisition makes Antenna the market leader for mobility solutions that address the needs of all users across all Internet-connected mobile devices – from smartphones and tablets through to browser-enabled feature phones.

"According to a recent IDC forecast, in 2011 half of all web users are going to be mobile web users, and by 2014 we estimate they will have downloaded 76.9 billion apps," said Nick McQuire, IDC's Research Director for EMEA Enterprise Mobility. "It's clear that no company can afford to have just a mobile website strategy or just a mobile apps strategy. As such, the combined experience and capabilities of Antenna and Volantis make them well positioned to take advantage of the way in which the mobile Internet is developing on a global scale."

Operating under the Antenna brand, the combined company will continue to provide full support of Volantis' products to its current customers, prospects and partners through its existing teams in the Volantis offices in Guildford, Seattle, Krakow, Pune and Hong Kong – strengthening Antenna's global presence, particularly across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The addition of Volantis' complementary technology allows Antenna to immediately offer its customers a significantly broader range of mobile web solutions, including the underlying architecture for mobile commerce and enterprise app stores. This adds to Antenna's already robust on-demand (SaaS) Antenna Mobility Platform^TM (AMP) offering, which powers the company's suite of mobile business and consumer applications.

"This is truly a watershed moment for Antenna that takes us closer to our vision of being the mobile platform for the Global 1000," said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna. "With Volantis as part of the Antenna family, our customers can go to a single provider for all their mobility needs. Our mobile solutions not only manage the complex requirements of the workforce but also the mobile demands of millions of consumers who want to interact with a brand on the go across myriad devices. In a highly fragmented channel, Antenna creates order out of chaos and delivers a consistent and compelling mobile experience to all."

Volantis brings to Antenna a wealth of carrier and enterprise customers, including T-Mobile, Hutchinson 3G, Telenor, Garanti Bank and Reliance Capital. The Volantis customer portfolio deepens Antenna's already robust carrier portfolio and extends the company's vertical offerings across the financial services, retail, travel, transport, media and entertainment industry sectors.

"Volantis has spent the past decade developing a best-of-breed solution for the mobile Internet," said Mark Watson, former CEO and Co-Founder of Volantis. "Our goal has always been to make the mobile web as accessible as possible to enterprises and consumers, with the most robust technology to support the solution. Joining with Antenna will allow us to continue to invest in the development of our technology while co-innovating as part of the Antenna team to help drive success for the combined company going forward."

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Volantis was advised by Raymond James & Associates. Additional information about the acquisition can be found on Antenna's website at: http://www.antennasoftware.com/about-us/volantis

Antenna Wins GSMA Global Mobile Award for Best Mobile Enterprise Solution at Mobile World Congress

2011-02-17T00:00:00-05:00

The Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) Recognized for Excellence in Bringing
Intelligently Designed Apps to the Enterprise

Antenna was selected as a finalist from hundreds of entrants for its portfolio of mobile applications enabled by the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), before receiving the ultimate nod as winner for best mobile enterprise product or solution.

AMP is an enterprise-class mobile applications platform that accommodates both business to consumer (B2C) mobile applications and employee-facing applications for leading companies in a variety of industries including financial services, retail, consumer packaged goods, life sciences and manufacturing. AMP was built from the ground up to mobilize any data source, over any wireless network worldwide, and to any smartphone or tablet device. Utilizing the latest and best in standards-based and emerging technologies, AMP allows organizations to not only build an application once and deploy it across any combination of devices, but also centrally deploy, manage, and secure these apps across all devices.

“It has been a milestone year for Antenna marked by record-breaking growth, product innovation and industry accolades, culminating in this great honor,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO, Antenna. “The Global Mobile Award validates our technical offering and underscores Antenna’s business philosophy – that intelligently designed business apps make users happy and empower organizations to create more meaningful and more profitable relationships with their customers.

Antenna Expands Device Database

2011-02-17T00:00:00-05:00

The Latest in Tablet Devices, Including the Dell Streak 7, Viewsonic-ViewPad7 and
Samsung-SGH-I987, Now Included in Largest Industry Device Portfolio

BARCELONA, Spain – Feb. 17, 2011 – Antenna Software, enabling business transformation through compelling mobile experiences, today announced that it has passed the milestone of 8,000 handsets with its mobile device information library, part of the Volantis Framework platform for content delivery. With this comprehensive device database, Antenna, which acquired Volantis in February 2011, offers industry leading, patented technology to render applications and websites across the most devices and support the most device capability attributes – at more than 850 attributes per device – to offer the best possible user experience on any Internet enabled device.

As this year’s Mobile World Congress draws to a close, the Dell Streak 7, Samsung Infuse 4G and Nexus-S are just three of the latest devices which are now supported by the database, ensuring that, in spite of the rapid developments in smartphones in 2010, Antenna and Volantis customers’ mobile offerings are supported on the very latest in devices.

The level of form fragmentation across mobile devices is an industry pain point which makes it difficult for mobile content developers to provide a consistent user experience. With the arrival of the tablet computer, and industry competitors attempting to stay ahead by introducing ever more advanced smartphones, the number of possible permutations of operating systems and browser standards used to access mobile content runs to thousands.

The Antenna Volantis Framework, with its extensive mobile device information library, allows operators and enterprises to offer a compelling mobile web experience regardless of the device used, allowing developers to target the high-end functions of the latest smartphones and tablets as well as maintaining best service for legacy feature phones.

This complements Antenna’s mobile application offerings, powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), which run across multiple device platforms, including Apple iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile, optimizing user satisfaction on any device, anywhere.

"The mobile industry is no longer confined to just the mobile phone—it now encompasses all manner of wireless devices, including smartphones and the latest tablet computers,” commented Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna Software. “Mobile Internet use is a daily habit for many people; this latest milestone will ensure that operators and content developers are able to offer the highest level of functionality while also future proofing against the industry’s constant advances to provide the best experience on whatever screen the consumer uses.”

New Research Shows Mobile Internet Usage a Daily Habit

2011-02-24T00:00:00-05:00

2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report from Antenna Shows Mobile Internet Adoption on the Rise but Poor User Experience a Deterrent

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Feb. 22, 2011– One in five Americans use the mobile Internet every day, according to the 2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report from Antenna Software. The second annual survey conducted by YouGov measured the attitudes, preferences and behaviors of adult consumers in the United States and United Kingdom, finding U.S. mobile Internet usage up 17 percent from the 2010 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report. Nearly half of respondents said they would use the mobile Internet each day to stay in touch with friends through instant messaging (21 percent in the UK and 22 percent in the US) and social networking (27 percent in both countries).

While mobile Internet usage is steadily on the rise, driven by the demand and popularity of social media and networking tools, many feature-phone users cite poor user experience as a barrier to further adoption. Of the representative sample of 4,375 consumers polled, almost half of Americans (44 percent) failed to use the mobile Internet, despite having access to it on their mobile phone.

Antenna, which acquired Volantis, a mobile internet specialist, in February 2011 commissioned YouGov to poll the views of a representative sample of 2,296 consumers, aged 18+ in the UK and 2,079 in the US.

British Mobile Internet Users Overtake US Trailblazers
The 2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report found British consumers are more active on the mobile Internet than their transatlantic counterparts. One in three British (34 percent) and American (33 percent) consumers are now accessing the Internet using their mobile phone at least once a week, up from 27 and 28 percent respectively in 2010.

“The mobile Internet has become an important part of daily life for consumers on both sides of the Atlantic,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “The desire for convenience and advancements in technology mean more people than ever before can enjoy good mobile Internet experiences regardless of their handset. However, as results of the 2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report indicate, there’s still much improvement to be made by operators and enterprises.”

Consumers Demand Better Mobile Internet Experience
Nearly half of U.S. consumers (44 percent) with mobile Internet access are more likely to use it if the experience offered was similar to using the Internet on their personal computer. With comparable speed, functionality and appearance of websites, the 2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report concludes that there is significant opportunity for operators and enterprises to improve the mobile experience on the wide range of handset models used by the public.

According to the 2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report, 27 percent of American and 27 percent of British consumers are discouraged from using the mobile Internet by websites that don’t display properly on their mobile screens. A further 28 percent of U.S. and 32 percent of British consumers cite difficulty in navigating websites on a mobile device as a reason for not accessing the mobile Internet.

“Operators and enterprises must do more to ensure a compelling and rewarding Internet and application experience is had by consumers on all mobile devices – not just smartphones,” adds Hemmer. “Today’s consumer expects a rich, high-quality Internet experience whether surfing on their PC or on their mobile device. Operators and enterprises must ensure their mobile Internet websites and applications can be rendered optimally across the broadest range of handsets – or risk lost revenue opportunities and impaired customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.”

Despite the promotion of flat-rate data packages, cost also remains a barrier to greater mobile Internet usage. The Mobile Internet Attitudes Report found 33 percent of American and 39 percent of British consumers still believe that using their mobile phone to access the Internet is too expensive.

“While operators have made great strides to promote flat-rate data, there is a lingering perception in both markets that accessing the Internet through a mobile phone is expensive,” adds Hemmer. “In many cases, unlimited mobile data packages can be substantially cheaper than monthly fixed line broadband costs demonstrating we still have a way to go in educating consumers.”

Research methodology
The Mobile Internet Attitudes Report 2011 was commissioned by Antenna and conducted by YouGov, polling a nationally representative sample of 2,296 UK and 2,079 US adults aged 18+ in January 2011. All figures unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc.

Antenna Launches Volt for iPhone and Android

2011-03-01T00:00:00-05:00

Allows Enterprises to Publish HTML5 Mobile Web Apps Directly to Personal or Corporate-Issued Devices with Total Control

Jersey City, N.J. – March 1, 2011 – Antenna Software, Inc., enabling business transformation through compelling mobile experiences, today announced the general availability of Volt^TM, a patent-pending technology that addresses the security and management needs of the enterprise when deploying work-related mobile web apps on personal or corporate-issued iPhone and Android devices.

Powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), Volt is a native application that governs multiple web applications built on standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript). Once activated on a user’s device, Volt allows a variety of enterprise-approved mobile apps and content to be securely published and managed through it. Users click on Volt to access the apps they need for work, then toggle out of Volt to do other tasks – it’s as simple as that.

Global 1000 enterprises and wireless carriers throughout the world can bypass the traditional app stores by using Volt to distribute and manage branded web apps directly to their users. With Volt, businesses can easily provision, deploy and control enterprise web applications for work in a highly-secure, reliable and manageable fashion. What’s more, users can run multiple web applications simultaneously and switch instantly between active web applications for greater productivity.

“With more than 300 million smartphone users worldwide, many are asking, ‘why can’t I find, purchase, and use my apps for work the same way I do my personal apps?’” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna. “Volt answers this call by enabling companies to take control of how they deliver mobile experiences to their users – even on personally-owned devices. This allows companies to change the game: Not only can they embrace the latest web technologies to build compelling apps, but they can also provide a cohesive and organized structure for provisioning and decommissioning those apps to employees and workgroups – it’s less risk to the brand and much more satisfying to the user.”

Key features and benefits of the Volt product include:

Ease of Development: Adhering to AMP’s “build once, deploy to many” development paradigm, developers can use HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to build Volt apps that can run across all Volt client devices. Volt also offers native device integration, such as camera, GPS, barcode scanning and document viewing for feature-rich functionality. In addition to pre-built Antenna Volt apps, companies and third-party app developers can build apps on Volt to be approved by either Antenna or the enterprise for publishing through Volt.
Direct App Publishing: Once the Volt client is downloaded onto the user's device, it becomes the channel by which Volt apps – created as web apps – are published to the device. This enables companies to have total control over the branding and approval of apps published via Volt.
Centralized Management: All Volt apps are provisioned, published and managed via the AMP Management Center, allowing IT to centrally administer all users, their device profiles and application access via a single, unified console.
Role-Based Access: Volt apps are published and consumed based on authorized role-based access. Only apps that are enterprise approved for a user or user group can be downloaded to that user’s device through Volt, enabling administrators to better manage application access.
Enterprise-Grade Security: Volt apps leverage the security features found in an industrial-strength platform like AMP including authentication, authorization, encrypted over-the-air transactions, security profiles and role-based app updates.
Rich Analytics: Volt apps communicate through the AMP Gateway, which monitors and captures all transactions and messages for auditing and analysis. Data can also be exported to any business intelligence system for further insight into usage behavior, allowing IT to determine which apps should get more resources allocated to them, or conversely, which apps should be shelved.

Volt is now available on Apple iPhone and Google Android platforms and can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes App Store and Android Market. Once installed on a device, Volt connects to AMP and will automatically download the mobile business apps that are assigned to the mobile user by IT or the administrator.

In addition to building custom web apps to run on Volt, all of Antenna’s native mobile applications for employees are available as Volt apps (AMP Sales, AMP Service, AMP Merchandiser, AMP Pharma Sales, etc.). Demo versions of Volt apps--including AMP Scheduler, AMP Expense Approval, AMP Travel Approval --are available for review by registering at www.antennasoftware.com/resource-center/volt.

Speaking on the occasion, Reji Baby, V.P. Global Solutions Engineering; MD Antenna India said, “Keeping the employee retention rate high is a true testimony of our employee satisfaction in India. In addition, working with exciting mobile technologies in one of the fast growing industries in the world, a wide career path, significant financial incentives and our fun-filled and open working environment gives our employees numerous opportunities to grow with the company.”

In 2010, Antenna reported a record year, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 52 percent in revenues. Antenna’s recent acquisition of Volantis Systems adds diversity to the company’s product portfolio with the addition of mobile web capabilities.

Antenna Positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for MEAP

2011-05-11T00:00:00-04:00

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – May 11, 2011 – Antenna Software, enabling business transformation through compelling mobile experiences, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms (MEAP) report by Michael J. King and William Clark. [i]

According to Gartner, “The MEAP market already has overlap with capabilities seen in MCAP (Mobile Consumer Application Platform) offerings, and MEAP vendors are now offering both.” Gartner also states that “By 2014, the MEAP, mobile consumer application and Web development approaches will converge into a new generation of multichannel development tools.”

“When the mobile market finally tipped, it also flipped,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna. “The mobile user experience is the new norm – and this has enormous potential to not only extend enterprise applications, but also to transform the business by delivering a consistent and compelling experience for everyone – from employees in the mobile workforce to millions of consumers on myriad devices.”

“We believe our positioning in the ‘Visionaries’ quadrant shows that Antenna has rightly anticipated the impact of consumerization on the enterprise and has made the necessary moves to meet the needs of our customers and partners. With a converged approach that spans B2E and B2C mobile offerings and supports the latest and best in standards-based and emerging technologies and devices, Antenna is well positioned to continue to lead this market. We are committed to simplifying and managing the inherent complexities of mobility, creating apps that people love to use, and delivering excellence in all that we do.”

The Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) enables enterprises to build, manage, publish and consume native apps and mobile Web content on any mobile device — from smartphones and tablets to low-end cell phones. Utilizing standards-based technologies, AMP allows organizations to not only build mobile apps or websites once and deploy across any combination of devices, but also centrally deploy, manage, and secure their mobile deployment.

Antenna’s board, an elite group of talented professionals, has been a strategic driver for the company and a big part of its past success. The addition of Albutt and Haroian’s significant industry knowledge and hands-on operational experience further strengthens the board’s ability to guide the next phase of Antenna’s growth.

Graham Albutt brings invaluable corporate insights to Antenna’s board as an accomplished business leader with a record of delivering financial and operational results in complex, global business environments.

Additionally, Albutt has driven four of Reuter’s largest acquisitions and consequent integrations in the Americas. He has a deep knowledge of the software marketplace, especially with regard to the complex needs of the financial services industry.

“It’s been reported that the global app market will exceed $38 billion by 2015 and there’s no denying that the popularity of smartphone devices and the use of mobile apps at work and for play has transformed how people engage with each other, with brands and within organizations,” said Graham Albutt. “Antenna has established itself as a clear, market leader in enterprise mobility and I’m thrilled to help the company continue to gain market traction and raise its global profile as a board member.”

One in four mobile internet users using mobile banking

2011-06-30T00:00:00-04:00

Consumer demand for retail mobile banking is clear, but concerns around security and functionality are holding uptake back, according to the latest research from YouGov and Antenna

Guildford, UK and Jersey City, NJ, 30 JUNE 2011 - 25 per cent of UK mobile internet users now utilise mobile banking services, according to online consumer research released today by mobile web and app specialists Antenna. With the number of mobile-internet enabled handsets continuing to grow worldwide, banks that address the demand for both mobile apps and mobile web usage will have the sharpest competitive edge in the battle to attract new customers.

A separate study* revealed that only four out of 14 high street banks surveyed offer a dedicated mobile banking app. This may explain why the YouGov research found that three times as many UK mobile internet users use mobile websites most frequently for mobile banking (15%) as opposed to apps (5%) with 6 per cent preferring to use both equally. This contrasts with the US, where banking apps and mobile websites are used almost equally by mobile internet users (13% and 16% respectively), with 8 per cent using them the same amount andthe majority of banks offering dedicated mobile banking apps.

Interestingly, the Antenna research found that the demographic driving the widespread adoption of mobile banking in the UK is young people, with 30per cent of 18-24 year old and 33 per cent of 25-34 year old mobile internet users utilising mobile banking to manage their money on the go -compared to 13 per cent of over 55s.

Antenna ‘s research also assessed the barriers to take-up, and found that 69 per cent of UK mobile internet users have security concerns about mobile banking services saying they would stop using the service if they felt their data was not secure. These concerns could account for the unpopularity of third-party banking apps, with only one per cent of respondents in the US, and less than one per cent of those polled in the UK admitting to preferring to use a banking app not provided by their own bank. Nonetheless, both findings suggest that banks who want their customers to use mobile banking must use the brand trust they ‘ve already built up with consumers if they want to continue to ‘own the channel ‘.

The report also found that the functions UK mobile internet users are already using, or would most like mobile banking solutions to offer, are checking their account balance (46%), viewing their transaction history (31%), and transferring money between their own accounts (27%). 25 per cent of respondents use, or would like to use, mobile banking to pay their bills, and 20 per cent to transfer money to third parties.

The report also suggests that the American market is currently more mature than its UK counterpart, with 40 per cent of US mobile internet users having used mobile banking compared to 25 per cent of UK mobile internet users. Other notable contrasts saw a much higher proportion of US consumers already using (or wishing to use) mobile banking services to find local branches or ATMs, with 36 per cent in the States, compared to 21 per cent in the UK.

”Mobile banking has now taken hold,” commented Jim Hemmer, CEO of Antenna. “The public clearly want to fit their banking chores around their lives and not their lives around their banking chores, and using their mobiles, they can. Banks need to acknowledge this by implementing holistic mobile banking strategies as soon as possible, and that means providing easy-to-use mobile web and apps across all device platforms.”

”Security remains the big issue for consumers, and that ‘s probably why they ‘re mostly using mobile banking services for basic tasks like checking their balances and finding ATMs. Banks need to start offering full mobile banking services which allow their customers to make deposits, balance transfers and the like as soon as possible, because it ‘s those banks which build up mobile trust in the short-term who are going to gain the most when m-commerce becomes commonplace.”

Research methodology
UK:
All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2,387 adults, 1,028 of whom access the internet on their mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet computer. Fieldwork was undertaken between 27th and 31st May 2011. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all UK adults (aged 18+).

*The survey of UK mobile banking offerings looked at HSBC, First Direct, RBS, Natwest, Barclays, Nationwide, Lloyds TSB, Santander, Halifax, Standard Chartered, Bank of Scotland, Metro Bank, Northern Rock, and Cheltenham and Gloucester. The survey only looked for dedicated apps and mobile websites and did not take into account text alert services or downloadable web icons with quick access to mobile banking sites, which some of the above did offer. The results are based on banks ‘ mobile offerings as of 17^th June.

US:
All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2,015 adults, 906 of whom access the internet on their mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet computer. Fieldwork was undertaken between 27th and 31st May 2011. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all US adults (aged 18+).

*An additional study of US mobile banking offerings looked at Bank of America Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Company, Citigroup, Wells Fargo & Company, HSBC North America Inc., U.S. Bancorp (USB), PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC), Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Capital One Financial Corp. And TD Bank US Holding Company. The survey only looked for native applications and mobile websites based on the banks ‘ mobile offerings as of June 17, 2011.

Research Shows 40 Percent of US Consumers with Mobile Phones, Smartphones and Tablets Embrace Mobile Banking

2011-06-30T00:00:00-04:00

New Survey from YouGov and Antenna Identifies Major Growth Opportunity for Retail Banks to Increase Adoption and Brand Loyalty by Addressing Functionality and Security

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - June 30, 2011 - A recent online survey of more than 2,000 respondents by YouGov Plc. and Antenna Software, Inc., showed that more than one in three US consumers with mobile phones, smartphones and tablets currently use mobile banking[1]. This presents both a major growth opportunity for retail banks to increase their customer base, as well as a chance for organizations with current mobile offerings to up their game with more advanced and “sticky” mobile apps for greater customer loyalty and competitive advantage.

Not surprisingly, the most significant barrier to widespread adoption of mobile banking are consumers' security anxieties around sharing financial information through a mobile device, according to the poll, which showed that 66 percent of mobile internet users would not bank regularly via a mobile app or mobile website due to these concerns. Only one percent of those surveyed most often use a third-party mobile banking app that was not provided directly by their financial institution. Both responses indicate that consumer trust in the brand is critical. Financial institutions must educate consumers on the security of their services, adequately brand their offerings and communicate trust to capitalize on the growing mobile banking trend.

Overcoming security concerns and providing robust functionality, however, are well within reach for organizations currently developing and deploying a mobile banking strategy. Survey results showed that:

Within the offerings already available in the mobile banking market, nearly half (42%) of mobile internet users who have used mobile banking in the past said their most recent experience was positive and received the functionality they needed.
In fact, 55 percent of mobile internet users have or would like to check their balance on their mobile device, while 43 percent have used or would like to view transaction history and 36 percent use or would like to locate the nearest branch or ATM, suggesting that convenience should lay a foundation for offerings that leverage the features and built-in sensors of smartphones and tablets to simplify consumers' lives.

US consumers' advanced adoption of mobile banking offerings and specific functionality demonstrate the region's relatively mature marketplace. A quick study of the top 10 US retail banks indicate that 7 out of 10 have both a mobile optimized website and a native mobile banking app available to consumers. Additionally, results of the YouGov Plc. Survey with Antenna, which also polled UK mobile internet users, found that the American market is ahead of the use of mobile banking services by 15 percent overall with 25 percent of UK mobile internet users using mobile banking. In both regions, however, consumers indicated that mobile banking offerings needed to demonstrate advanced security and practical functionality.

“While financial institutions around the world are reaching a growing number of consumers through current offerings, there is a significant opportunity for banks to develop and deploy a holistic mobile banking strategy to meet the needs of their entire customer base,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna. “Building on the existing security and basic functionality available in today's mobile apps and websites, organizations can establish a competitive advantage in the future by offering a full complement of mobile banking services that foster trust with consumers as they increasingly embrace m-commerce.”

Research methodology

Research Report Finds the Mobile Channel Unites Marketing

2011-08-01T00:00:00-04:00

76 Percent of Companies Surveyed Indicated that Marketing and IT have a Strategic Alliance to Manage Marketing Initiatives within the Mobile Channel

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Aug. 1, 2011 - Findings from the recently published Aberdeen Group research report “Opposites Attract: The Mobile Channel Unites Marketing and IT,” reveal how the rise of the mobile channel has made bedfellows out of two unlikely groups: marketing and IT. In the report, Aberdeen analysts Andrew Borg and Omer Minkara conclude that leading organizations have marketing and IT departments working in close collaboration to create a customer-driven business with mobility acting as the glue that unites these two distinct and important groups. In fact, the report reveals that an overwhelming 76 percent of companies utilizing mobile apps indicated that marketing and IT have a strategic alliance to manage marketing initiatives within the mobile channel.

Organizations today are under increasing pressure to grow revenue and market share in the face of heightened global competition and a challenging economic climate. According to Aberdeen Group and its survey of more than 220 end-user organizations for its Metric-Driven Mobile Marketing Study (scheduled for publication in August 2011), high customer adoption rates of mobile devices, combined with the constant need to increase customer loyalty by improving customer satisfaction are driving organizations to invest in implementing marketing campaigns and programs through the mobile channel.

The “Opposites Attract” Research Brief examines the key factors driving marketing and IT roles within organizations to invest in mobile application and website development, the collaborative relationship between marketing and IT in developing these applications, as well as the business processes required to drive success. Highlights include a case study on a large retail bank that offers greater convenience and superior levels of customer service through its mobile banking service.

As the “Opposites Attract” Research Brief indicates, two primary goals have emerged as the driving investment in the mobile channel: increasing top-line revenue and improving customer retention. Aberdeen research shows that while both goals are top-of-mind for marketers and IT roles, increasing top-line revenue is a greater focus point for marketers. IT respondents on the other hand focus comparably more on improving customer retention.

50 percent of marketers selected increasing top-line revenue as a key driver for investment in the mobile channel compared to 41 percent of IT respondents.
45 percent of IT respondents selected customer retention as a key driver for investment in the mobile channel compared to 39 percent of marketers.

“Mobile apps are a brand manager’s dream come true,” said Andrew Borg, analyst at the Aberdeen Group. “The findings of this Research Brief shed light on how marketing and IT can work together more effectively to embrace the mobile channel to enhance customer satisfaction and drive real business growth, and most importantly, how to define mutual objectives and metrics for program success.”

Best-in-class businesses are turning to vendors like Antenna that offer an end-to-end mobile infrastructure to support both native apps and the mobile Internet - mobile apps to drive engagement and customer loyalty and mobile web capabilities to facilitate commerce and convenience. Antenna built the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) from the ground up to uniquely address both B2E and B2C requirements while providing full support for the widest range of mobile devices, platforms and networks.

Antenna Expands European Operations

2011-08-02T00:00:00-04:00

New State-of-the-Art Facility to Serve as European Hub for R&D, Customer Support and Delivery

JERSEY CITY, NJ and KRAKOW, Poland - Aug. 2, 2011 - Antenna Software, Inc., helping enterprises to build, manage and publish mobile apps and websites that transform business, today announced it has opened a new state-of-the-art office facility in Krakow, Poland located in Bonarka City Center. The mobile web and app specialist has upgraded to the new space to accommodate growth as it builds its engineering and operational base to meet increasing demand from global customers and partners. From its central location, the new Antenna Krakow office is well situated to give the company access to highly skilled software engineering resources for product development, quality assurance, professional services and customer support to serve Antenna's global operations and allow the company to scale more rapidly.

Antenna's Krakow Technology Center was founded in late 2005, by the UK-based mobile web software company Volantis Systems, acquired by Antenna in January 2011. At its inception, the facility had five employees, but steadily added resources and capabilities as mobile web usage grew, fuelled by the adoption of Apple iPhone and Google Android smartphones and the consumer appetite for mobile content. In July 2011, Antenna hired its 100th employee and plans to continue to expand its Krakow team significantly over the next 12-18 months as demand for its services increases.

In addition to Krakow, Antenna's key technology centers are located in Jersey City, Boston, Toronto and Bangalore. All provide mobile and domain expertise for Antenna's enterprise customers in the financial services, retail, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, transportation and life sciences industries. Currently, Antenna's global partners include AT&T, Cognizant, Korea Telecom, Verizon Business and Verizon Wireless among numerous others. With strong growth of mobile payments and mobile apps predicted in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), forging new strategic relationships and go-to-market plans with local mobile operators and system integrators out of the Krakow office will be critical to meet expected consumer demand.

The Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) offers a complete, end-to-end mobility solution for both enterprises and mobile operators, uniquely addressing both B2E and B2C requirements and providing full support for the widest range of mobile devices, platforms and networks. With AMP, businesses can build, publish and manage their native apps and mobile web content on any device, anywhere in the world. Leading companies the world over are deploying mobile apps and mobile web content from Antenna for a better way to manage their teams, engage with their customers, elevate their brand and transform their business.

Industry pundits and analysts have taken notice of Antenna's product innovation and global growth strategy. The company was awarded the prestigious "Best Mobile Enterprise Solution" at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, and was also positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant of both the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms (MEAP) and the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Consumer Application Platforms (MCAP) report. Most recently, Antenna was selected as an AlwaysOn Global 250 winner for outstanding mobile technology innovation.

"We are excited to celebrate the opening of our new Krakow office today with Antenna president and CEO Jim Hemmer," shares Mark Watson, Antenna EVP & GM EMEA. "It is a special day for our Polish employees to be recognized for contributions to Antenna's long-term global growth strategy and customer and partner success."

"I am very pleased to be here in Krakow on this auspicious day," said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna. "The local Antenna team has worked very hard to develop a state-of-the-art engineering center that contributes to AMP platform design and engineering excellence and supports customers around the world. I am proud of their achievements and look forward to our continued success as Antenna expands into new global markets.

He will also share insights on how these same practices apply to citizen-facing mobile applications, ultimately making the case for a holistic mobile strategy to mobilize all systems and people in the organization - giving rise to a unified mGovernment that is more personable, responsive and effective.

Antenna AMPs Up ConsafeMobility for European Expansion

2011-08-23T00:00:00-04:00

Logistics specialists launch strategic partnership with Antenna Software, begin migration to scalable and flexible Antenna Mobility Platform

JERSEY CITY, NJ and GUILDFORD, UK - Aug. 23, 2011 - Antenna Software, helping enterprises to build, manage, and publish mobile apps and websites that transform business, and Consafe Logistics, through its business area ConsafeMobility, have today announced the launch of a strategic partnership which will see the Scandinavian company begin to migrate their mobility customers to Antenna's AMP platform ahead of pushing into new markets and geographies.

Consafe Logistics, which has traditionally specialized in logistics and warehouse management solutions for companies including Nestle, Carlsberg and Unilever, has invested in AMP to secure ConsafeMobility's solutions for the future. The platform, which will allow the company to create, deploy and manage mobile apps for its enterprise customers, is highly scalable and versatile, and supports a wide range of operating systems including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Phone 7 for phones and tablets.

AMP enables apps to be built once and propagated rapidly across multiple and disparate operating systems, resulting in faster time-to-market for ConsafeMobility and its customers. AMP also offers multiple integration points into back-end systems, allowing customers to leverage existing technology investments. It is ConsafeMobility's intention to gradually migrate its existing clients to the Antenna platform, while offering the host of additional business-to-mobility services provided by AMP to support its European expansion.

The partnership will give ConsafeMobility a broader portfolio to better address the needs of a wide variety of organizations that are looking to improve productivity and customer service by mobilizing their workforces. By automating and extending business processes, organizations - their employees and customers - can enjoy a more responsive and immersive experience.

Mikael Holmqvist, ConsafeMobility's Business Area Director, commented: "The mobile logistics space is becoming increasingly competitive; we see investing in AMP as an enhancement of our portfolio and market offering which will ensure our business for the future. AMP allows us to manage our customers' apps in a highly secure and reliable environment that is configurable to customer needs. We are very excited about the opportunity that AMP brings to our current customer base and to those that are new to workforce mobility solutions."

Ulf Jansson, CEO Consafe Logistics Group, added; "As a second step, we also see a great potential to use Antenna's AMP for complementary mobile applications within other business areas of Consafe Logistics."

Mark Watson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, EMEA commented: "Many companies want to develop mobile solutions in house, despite the cost and complexity, because they think it's the only way they can retain full control over their business. AMP, through ConsafeMobility, brings businesses the level of control and customization they want, saves them from the financial and technical burdens of building and maintaining their own mobile solutions, and gives them the support and flexibility they need to deliver best-in-class solutions quickly. Together, Antenna and ConsafeMobility can help advise these organizations on how best to harness and leverage the incredible power that is mobile."

By digitizing its extensive and dynamic product catalog on the PowerSource app for iPad, Eaton’s goal is to empower reps with always current and engaging content, such as 3-D parts modeling, promotional and training videos, and pricing configurations to help them sell smarter – and get a competitive edge. Built for content consumption, the app is different from a website in that it takes advantage of the iPad’s unique strengths including easy portability, portrait and landscape viewing modes, and multi-paned touch navigation. User adoption is not an issue compared to other PC or Web solutions due to the iPad’s popularity and cachet.

“The PowerSource iPad app is testament to Eaton’s commitment to its customers and the spirit of innovation which drives us to create great products and showcase those products in the most educational and informative way possible,” said Eric Stager, Product Manager, Web and Mobile, Industrial Sector, Eaton Corporation. “The app is also one of the first to be part of Apple’s new Volume Purchasing Program (VPP) for B2B apps. We are excited to break new ground in the mobile space and demonstrate the value that the mobile channel can deliver not just for consumer apps, but for connecting employees and partners, too.”

The app makes it easier to keep the sales force and distributors updated on current product inventories in a centralized, cost effective and efficient manner. It is automatically updated weekly and provides product information, technical specifications, competitor cross references, comprehensive catalog access, lead times, model code builders, hose assembly builders, Eaton Sales Resource and Distributor Locator and pricing.

The app is designed for use anytime, anywhere. New data and files are pushed to the device weekly from the Antenna cloud and stored so that each rep can quickly access the most current information – users with internet access can directly connect to the cloud and those working offline can access the stored version of data, making it fully functional to mobile workers at all times. Some features such as email, GPS integration, and app synching require a connection (Wi-Fi or 3G).

“Eaton has shown how a manufacturing company transforms the selling process with a well-designed mobile app,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO, Antenna. “We are thrilled to see the standard of excellence they are setting with this application as leaders in the industry and are proud to be a part of its success.”

“Antenna has established itself as a market leader in enterprise mobility, helping the Global 1000 transform their business through mobile technology and stay ahead of the curve over the long-term,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “This recognition from Red Herring exemplifies the strides we are making and the value the Antenna Mobility Platform continues to deliver to our customers.”

In an increasingly connected and multiple-device world, the result is a better way to manage employee teams, engage with customers, elevate the brand and transform their business.

Red Herring’s annual Top 100 has become a mark of distinction for identifying companies and entrepreneurs that are shaping the technology landscape and changing the way people live and work. The finalists for the Top 100 Global Award are determined by the Red Herring editorial team as a showcase of the most innovative technologies and business models originating from over 1000 companies from over 40 nations.

“Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-economic environments,” stated Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “2011 has confirmed the sector's vibrant activity and its resilience to widespread economic problems. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are attempting to jump ahead of the competition and aspire to make a difference. Breakthroughs obsolete each other faster than ever before. Antenna Software has performed exceptionally in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global Finalists.

Antenna Reaches 9,000 Device Milestone for Mobile Web Optimization

2011-12-14T00:00:00-05:00

Company’s unique, dynamic Device Database ensures a consistent brand image and optimal user experience across virtually all device types

Jersey City, NJ, DECEMBER 14, 2011 – Antenna Software, Inc., helping enterprises to build, manage and publish mobile apps and websites that transform business, today announced that it has grown its device database—which it uses to optimize the rendering of mobile websites—to include more than 9,000 mobile devices. In a market where new devices are being introduced at a dizzying pace, Antenna’s innovative technology constantly searches the web, identifies new device types, and adds the latest device profiles to its dynamic database to ensure each customer’s mobile website is optimized and rendered in a consistent, branded fashion.

Antenna’s Device Database is a component of Antenna’s AMP Web Server, which is a central part of the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), the company’s core offering. The patented architecture of the AMP Web Server allows it to react to a mobile device user’s visit by querying the device database, identifying the type of device and rendering the site optimally, according to more than 1,000 attributes such as screen size, resolution, browser type, and myriad other features associated with each device in the database. This ensures that the end user has the best possible mobile experience, regardless of whether they’re surfing on the latest high-end smartphone or tablet or on an older feature-phone. A study conducted by Antenna unveiled that more than a quarter of consumers surveyed globally indicated that some mobile website designs did not work properly on their mobile devices, impeding their use of web on the go.

The way people access information, communicate with customers and colleagues and do business has shifted dramatically, and mobile web is a crucial component of that. In just a few short years, Internet-connected devices have flooded the market and have shifted the need for mobile websites from a nice-to-have to a competitive necessity for organizations of all types. Research firm Gartner, Inc. has predicted that by 2013, more people in the world will access the Internet on a mobile device than on a PC. As such, AMP’s suite of cross-platform development and management tools are a boon to companies deploying mobile web solutions at a time in which operating system and browser version fragmentation are major developer pain-points.

Mark Watson, Executive Vice President of Technology and Engineering at Antenna, commented: “By continually innovating and improving our process of device discovery, we solve the problem of device and platform fragmentation, enabling organizations to leverage the mobile web to reach more consumers, more effectively. Every user of every device will enjoy a consistently great experience because the AMP Web Server optimizes the information for each screen automatically. And very importantly, it is future proofed so our customers and partners can support the constant array of new devices that come to market in all regions of the globe with very little effort.”

”Choosing the best out of the previous two years was by no means a small feat,”; said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,100 potential companies to 100 winners.

U.S. and UK Businesses to Double Mobile Project Spend in Next 18 Months

2012-02-21T00:00:00-05:00

Companies bet big on mobile as Antenna brings unified mobile cloud offering to market

JERSEY CITY, NJ - February 21, 2012 - U.S. and UK businesses are embracing mobile at an unprecedented rate, with average current investments of $422K rising to $926K in the next year and a half, and a third of companies planning to launch four or more mobile projects in the next 12-18 months. But frustrations around the cost, complexity, management and timescale of those projects are growing too, according to the Mobile Business Forecast 2012 released today by Antenna Software, which commissioned Vanson Bourne to poll 1,000 CIOs and business unit leaders in the U.S. and UK.

The Mobile Business Forecast 2012 reveals that UK and U.S. companies are working with an average of three separate mobile solutions vendors simultaneously, highlighting the general inability of suppliers to address multiple aspects of the mobile value chain. The report shows that companies undertaking concurrent development are likely to see their mobile business strategies become increasingly fragmented, hampered by redundant technologies, and difficult to manage.

The release of the Mobile Business Forecast 2012 coincides with the launch of AMPchroma^TM, Antenna’s cloud-based, mobile business suite, which allows companies to design, build, deploy and manage every type of mobile asset, including native and hybrid web-apps, mobile websites, and corporate app stores, from a single web-based console. The first mobile management solution of its kind that addresses the full mobile lifecycle, AMPchroma keeps the costs of 'going mobile' to a minimum by eliminating infrastructure investments and the redundant operating costs associated with disparate mobile projects. The suite has been designed to support a holistic approach to mobile management - helping CIOs unify their mobile business strategies, allowing IT departments to oversee and secure the channel, and empower individual departments to achieve their own mobile ambitions.

Jim Hemmer, CEO of Antenna, commented: “Mobile devices are now so ubiquitous that a business without a mobile strategy is a business without a strategy. Investment in mobile is growing at a meteoric rate, and that’s partly due to companies thinking beyond the app and beyond the idea that mobile is only critical when it comes to consumer engagement. Of course, the challenges and strains of joining the mobile revolution are still too much for many businesses to handle. Only when companies can quickly, securely and cost-effectively mobilize themselves whenever, wherever, and however they need to, will we see them unlocking the true potential of the mobile channel.”

"Mobile technology has changed the way that people interact, and the implications for business are equally profound,” said Eugene Signorini, Senior Vice President of Research for Yankee Group. “The question today is how companies seize the opportunities afforded to them by mobility while still maintaining control and visibility. Today an organization must consider the entire mobile experience and approach enterprise mobility in a holistic, unified fashion to satisfy both employees and customers and drive new revenues and growth.”

Frustrations for CIOs and business unit leaders

The Mobile Business Forecast 2012 showed that 45 percent of IT and business decision makers in the UK and US are dissatisfied with the speed at which the mobile projects they commission get to market. In addition, 42 percent of respondents attested to being frequently dissatisfied with the eventual cost of the solutions deployed. The report revealed that, on average, projects commissioned by U.S. and UK companies take over six months to come to fruition, with one in 10 taking a year or more to complete.

"Most businesses need to move fast and effectively if they're going to compete in today's tough economic climate,” continued Hemmer, “but until now, that need has simply not been met in the mobile space. AMPchroma allows technical and non-technical users alike to deploy any kind of mobile project quickly, and because the whole suite is hosted in the cloud, it can be done in an extremely collaborative, flexible and cost-effective manner, increasing productivity, visibility, and engagement in the process.”

AMPchroma: Unifies and Simplifies Mobile Business

AMPchroma is built upon the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), Antenna's flagship mobile business platform. AMPchroma brings color and simplicity to a complex mobile world, along with a wealth of new capabilities and functionality, including:

Centralized management: AMPchroma's single web-based dashboard empowers users to run, test and manage all mobile business initiatives, from applications, websites, content and devices, giving full visibility and control over the entire mobile strategy.
Business systems integration: AMPchroma is powered by Antenna's industrial strength enterprise gateway, the company's highly scalable messaging and transactional engine that ensures proper data compression, management, integrity and synchronization required for today's 'run the business' mobile apps and websites.
Flexible, scalable and agile: AMPchroma can be used holistically for a cross-enterprise mobile strategy, or tactically by a business user for targeted mobile apps and websites - the platform is fully extensible growing and scaling with you, only as you need it.
Future-proofed: AMPchroma keeps enterprises ahead of today's rapid device innovation with its patented server technology that supports more than 10,000 devices, from low-end feature phones to high-end smartphones and tablets.

Leading Analyst Firm Positions Antenna Software in the Leaders Quadrant for Magic Quadrant on Mobile Application Development Platforms

2012-05-02T00:00:00-04:00

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - May 2, 2012 - Antenna Software Inc., helping enterprises to build, manage and publish mobile apps and websites that transform business, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms (MADP). [i]

Antenna's positioning by Gartner reflects its completeness of vision and ability to execute. Antenna also considers it a testament to its ability to deliver successful mobile solutions, as well as the company's continued growth in global markets and the strength of its core mobile application development platform. Earlier this year Antenna launched AMPchroma^TM, a new cloud-based suite of mobile application development tools. With AMPchroma, companies can design, build, deploy, and manage every type of mobile asset, including native and hybrid web-apps, mobile websites, and corporate app stores, from a single web-based console.

According to Gartner, "In previous years, enterprises have tended to evaluate mobile application development platforms (MADPs) based solely on the needs of their current mobile projects. However, increasingly enterprises look for a single MADP that can address most, if not all, of their future projects across all scenarios. As a result this Magic Quadrant is composed of vendor platforms that can be used to meet requirements for B2C, B2B and/or B2E projects."

AMPchroma is the first mobile management suite of its kind that addresses the full mobile lifecycle and keeps the costs of 'going mobile' to a minimum by eliminating infrastructure investments and the redundant operating costs associated with disparate mobile projects. The suite has been designed to support a holistic approach to mobile management- helping CIOs unify their mobile business strategies, allowing IT departments to oversee and secure the channel, and empowering individual departments to achieve their own mobile ambitions.

"The mobile application marketplace is clearly one of the most dynamic and exciting areas in business today, with new entrants, new technologies, and new business models being introduced virtually on a daily basis. Given this rapid pace of change, we feel we have a certain responsibility to customers and partners alike to stay in front of the innovation curve and keep them current as the market evolves," said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna Software. "We are extremely pleased that Gartner has recognized Antenna as a leader in MADP and we believe this is a testament to our strong vision for how this market has evolved, but equally as important, our ability to execute at a level that distinguishes us as a market leader."

Xerox Named Finalist for Wireless Leadership Awards

2010-04-28T00:00:00-04:00

ORLANDO, Fla. and JERSEY CITY, N.J. – April 28, 2010 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced its customer, Xerox Corporation, the leading global enterprise for business process and document management, has been selected as a Wireless Leadership Award finalist in the Business Impact category, at WES 2010. The Wireless Leadership Awards recognize BlackBerry customers for innovation and outstanding results in wireless deployments.

Xerox developed Wireless Integration for Next Generation Systems (WINGS) for BlackBerry® smartphones, which leverages the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) to enable its Customer Service Engineers (CSEs) to work better and faster. Xerox was recognized for its accomplishments using BlackBerry smartphones to improve productivity and the jobs of its 5,500 CSEs. With this solution, Xerox CSEs are able to dispatch and close service calls, locate equipment parts in inventory, research customer machine history and update their availability status – all from their BlackBerry smartphones. In addition to these key functions, Xerox has taken its mobile initiative to the next level by implementing three other ground-breaking mobile technologies and applications:

Maintenance Assistant: This patent-pending Machine-to-Machine application leverages BlackBerry Push Services to automatically send data from Xerox’s printing systems to a CSE’s BlackBerry smartphone the moment a service call is placed. CSEs can use this diagnostic information when contacting customers to pinpoint problems and determine whether they can be mediated via phone – saving time and money on unnecessary trips to customer locations.
Remote Solve: When CSEs resolve problems over the phone, they use the Remote Solve solution through Antenna’s AMP Management Center to capture the complete call debrief information in Xerox’s call center knowledgebase – simplifying the repair process for CSEs and customers who encounter similar problems in the future.
Dynamic Meter: Meter-read instructions for all Xerox products are centrally managed through the AMP Management Center to provide CSEs with accurate billing meter instructions during customer visits using their BlackBerry smartphones.

“We believe the AMP mobile platform and BlackBerry smartphones are an integral part of Xerox’s real-time enterprise strategy, helping to drive productivity, lower costs and enhance communications throughout the organization,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “We’re excited for such a valued customer to be recognized for its strides in leveraging transformative mobile technology to continue pushing the limits to benefit its customers and giving its engineers the power to deliver excellent service.”

Every year, the Wireless Leadership Awards are presented to BlackBerry customers who have deployed innovative solutions and are using wireless technology to make big improvements – whether it's to help their customers, drive social networking for their employees or to impact the bottom line.

Xerox and Antenna Software are participating in two conference sessions at WES 2010, “Tips and Tricks for Large Field Service Deployments,” and “Mobilizing Enterprise Applications: Keys to Success,” respectively.

Antenna Software Acquires Vaultus

2010-04-08T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – April 8, 2010 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, announced today the acquisition of Vaultus Mobile Technologies, the leading provider of consumer-facing enterprise mobile applications. Effective immediately, Vaultus will begin operation as a wholly owned subsidiary of Antenna Software, doing business as Antenna Vaultus Inc.

Through the acquisition, Antenna will significantly accelerate its ability to offer consumer-facing enterprise applications, with zero product integration required. Because the companies’ respective mobile platforms offer fully complementary technologies, Antenna and its new subsidiary will continue growing global business with absolutely no interruptions to customers or partners.

Antenna will set a new standard for delivering enterprise-class mobility that fully embraces the power of User Interface (UI)-rich mobile applications on any device. Enterprises will be able to empower the entire top-to-bottom workforce with highly functional role-based mobile applications, and engage enterprise consumers to interact with their brands to deliver new avenues of strategic top-line revenue growth. Antenna is now fully positioned as the only global mobile technology vendor that provides consumer-friendly enterprise application usability and enterprise-class functionality on any mobile device – today.

Founded in 2000 and born out of MIT, Vaultus is based in Boston and will maintain its location after the acquisition. The company brings to Antenna a broad range of Global 2000 customers that include, among many others, E*TRADE Financial, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, ING, State Street, Prudential, and Genzyme. Vaultus’ customer portfolio expands Antenna’s already large base of more than 200 enterprise customers, and strategically aligns Antenna with the financial services and retail vertical markets, both of which are driving major growth in mobile use.

“CIOs and CMOs are now clear in their mandate to engage consumers through innovative new mobile applications,” said Gene Signorini, vice president of Yankee Group’s Anywhere Enterprise research group. “At the same time enterprise employees are now demanding that mobile applications for business deliver the same types of UI-rich experiences that they are accustomed to getting from their personal life. With the acquisition of Vaultus, Antenna has positioned itself to tap directly into these mobile market dynamics and to provide leadership on how organizations can get this new level of enterprise mobility done.”

Vaultus’ financial services customers have deployed mobile applications to millions of users, resulting in significant revenue growth. Their real-time consumer-facing applications deliver new ways to create affinity and customer loyalty, and create limitless up-sell opportunities. Likewise, Antenna’s state-of-the-art AMP 3.0 mobile platform delivers the same types of UI-rich applications for enterprises to deploy to their workforces, partners, and business customers for greater competitive advantage.

“Mobile’s time has clearly arrived,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna Software. “The addition of Vaultus’ team and technology to the Antenna family brings together all of the necessary elements that enterprises require to drive mobility to their workforces and to millions of their consumers as well.”

David Birnbach, Vaultus’ former CEO, said, “With Antenna’s strong financial and market position behind us, we will now be able to remain laser-focused on delivering sophisticated mobile solutions. We are excited to co-innovate as part of the Antenna team and to help drive success for the combined company going forward.”

Antenna’s Next-Generation Mobility Platform Available to Early-Adopter Customers and Partners

2010-04-06T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – April 6, 2010 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced an exclusive early-adopter program of its next-generation enterprise mobility platform, AMP 3.0.

The new platform lets organizations embrace the most exciting mobile devices in the market today, from Android to the iPhone, and enables businesses to take user interface-rich mobile applications to the next level by reaching beyond the enterprise workforce to their partner and customer communities. In doing so, AMP 3.0 addresses the enterprise’s need for centralized management, industrial strength security, unsurpassed performance and, very importantly, well-designed, intuitive and collaborative applications that ensure high user adoption.

“High-ranking priorities for the enterprise include compelling and UI-rich applications optimized for the mobile environment,” said Stephen Drake, program vice president for mobility and telecom research at IDC. “As such, it is vital that organizations embrace transformative technologies to position themselves favorably to drive collaboration, productivity and innovation through the use of mobile applications.”

AMP 3.0 is designed from the ground up to enable organizations to gain a competitive advantage by using mobility to transform the way people work and businesses run. The culmination of two leading enterprise mobility platforms coming together, AMP 3.0 is comprised of Antenna’s AMP 2.0 and Dexterra’s Concert, which was acquired by Antenna in June 2009. After identifying the core strengths of each offering, the company melded the two and added innovative new features, creating a best-in-class enterprise mobility platform for companies to build, deploy and manage any application to any device to any user.

“Our organization is eager to take advantage of new features and functionality in AMP 3.0, especially around the enhancements we can leverage with our current Windows Mobile application,” said John Rinaldi, system architect service management and mobility, ThyssenKrupp Elevator, one of the world’s leading elevator companies and Antenna customer. “Additionally AMP 3.0 will allow us to take advantage of new and emerging devices, such as iPhone and Android, giving ThyssenKrupp the flexibility to build state-of-the-art mobile applications on the device that is right for the job.”

In addition to addressing mobility requirements of the enterprise, AMP 3.0 is designed to enable Antenna’s many reseller and OEM partners to quickly bring to market AMP-powered mobile applications to their own target markets. According to Vance Blakely, president and CEO of Softechnologies Corporation: “As an early adopter of AMP 3.0, our developers can ramp up quickly on the latest AMP technology to leverage all of its new innovations for our customers. The Antenna Partner Program has afforded us immeasurable value in partner enablement, training and market development.”

AMP 3.0 is a comprehensive software platform built on proven, standards-based technology for building, deploying and managing mobile enterprise applications. Both enterprise customers and Antenna partners have the flexibility to implement AMP as software-as-a-service (SaaS) or on-premise. A significantly enhanced AMP Studio, the build-once-deploy-to-many mobile application development environment, is a key part of the AMP 3.0 release. New and enhanced capabilities of AMP Studio include:

Added support for developing native Google Android applications – in addition to RIM Blackberry, Apple iPhone, Windows Mobile, Symbian S60 – all in a single development environment;
More intuitive and richly designed user interface (UI) with graphical drag and drop application modeling and automatic screen generation;
Flexibility to take generated application code and fully customize in native IDE (Xcode, RIM JDE, Visual Studio .NET, etc.) to maximize device integration;
Streamlined workflow tools and reusable components that simplify the backend integration and enable faster debugging;
Robust, enterprise-wide security policies fully controllable from AMP Management Center;
Built-in language localization and application UI branding capabilities to easily and fully tailor applications for greater usability.

“Our goal was to deliver innovative new features and an integrated mobile technology platform to the market within one year of the Dexterra acquisition and I am thrilled that we are firmly on course,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “AMP 3.0 not only brings together the best of the AMP and Concert platforms, but it signifies a unified company operating as one. Antenna customers and partners will enjoy greater diversity, flexibility and usability – and a growing portfolio of mobile apps that will vastly improve the way they engage with their own employees and customers.”

As part of this exclusive program, Antenna will offer qualified customers and partners comprehensive training and support to build trial applications on the enhanced platform with no cost or commitment.

Antenna Partner News Release - from AT&T

2010-03-23T00:00:00-04:00

AT&T* has announced a new native application for business users that can help bring the power of iPhone to the enterprise. Using the AT&T WorkBench for iPhone solution, businesses can now easily provision, deploy and control enterprise web applications for work in a highly-secure, reliable and manageable fashion.

Available for download from the App Store, AT&T WorkBench helps extend existing enterprise application services to iPhone through secure web apps hosted in a managed environment. It enables companies to deploy enterprise applications in a highly-secure manner – even on mobile devices purchased by individuals.

Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and chief executive officer, will highlight the product today during his keynote at CTIA Spring 2010 in Las Vegas.

AT&T WorkBench, developed in cooperation with Antenna Software, a leader in mobile enterprise technologies and solutions, was specifically created to address the needs of businesses for deploying and helping to manage and protect mobile applications on iPhones.

A significant enhancement to the AT&T Mobile Enterprise Applications Platform (AT&T MEAP), AT&T WorkBench provides:

Role-based deployment of web applications.
Enhanced IT controls for web applications such as policy management, mobile VPN, over-the-air updates and remote data lock/wipe.
Certificate-based authentication using SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol), which is aligned with iPhone’s over-the-air enrollment and configuration process. Ability to run multiple enterprise web applications simultaneously and toggle instantly between active web applications.
Enables employees to work with their critical data and applications offline and automatically update when they reconnect to the network.

“AT&T WorkBench is a new solution for iPhone, which enables an organization to ‘get down to business,’” said Ron Spears, President and CEO of AT&T Business Solutions. “We’re seeing increased interest and demand for iPhone applications from our business customers across industries and applications. In addition, more customers are requesting to use their personal iPhones in the workplace. With AT&T WorkBench, we’re able to bring an organization’s key enterprise applications, such as ERP or CRM software, to iPhone users with advanced control and security features that corporate IT requires – including authentication and encryption – to enable more secure collaboration and productivity for businesses.”

AT&T WorkBench: Managed iPhone Enterprise Service
“The fact AT&T WorkBench helps distribute and manage web applications for the iPhone will fuel its growth in the enterprise market,” said Stephen Drake, program vice president for mobility and telecom research at IDC. “Such a solution enhances key security and control measures, without sacrificing any of the strong user experiences.”

AT&T WorkBench is an integral part of AT&T MEAP, powered by Antenna Software, which offers hosted and managed mobile integration solutions and application consulting services for companies that want to extend their business-critical information to mobile employees. AT&T WorkBench enables IT organizations to provision, deploy and administer web applications and collaboration tools on the iPhone based on an employee’s role and job requirements. By leveraging AT&T MEAP’s hosted infrastructure, companies can easily create a highly-secure and private channel for deploying their own corporate mobile web applications with bi-directional, push messaging that helps increase transaction reliability and security.

AT&T MEAP: Mobile Sales and Pharma Apps for Oracle
Built to run on the AT&T WorkBench solution, AT&T has also announced two new mobile web applications for Oracle® CRM On Demand that are now available on iPhone:

AT&T MEAP Sales for Oracle CRM On Demand: enables field sales teams to have access to their critical customer and sales information.

AT&T MEAP Pharma: specifically designed for sales teams in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries to provide real-time and offline access to Oracle CRM On Demand for Life Sciences on the iPhone. It also provides additional functionality that facilitates physician detailing and drug sampling.

Both of these AT&T MEAP web applications empower sales representatives to receive and send data in real-time to easily access and quickly update contacts, users, accounts, new opportunities and leads. Additional applications focused on productivity and collaboration will soon be added to the same highly-secure and auditable environment, thereby improving collaboration while being enterprise-sanctioned.

“This innovative solution from AT&T gives Oracle customers a turn-key option to take advantage of the unique iPhone user experience that is easily governed and administered by the enterprise,” said Anthony Lye, Oracle senior vice president of CRM. “Sales organizations and bio-pharma companies looking to improve sales effectiveness and customer care through mobility can quickly gain competitive advantage by leveraging this powerful combination of technologies and services.”

Accessible through AT&T’s leading smartphone devices, AT&T MEAP supports three primary web applications: sales force automation, which provides sales organizations with a complete view across all facets of a customer relationship; field force automation, which provides field service workers with access to real-time customer, inventory and other job-related information; and IT support, which empowers IT technicians with real-time, virtually anywhere access to time sensitive, incident and problem management information.

Businesses using AT&T MEAP can host their web application on premise or in an AT&T data center, providing on-demand access to applications and reducing overall support and overhead costs. Professional services for AT&T MEAP deployment can be performed by AT&T, by a customer’s IT staff or by systems integrators.

Antenna Mobilised to Exploit Successes in UK and Europe

2010-03-09T00:00:00-05:00

LONDON, UK – 9 Mar 2010 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today revealed its significant progress and ambitions for the European market under the auspices of Rikke Helms, Managing Director, EMEA. The company experienced unprecedented growth over the past year when it acquired key competitor Dexterra, boosting its European presence and making it the largest independent enterprise mobility provider in the world. Since integrating the two companies, Antenna has intensified its focus on the European market and demonstrated considerable customer and partner success which it aims to capitalise upon with the Antenna Partnership Programme (APP).

Antenna has added significant new customers across key verticals in the UK and Europe while providing existing customers with uncompromised levels of support. Eaga, a leading outsourcing company in the UK, used Antenna’s mobility solution to assist it with an energy efficiency campaign. The scheme required Eaga to carry out home energy inspections to assess grant eligibility. Eaga’s team of inspectors use the AMP mobile application to access and update applicant records in real time, ensuring inspections are logged speedily and grants approved without delay.

“Although Dexterra originally supplied us with our mobile solution the transition to Antenna has been a seamless one. Antenna maintained the Dexterra team, ensured continuity and provided us with a consistently high level of service. We found the Antenna mobility solution helped us speed-up the passage of information from the home inspections to our processing teams and we’re confident we can deliver on similar demanding projects in the future with AMP,” said Graham Tye, IT Director, Eaga.

Antenna now has over 200 customers, with 250,000 end users using its enterprise-class mobility solutions. The company’s impressive customer acquisitions saw it achieve a compound growth rate (CAGR) of 85 per cent in recurring revenues during 2009. Keen to maintain this momentum, Rikke Helms, Managing Director EMEA for Antenna, is embarking upon a two-pronged European expansion plan which will see Antenna simultaneously leverage existing relationships with its channel partners (telecom providers, VARs and SIs) while also maintaining its direct-to-enterprise route to market.

A cornerstone of the channel strategy is the Antenna Partnership Programme (APP) which will provide partners with unparalleled levels of training and support. The programme enables partners to build fully customised or packaged enterprise applications or to resell existing best-in-class applications from the Antenna portfolio. Providing advice on business development and access to key markets through its network of channel partners, APP will see Antenna’s partners gain through its growing European presence.

“Customer and partner satisfaction remains our top priority as we seek to draw upon the synergies that the acquisition has given us and expand across Europe,” said Rikke Helms, Managing Director EMEA, Antenna. “This year promises to be a momentous one for mobility and Antenna is poised to exploit this burgeoning interest. With a strong European footprint, numerous productive partnerships, an enhanced AMP mobility platform and an extensive range of pre-packaged mobile applications, we’re well positioned to make further inroads into numerous verticals and geographies.”

Antenna Partner News Release

2010-03-09T00:00:00-05:00

Leading electric utility to further improve business agility and responsiveness by deploying mobile solution for enterprise-wide asset maintenance

BRISBANE, Australia, 9 March 2010 — Mincom, a leading global provider of software and services for asset-intensive industries, today announced a significant new agreement worth $7 million with Western Power, which serves the electricity needs of nearly one million homes and businesses in Western Australia and maintains an electricity network comprised of nearly 88,000 km of power lines. Through its adoption of Mincom Mobility solutions, Western Power will enable 1,600 operational field employees to access real-time data about the state of every company asset – such as power poles and street lights – remotely from their mobile devices.

“The deployment of Mincom Mobility represents a major step forward for our organisation, helping us shift from disparate inspection systems to a solution that fully integrates inspections with the corporate asset-management system, enabling a more proactive asset-maintenance program,” said Leigh Sprlyan, chief information officer at Western Power. “Detailed information needed to manage company assets – from their location and structural composition, to worker availability and required skills – will help us optimise scheduling decisions and, in doing so, even more cost-effectively manage our workforce and contractors. And advanced features, such as Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, will further enhance our visibility of both the state of our assets and the work plan, ultimately improving our ability to manage the network.”

For more than 10 years, Western Power has successfully streamlined its asset infrastructure with Mincom Ellipse, the leading solution for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) for asset-intensive industries. After a substantial re-evaluation of applications supporting the company’s core business processes, Western Power decided to further extend its use of Mincom Ellipse to improve productivity, seamlessly meet regulatory standards, and reduce operating costs.

Under the new contract, Western Power will upgrade to the current release of Mincom’s EAM platform, Mincom Ellipse 6.3. In addition, Western Power has licensed Mincom Mobility, a suite of end-to-end, fully integrated mobile applications for automating field-force operations using mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and PDAs. The company has also licensed Mincom Critical Inventory Optimisation (MCIO), software that helps analyse and adjust stock levels and reordering requirements on an ongoing basis. Western Power will also use Mincom Axis B2B, a hosted solution providing business-to-business integration and Web applications to optimise business processes between trading partners.

“Asset-intensive organizations with mobile workforces often have to operate without technology support in the field,” said Greg Clark, CEO of Mincom. “By augmenting its proven-successful deployment of Mincom Ellipse with Mincom Mobility solutions, Western Power can now efficiently streamline asset management directly where it happens – in the field. We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with one of the true leaders in the utilities industry as it further evolves its best-practices application of technology for business benefit.”

Western Power is an electricity-networks corporation responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity in the southwest region of Western Australia. Consisting of nearly 88,000 km of power lines, its electricity network is one of the largest isolated networks in the world. Every day, the company powers nearly a million homes and businesses and approximately 150,000 streetlights. For more information, visit http://www.westernpower.com.au/.

About Mincom
Mincom Pty Ltd is a global software and services provider with nearly 30 years experience in providing business solutions to asset intensive industries such as mining, utilities, transport, defence and government in more than 40 countries across North America, South America, Australia, South East Asia, Africa, and Europe. Mincom Inc. operates in North America and is a subsidiary of Mincom Pty Ltd. Mincom is owned by Francisco Partners. For more information about Mincom, visit www.mincom.com.

The SAP ICC has also certified AMP Enterprise Connect (EC) 4.0 for its integration with SAP ERP via enterprise services. This delivers additional value for customers through improved applications interoperability, increased flexibility and reduced total cost of ownership. Certification of Antenna's solutions by SAP will also benefit AT&T customers mobilizing SAP solutions with AT&T Mobile Enterprise Applications Platform (AT&T MEAP), powered by Antenna.

“Antenna’s mobility platform easily integrates with different back-end solutions such as SAP applications,” said Rudy Putteman, Mobility Project Lead, ICT, Fluxys, an independent operator of the natural gas transmission system in Belgium. “This flexibility combined with its .NET capabilities simplifies the task of designing the mobile application. It also means that we are now able to share information more easily with field workers, which optimizes the quality of their follow up and responsiveness during a construction project.”

Antenna provides a flexible and scalable platform for enterprise customers and third-party developers to build mobility solutions that extend SAP applications and other enterprise back-office and legacy systems out to mobile workers. With Antenna Software, customers and partners can rapidly develop mobile applications for a wide variety of mobile devices – including BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, iPhone and Android – combining information from multiple back-end systems and tailored so mobile workers receive only the tools and data necessary to do their jobs.

By streamlining business processes and deploying end-to-end mobility solutions that are easily integrated with their existing SAP solutions, Antenna is helping customers such as Fluxys and Sylvania to realize significant efficiency and cost-saving benefits. The company plans to continue developing and extending its relationship with SAP to ensure that such benefits can be extended to all current and future Antenna customers.

“Through the certified integration with SAP NetWeaver and SAP ERP via enterprise services, we are removing the complexity of enterprise mobility and delivering the technology that allows businesses to leverage manageable, flexible and secure mobile solutions,” said Dan Zeck, chief technology officer, Antenna. “Antenna’s solutions integrated with SAP applications enable us to deliver critical solutions to customers who demand real-time mobile access to their enterprise applications, which is a vital competitive advantage in today’s market.”

Antenna Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms 2009

2009-12-22T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Dec. 22, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms” report [1].This recognition comes during a landmark year for the company – with more than 200 customers, 250,000 end users and a compound annual growth rate of 85 percent in recurring revenues. A key part of Antenna’s expansion was its acquisition of competitor Dexterra, enabling it to scale globally and drive innovation, while continuing to execute on an aggressive product roadmap for its flagship Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP).

According to Gartner, “The offerings in this Magic Quadrant, and mobile application enablement will continue to grow in importance to enterprises during the next three to five years, as enterprises continue to extend decision-relevant information to employees, who themselves are increasingly mobile.” Gartner also states that, “We believe that more than 95 percent of organizations will be choosing MEAP or packaged mobile application vendors as their primary mobile development platform through 2012.”[1]

“As the demand for mobile applications continues to grow, AT&T remains focused on enabling its customers to mobilize business applications and deploy them in a highly secure, reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Ebrahim Keshavarz, vice president, Business Development. “AT&T’s Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP), powered by the industry-leading Antenna Mobility Platform, provides AT&T customers with access to a broad application portfolio, Antenna’s unrivaled enterprise mobility expertise and highly usable apps that can be easily managed and controlled by IT.”

“Not only is Antenna the de facto industry leader in the mobile market, but it is also the leader with the most vision, setting the standard for where the industry is going in 2010 and beyond,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “The beauty of mobility is that it has the power to align IT infrastructure more tightly with business needs, facilitating macro improvements in business processes. At the same time, mobile apps simplify the day-to-day activities of every end user, empowering the frontlines of the company and engaging mobile-savvy customers in new ways. We are thrilled to be a leader in such a dynamic and exciting market and will continue to provide our customers and partners with transformative mobile solutions at the best possible value.”

Antenna’s 10 Mobile Technology Trends for 2010

2009-12-16T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Dec. 16, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, announced today the 10 mobile technology trends that will most impact the market in 2010.

With the “consumerization of the enterprise” in full swing, the mobile market is now experiencing a rapid proliferation of mobile devices, software and applications in the enterprise. While this increasingly diverse technology landscape may present some management challenges, it will likely be offset by the unprecedented opportunities and choices available for satisfying business requirements and driving innovation.

To help enterprises stay ahead of the mobility curve in 2010, Antenna has identified the following key industry trends to consider when defining their mobile and IT strategy:

1) The Big Productivity Squeeze: Smart companies have proven that mobility allows them to run lean, and also helps to increase worker productivity and improve customer satisfaction at every touch point in the field. Because of this, many experts believe the mobility market is poised for double-digit growth at a time when overall IT spending is predicted to remain flat to marginally down over the next 12-18 months. According to IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Middleware 2009-2013 Forecast and 2008 Vendor Shares (Doc # 219186) from July 2009, the mobile middleware market is expected to grow from $853.8 million in 2008 to $1.6 billion in 2013, at a CAGR of 13.6 percent.

2) Left to Their Own Devices: Forward-looking IT departments will stop fretting over personally liable devices and embrace them as a potential means to improved user satisfaction, higher adoption, better productivity and lower costs. In the long run, many will realize it is not feasible to standardize on just one device platform. The iPhone has taken the enterprise by storm and we believe the same will be true for Android and other future devices.

3) App Stores Ready for Business: There are thousands of apps in consumer app stores today, but only a fraction are relevant for the enterprise. Moreover, businesses want to be able to vet and control their mobile enterprise applications, as well as deploy and provision them in a highly secure, reliable and manageable fashion. Company branded and controlled app stores will enable enterprises to do just that, easily accommodating a wide range of users on multiple and varied devices.

4) Middleware Finally Gets Sexy: Increasing diversity and complexity in the technology market will turn heads to mobile middleware. IT realizes that highly usable mobile applications require elegant integration with a variety of systems from legacy back ends to Web 2.0 social media. As such, they have greater appreciation for mobile platforms and the scalability, flexibility and security they provide.

5) The Outlook for Mobility is Cloudy: More businesses will realize the benefits of a SaaS-based mobile delivery model in 2010 – realizing it gives them the flexibility to scale-up/down their deployment, stay ahead of the innovation curve and focus on strategic issues rather than tactical ones. According to a recent IDC report, “Enterprise Mobility in the Cloud” (Doc # 220192) from October 2009, “almost 40 percent of organizations plan to deploy a SaaS-based mobile solution in the next 12–18 months.” It’s clear that an unequivocal shift to cloud-based services is underway:

6) Smaller Windows, Better Visibility: Business intelligence (BI) will become increasingly mobilized and, in turn, mobility will drive better BI. As more workers use mobile apps, data is accrued in real time to feed BI engines. Executives will be glued to their mobile screens for the latest stats on their business.

7) (More) Power to the Customer: Customers in this economy will be more discerning and demanding than ever. Businesses will have no choice but to empower customer-facing workers with mobility to differentiate on service and create competitive advantage.

8) Everyone Wants to be Thin and Rich: As B2C surges, expect the Web browser to become the dominant delivery mechanism for rich mobile apps. Native mobile apps are not going away anytime soon, but thin applications built on HTML5 are paving the way for richer mobile apps with data persistency. Expect HTML5 and multi-media technology such as Adobe® Flash® to be supported on at least three mobile browser platforms by the end of 2010.

9) Got Platform?: Mobility won’t mean a thing if it is not strategic. Companies are moving beyond tactical pilots and small deployments to larger, enterprise-wide initiatives for sustainable, competitive advantage. Underlying mobility platforms will be central to long-term mobile strategies.

10) The Mobile Pile-On Effect: Tough economic conditions will continue to weed-out the smaller mobile specialists who struggle with liquidity issues. But filling the void will be the carriers, ISVs and systems integrators, who see a huge market opportunity and may double-down on mobile.

“Businesses that are passionate about customer service, committed to improving employee work/life balance and focused on improving profitability have seen the value of mobile solutions many times over,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna, Inc. “Antenna’s mission for 2010 is to help our customers and partners cut through the complexities of this dynamic market, choose the right technologies for business demands and keep things simple for their users, so they can achieve an ROI quickly.”

Antenna Software’s 2009 Customer Satisfaction Survey Reflects Benefits of Mobility-as-a-Service

2009-10-07T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Oct. 7, 2009 – Antenna Software today announced the results of its 2009 Customer Satisfaction Survey, an annual self assessment of service and support among its Global 1000 customer base. Of particular note, 95 percent of the survey respondents indicated that they were satisfied with Antenna as their provider of hosted mobile solutions. This result reflects the benefits that Antenna customers experience with its hosted, on-demand deployment model, including proactive monitoring of wireless messaging traffic, secure and reliable infrastructure, fast resolution to network issues and real-time visibility into ongoing field operations and the IT systems that comprise the total mobile enterprise solution.

“Antenna often knows there is a problem before we do,” said Dave Haas, lead analyst, Animas Corporation, a leading provider of insulin delivery products. “Our mobile CRM solution is hosted in Antenna’s Network Operations Center, which makes it easy for it to alert us immediately if it spots an issue so we can resolve it faster – the hosted model frees us up to focus on business process efficiencies.”

More than 90 percent of AMP customers take advantage of Antenna’s hosted deployment model, indicating growth and support for this approach. Sometimes referred to as “mobility-as-a-service,” the company’s hosted, on-demand model provides a comprehensive approach to mobility that eliminates the complexity associated with building, managing and running an around-the-clock mobile solution. By removing those complexities, enterprises can utilize existing resources to focus on core competencies and reduce the costly infrastructure and extra resources needed to build and maintain a mobile solution. To date in 2009, the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP) has achieved 99.9 percent uptime and availability.

According to William Clark in Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Software as a Service, 2009, published on July 28, 2009, the business impact of mobile enterprise applications on demand is as follows: “Mobile enterprise applications on demand can, in some instances, reduce the break-even payback time on mobile projects to less than two months by lessening capital expenditures on mobile project software. This effect of shifting expenditures from capital expenditure to operating expenditure can be accentuated if mobile devices are also leased. The effect on businesses where there is uncertainty in the demand for mobile licenses can be very high. Enterprises using pay-as-you-go methods can pilot applications without investing in server licenses and by limiting integration expenditures.”

Other notable results from the recent survey include:

97 percent of respondents said they would definitely or likely recommend Antenna to a colleague.
96 percent of respondents rated Antenna’s Customer Support responsiveness as “Good,” “Very Good” or “Excellent.”
97 percent of respondents rated Antenna’s Customer Support representatives on being courteous and professional as “Good,” “Very Good” or “Excellent.”

“We are proud of the continued reliable performance of AMP and the superior work our Customer Service and Operations teams do to support it,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “Managed mobility is an emerging trend and it is clear to see how a vendor-neutral mobility platform such as AMP helps CIOs speed time-to-market of mobile applications across the enterprise, while helping to lower ongoing support costs. That provides tremendous value to our customers, especially now when budgets are tight and sustainable competitive advantage is critical.”

At the heart of the platform is the AMP Gateway. Key functionalities include:

Core wireless message transformation and transaction functions, including store and forward and push messaging.
Delivery reliability provides rule-based notifications for non-delivery, manages network connections to more than 400 global carriers and enables alternate delivery or notification paths in the event of a failure.
Data transformation, authentication, device management and other features.
Millions of wireless transactions processed per week.

Antenna Software CFO Bill Korn Inducted into New Jersey Technology Council Hall of Fame

2009-06-30T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – June 30, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Bill Korn was inducted into the New Jersey Technology Council (NJTC) Hall of Fame. The honor is presented annually to a highly esteemed CFO that has elevated himself to a level of recognition among peers, community and industry influencers. Presented earlier this month at the 2009 CFO Awards Breakfast, Korn was recognized for playing an integral role in Antenna’s continuous growth as a leader in the enterprise mobility industry and the New Jersey technology community. Korn was also a key player in Antenna’s recent high-profile acquisitions of Dexterra and Vettro Corporation.

A New Jersey resident for more than a decade, Korn has 25 years of experience at the helm of fast-growth technology companies. Since joining Antenna in 2003, Korn has been instrumental in the growth of the company into what it is today – the de facto enterprise mobility leader and market driver. Korn has also worked with the NJTC to help bring technology jobs and funding to New Jersey, and extending that success to Antenna and other technology companies in the state.

“Bill Korn is a vital member of the Antenna management team, a trusted advisor and a highly regarded leader in the technology industry,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “In addition to strategic financial planning, Bill contributes to every part of this business with a sheer tenacity to excel. His focus on top-line growth and disciplined cost controls ensures that Antenna maintains a strong balance sheet and delivers the best possible mobile solutions to our customers for the long term.”

Prior to joining Antenna, Korn held C-level positions at five other entrepreneurial companies, including CFO at Integrion Financial Network, Incomnet and iRail, LLC, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and CFO of INFONXX and president of Telelogue. Korn spent 10 years with IBM, where he built its global services business and was one of the founding members of the IBM Consulting Group. He received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and MBA from Harvard Business School.

“Antenna is a shining example of a thriving company in a challenging economy – one with strong financial standing, innovative technology and expertise and industry influence in the New Jersey technology community and beyond,” said Phil Politziner, chairman, Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, Antenna’s longtime accounting firm. “Bill’s highly accomplished professional background has made his role at Antenna especially valuable as the company has been positioned to make both strategic acquisitions and grow organically.”

“While the NJTC award recognizes CFOs, this honor truly reflects the accomplishments of all the great people at Antenna around the world,” said Korn. “Their efforts and commitment to our core values have built a successful and well-respected company – and one that is poised to shape the industry well into the future.”

The NJTC provides business support, networking opportunities, information, advocacy and recognition of technology companies and their leaders. Founded in 1996, the NJTC’s more than 1,200 member companies work together to support their own enterprises while advancing New Jersey’s status as a leading technology center in the country.

The combined company will set a new standard for enterprise mobility that embraces diverse systems and devices, offers more flexibility for mobile application development and allows organizations to scale multiple mobility initiatives across the enterprise with ease. As a result of the acquisition, customers and partners of both companies will benefit from more powerful technology, a broader portfolio of industry solutions and greater choices for mobilizing their businesses.

Based in Bothell, Wash., Dexterra has extensive operations throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, supporting a vast network of global partners that include Accenture, ErgoGroup, Mincom and IBM. Together, Dexterra and its channel resellers support and service more than 100 global enterprises, which include blue chip companies like ADP, Virgin Media and Sylvania to name a few. By acquiring Dexterra, Antenna gains a stronger global presence, a proven channel-enablement strategy and established reseller channels – positioning the company for accelerated growth in a highly competitive market.

This acquisition brings to Antenna an organization with a proven track record in the mobile marketplace, which according to IDC is forecasted to increase to $1.6 billion in 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2 percent from 2007-2012 (IDC, Worldwide Mobile Middleware 2008-2012 Forecast and 2007 Vendor Shares, IDC #215391, December, 2008). The transaction follows Antenna’s acquisition of Vettro’s assets in November 2008, driving further industry consolidation and creating the largest privately held company in the mobile enterprise applications platform (MEAP) market.

“Over the years, Antenna and Dexterra have attacked the market from similar points of strength – providing business-centric mobile solutions to enterprises that want to leverage mobile and wireless technologies to grow their businesses,” said Stephen Drake, program vice president for mobility and telecom research, IDC. “Antenna’s hosted, full-service approach to mobility, along with Dexterra’s focus on carrier and other reseller channels, should help the combined company scale in the near term and greatly increase its potential sales for the long term.”

Antenna will continue to provide full support of Dexterra’s products and technology platform to its current customers, prospects and partners. Since Antenna and Dexterra complement each other in terms of industry focus, geographical coverage, go-to-market strategies and technology competencies, the newly integrated company will offer organizations more flexibility and choice. As a result, they will gain access to an expanded range of products and services that will allow them to leverage the latest mobile and wireless technologies to achieve rapid ROI, improve employee effectiveness, increase customer satisfaction, gain competitive advantage and increase supply chain efficiency.

“The acquisition of Dexterra propels Antenna even further toward its mission to be the de facto mobile architecture for the Global 1000,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “Our combined strengths will enable us to provide our enterprise customers and partners with proven mobile and wireless solutions that are grounded in a wealth of industry expertise and fortified by Antenna’s strong financial position and experienced management team.”

What the Fortune 500 Know About Real Business Mobility

2009-06-04T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – June 4, 2009 – Fortune 500 companies are the “best of the best” in business. Ranking on this prestigious list signals sales and revenue numbers that are among the highest in the world. Beyond that achievement, most of these companies have something else in common – a long-term vision that places enterprise mobility at the core of IT’s mission to help improve employee effectiveness, increase customer satisfaction, gain competitive advantage and increase supply chain efficiency. To execute this strategy, many of these organizations rely on Antenna Software, a leader in delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises. In fact, many of Antenna Software’s customers are Fortune 500 companies, including Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), Xerox, DIRECTV and AT&T.

Mobile devices have infiltrated the enterprise, and today’s most forward-thinking organizations are taking steps to ensure that they leverage them as a strategic differentiator, instead of merely an IT-management headache. Rather than focusing on mobilizing one-off solutions, which have to be updated every time a new device or application enters the mix, a platform-approach preserves the value of existing IT infrastructure and modernizes systems and processes for a new age. The result is an open, flexible architecture that serves as a central hub for all the elements of mobile deployments today and in the future.

Recognizing the value of mobility early, many Antenna customers are reaping the benefits of mobility during this difficult economic climate. Here are the top five tips compiled from these leading organizations on mobilizing their businesses:

1 – Treat Mobility as More than a Project: Having a central integration point is critical. One-off point solutions (from one device to one CRM system to one workgroup, for example) can certainly satiate immediate mobile requirements, but are rigid and inflexible to ever-changing business demands and inevitably stretch IT resources. A mobile platform approach that is flexible and agile will allow a company to scale multiple mobility initiatives across the enterprise, expanding and changing as required.

2 – Choose the Right Device for the Job: With a plethora of mobile devices on the market, including BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm and iPhone, it’s vital that IT can support and manage them all. A mobile platform gives companies ”device independence” – meaning IT can embrace devices available today and prepare for what comes tomorrow.

“The speed of technology change is so fast – the architecture of the Antenna Mobility Platform prepares us for anything,” said Gregg Bullen, program manager, Xerox Systems, Strategy and Technology Group.

3 – Think Outside the Application: Instead of simply mobilizing the back-end application, think about how combining other complementary tools and value-added services will set a new standard for employee effectiveness. For example, device features, including cameras, bar-code scanners, signature captures and GPS and communications tools such as phone, e-mail and mobile IM capabilities create real competitive differentiation and help to drive user adoption.

“The latest device capabilities, including multimedia, open application development platforms and location-based services, all represent significant technological improvements to the usability of mobile applications,” said Sheryl Kingstone, research director, Yankee Group. “For a CRM project to be successful, mobility must be an integral part of the strategy. Companies that add mobile CRM to a smart phone for their end users increase user adoption from a poor 30 percent to a very successful 70 percent adoption rate.”

4 – Involve Your Users: It may take some employees a bit of getting used to the idea of using a handheld wireless device for anything more than phone calls. Some are concerned about “Big Brother” and others are concerned about their big thumbs. Getting to the point where the application really “sticks” and becomes indispensible to employees takes thorough management of user expectations, ongoing training and support, an openness to feedback and a willingness to continue to improve or change the application based on these assessments. That’s how to get the fastest and surest ROI.

“Training is critical to our success. It is vital that everyone understands how to use the mobile application for the breadth and depth of its transactional capabilities and not just as a simple ‘information tool’,” said Erik Walters, manager of technical operations, Sales Operations Organization, DIRECTV.

5 – Look to the Cloud to Contain Costs: Nine out of 10 Antenna customers choose to deploy their mobile applications as a service. They realize that having a hosted solution provides tangible, measurable benefits – lowering capital expenditure by offloading the hosting, managing and monitoring. A well-planned mobility strategy can help to reduce costs in many areas of the business – from IT resources for end-to-end management to hard dollars saved through operational efficiencies.

"Our resources are doing development on the cloud at Antenna," said Kevin Flowers, director of enabling technologies, Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE). "That gave us the ability to jump start everything. We knew this was the right strategy to transform our business to a real-time, event-driven value chain.”

“In this extraordinary economic climate, budgets are getting tightened and IT initiatives are being scrutinized,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “In this context, mobile ‘point solutions’ are providing a quick fix, but ultimately creating a false economy. Only strategic mobility shows clear evidence of cost containment and effective long-term asset and resource management. Instead of waiting for the economy to get better, smart companies are bringing enterprise-wide mobility to the top of their priority list and making things better for themselves.”

Antenna Software’s AMP SERVICE™ Solution Deployed to Xerox Customer Service Engineers

2009-04-27T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – April 27, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that the Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX), deployed its AMP SERVICE™ mobile solution to more than 5,500 Customer Service Engineers (CSEs) in North America, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Xerox, the world’s leading document management technology and services enterprise, implemented the mobile solution to provide CSEs with real-time access to customer information and the ability to update and manage service call details anytime, anywhere.

Xerox needed a next-generation wireless technology solution that is flexible enough to capitalize on future technology innovations without having to retool the entire infrastructure. To meet this challenge Xerox selected AMP SERVICE, powered by Antenna’s AMP platform, to mobilize its field service business processes, starting with its legacy CRM system and migrating to a new Oracle Siebel CRM system. As a result, the CSEs can dispatch and close service calls more effectively – increasing productivity and providing more consistent delivery against Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Just as important, the AMP foundation provides a flexible and manageable mobile architecture for IT, allowing Xerox to reduce the costs of supporting multiple mobile device types and to monitor and control a large volume of wireless data traffic.

“Xerox customers are our priority,” said Andy Huber, manager of service systems strategy and technology, Xerox. “To maintain our leadership position we consistently look for solutions that help us better serve those customers. We chose AMP because we see it as one of the key components in our suite of technologies that enable us to be more responsive to customers and deliver an exceptional quality of service.”

Xerox development teams also use AMP™ Studio, Antenna’s mobile application development environment, to design, build, customize and deploy its mobile solution. The graphical interface and components-based development model speed time to deployment and allow an application to be written once and ported automatically to multiple device platforms. For real-time visibility into devices, users and transactions, Xerox takes advantage of the AMP™ Management Center, a Web console with comprehensive mobile management, monitoring and reporting capabilities.

“Always on the leading edge of technological advancements, Xerox truly appreciates that mobility can be a key differentiator when deployed strategically,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “In today’s fiercely competitive environment, companies need to contain costs, while simultaneously increasing operational efficiency, uncovering new revenue channels and improving customer satisfaction – that’s precisely what Antenna’s Mobility Platform makes possible.”

Antenna Software Debuts First Mobile Instant Messaging (IM) Solution Integrated with a Mobile Enterprise Application Platform

2009-02-24T00:00:00-05:00

GARTNER Wireless & Mobile Summit, Chicago, IL. – Feb. 24, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the launch of AMP™ IM, the first cross-platform, ready-to-deploy mobile instant messaging (IM) solution built specifically for the mobile workforce. With enterprise-grade security and support across multiple devices, AMP IM empowers workers in the field to collaborate with each other in an asynchronous manner, leading to significantly improved knowledge sharing and increased effectiveness. Built as a reusable application component, AMP IM can be easily integrated with voice, e-mail and other mobile applications, or deployed standalone. It runs on BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and iPhone devices and offers the security, control and visibility that businesses need in an IM solution.

Despite the many enterprise and consumer-grade solutions available, organizations have hesitated to fully adopt mobile IM due to security, support and management concerns. Instead, mobile workers rely heavily on e-mail, text messaging and phone calls, but these methods sometimes fall short. Because IM offers real-time status information and asynchronous communications, it can be more efficient than phone calls and more responsive than e-mails, helping workers multi-task and be more productive. Also, younger workers who are accustomed to communicating via IM and text messaging will demand these capabilities on their mobile devices – potentially using unchecked consumer-grade solutions if IT doesn’t provide an alternative. It’s vital then for companies to properly plan for enterprise IM and roll it out as part of an enterprise-wide mobility platform, as this form of communication and collaboration will continue to be woven into the fabric of enterprise IT systems in the years ahead.

“As user interfaces improve to handle the inherent presence capabilities of IM, mobile IM will finally become the type of popular application envisioned years ago,” said Nick Jones, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner. “By 2014, mobile IM will be used regularly by more than 50 percent of wireless subscribers in North America and Western Europe.”

AMP IM complements an organization’s unified communications and mobile strategy, providing a low-cost, auditable and secure means of real-time collaboration among mobile workgroups. Built from the ground up by Antenna as an end-to-end mobile solution, AMP IM is engineered specifically for the needs of the enterprise. It is simple to use and provides the mobile workforce with a quick and easy way to collaborate and communicate – whenever and wherever they need.

For example, a maintenance representative out in the field could quickly check his peer group to see who was available to answer a quick question regarding a machine malfunction. Without toggling to an outside application or having to exit that application to make a phone call or send an e-mail, the rep could simply use AMP IM to get a response immediately.

“With AMP IM, there are no longer any obstacles to adoption of mobile instant messaging in the enterprise,” said Jim Hemmer, CEO, Antenna Software. “AMP IM enables workgroups to communicate quickly and efficiently with one another, but most importantly, it does so within the security and control of an enterprise mobility infrastructure. By integrating AMP IM into the Antenna Mobility Platform, organizations can easily plug IM capabilities into any application, and enjoy telco-grade performance, reliability, control and compliance. ”

AMP IM can be a stand-alone application or integrated as part of a broader, enterprise-wide mobility platform. Key features and benefits include:

Multi-Device Support: Ability to run on BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and iPhone provides enterprise with the freedom of not being locked into a single device.
Ease of Use: One-click to call and e-mail from conversations to increase efficiency.
Auditing and Compliance: Conversations are automatically logged and archived and can be exported, leaving an auditable message trail for security and/or compliance purposes.
Central Administration: IT can establish IM work groups, and view IM conversation reports via a secure, Web-based dashboard.
Presence Indicators and Group Chats: Users can set their status and view the status of others to determine availability, allowing users to efficiently collaborate via one-to-one or group chats.
Security: AMP IM provides a controlled and restricted IM environment for known users and devices only, a common feature lacking from commercial IM solutions.

AMP IM is available now. For more information about AMP IM, visit http://www.antennasoftware.com/mobile_AMP_IM.aspx; or stop by Antenna’s Booth G at Gartner Mobile & Wireless, Feb. 23-25, Chicago for a demo.

Fluxys Utilises Dexterra for Customized Mobility Solution for Pipeline Construction and Maintenance

2009-01-13T00:00:00-05:00

Reading, UK – 13 January, 2009 — Dexterra Inc., the business mobility company, today announced that Fluxys, the independent natural gas transport company, has deployed its Dexterra Concert mobility platform to improve its field operations management and share information more quickly between business units.

The Dexterra deployment addresses several mobility needs within the Belgian-based gas transport company. Firstly, it standardises and improves the delivery of data fed back by field workers into its SAP Plans & Maintenance system. At the same time it enables the construction business unit to share information with its own field workers, optimising the quality of their follow up and responsiveness during the construction projects.

While Fluxys had an existing mobile solution for conducting pipe inspections, the company relied upon paper-based processes for basic maintenance tasks such as providing feedback, order placements, or providing job descriptions to field workers. Recognising the need to automate these processes and standardise the information being fed back to SAP, Fluxys implemented a mobile solution capable of meeting its multiple needs.

“We selected Dexterra’s mobility platform based on its ability to easily integrate with different backend systems as well as its .NET integration capabilities, simplifying the task of designing the application itself,” said Rudy Putteman, ICT, responsible for the mobility projects at Fluxys.

The Fluxys solution consists of two customised mobile applications deployed on Panasonic CF19 devices. These are Mobile Inspection and Maintenance Application (MIMA), rolled out across eight regions, and Site Application Mobile Solutions (SAMOS). Final phases of both deployments were completed in December 2008.

“Mobility solutions, designed correctly and using the right technology, have the potential to provide rapid return-on-investment and a longer life-span while meeting the increasingly complex requirements to support changes in processes, devices and back-office system integration,” said Rikke Helms, managing director of EMEA for Dexterra. “Hence it’s no surprise that market leaders such as Fluxys are now taking advantage of state-of-the-art mobile platforms, that can support numerous customised applications, in order to deliver across-the-board improvements and ensure that all staff can fulfil tasks quicker and more effectively.”

About Fluxys
Fluxys is the independent operator of the natural gas transport, transit and storage infrastructure in Belgium. The company also operates the LNG terminal in Zeebrugge and the Zeebrugge Hub, one of the foremost international short-term natural gas markets in Europe. Driven by its first mover approach, Fluxys has developed its infrastructure to serve as the crossroads of international gas flows in Western Europe. For more information, visit www.fluxys.com.

Antenna Software Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms, 2008

2009-01-05T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Jan. 5, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant in the 2008 “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms” report [1], authored by William Clark and Michael J. King. This recognition comes on the heels of the company’s recent acquisition of the Vettro Corporation’s key assets and several major product upgrades, including the next-generation versions of the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP) and AMP™ Studio.

According to Gartner, “We’ve renamed the multichannel access gateway market to the mobile enterprise application platform market, reflecting its maturation … Gartner has broadened the report to consider the strategic multichannel tools and gateways, as well as the platforms and tools that can be used tactically to implement and support mobile enterprise applications … More-stringent requirements have narrowed the number of vendors.”

Gartner also states that “the offerings in this Magic Quadrant will continue to grow in importance to enterprises during the next three to five years. Mobile seat deployments grew twice as fast as the overall application market in 2007 and through the first three quarters of 2008. Enterprise adoption of mobile/multichannel platform functionality will slow somewhat with the economy, but we expect that investments driven by cost optimization of business processes to continue due to the high return on investment (ROI) and relatively quick (less than 12 months) break-even payback cycles.” [1]

“CIOs and IT organizations are now recognizing that mobility is going to impact every area of business,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “During the next few years this is going to be profound – and companies need to start thinking strategically now, rather than backing into the infrastructure later. Since most companies have already invested in mobile devices, networks and systems, the focus needs to be on making existing assets more efficient, containing costs and utilizing a mobility platform such as AMP, which harmonizes these elements and produces solid returns for the business.”

Used today by more than 150 enterprises around the world, AMP is designed for companies that appreciate mobility as the means to create greater customer intimacy, tighten business processes and stay ahead of the competition. Offering an open and flexible architecture that leverages existing IT investments, AMP serves as the central IT hub to integrate the four key elements of a comprehensive mobile deployment: data, devices, development and management, and to power real-time communications and collaboration throughout the enterprise.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Jan. 5, 2009 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that it experienced a year of strong growth fueled by innovations to the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), a relationship with AT&T Business Solutions and major customer success, including a mobile field service deployment at Coca-Cola Enterprises, the world’s largest marketer, producer and distributor of Coca-Cola products. Furthering its mission to transform the way organizations mobilize their business processes, Antenna also capped off the year by acquiring the strategic assets of a key competitor and a Leadership position in Gartner Inc.’s “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Applications Platform, 2008” report.

“Coca-Cola Enterprises selected AMP because it aligned nicely with our strategic mission to provide flexible, secure and reliable delivery of business information throughout the organization,” said Kevin Flowers, director of BIS enabling technologies, Coca-Cola Enterprises. “As part of our IT infrastructure, AMP will help us to produce greater efficiencies and sustainable growth across our merchandising and delivery operations.”

In 2008, Antenna enjoyed strong growth in total revenue and outgrew the market in the number of users it deployed. The company also continued to strengthen its superior service and support for customers by adding significant new features and capabilities to AMP, enabling organizations to implement mobility strategically in line with overall business and IT objectives. Building on its strong market position, Antenna acquired the key assets of Vettro Corporation, a provider of mobile field service solutions. The acquisition reinforced the long-term viability of Antenna’s platform-based mobility approach and affirmed its ability to shape the market.

Antenna’s relationship with AT&T Business Solutions reached a new milestone when AMP was selected to support AT&T Mobile Enterprise Applications, which offers a hosted and managed mobile integration solution and application consulting services for companies that want to extend their business-critical information to mobile employees. Expanding AT&T’s delivery of mobile field service automation, salesforce automation and IT support applications, AT&T Mobile Enterprise Applications allows customers to host applications in a data center, provide on-demand access to applications or run applications behind their own firewalls.

“Antenna’s mobility platform supports one of our key business goals – enabling enterprises to get the maximum benefit from mobility,” said Ebrahim Keshavarz, vice president of business development, AT&T Business Solutions. “We’re pleased to work with Antenna to mobilize an enterprise’s key business processes and we look forward to continued success in 2009.”

AMP™ Location: Antenna launched its open, flexible location-based services (LBS) engine to simplify the integration of the latest LBS and global positioning system (GPS) technologies into mobile business solutions.

Oracle Inner Circle: Antenna was chosen as the go-to mobility partner in the Oracle Elite 8, a group of top-tier partners in the “Inner Circle” initiative that represent best-in-class solutions and customer success with Oracle CRM On-Demand.

“2008 was a monumental year for Antenna – we continued to invest in our AMP mobile architecture and accomplished strategic corporate gains across the board,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna. “Looking ahead to the coming year, we firmly believe that the smart money is on real business mobility to drive bottom-line benefits, stoke innovation and continue to pay dividends to our customers for years to come.”

Apple iPhone™ Ripe for the Enterprise on the Antenna Mobility Platform™

2008-12-03T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Dec. 3, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP) now supports the Apple iPhone™ . By bringing the iPhone onto AMP, Antenna enables CIOs to embrace the device as a robust productivity tool and enjoy enterprise-class security, reliability and end-to-end manageability. With AMP’s proven mobile application architecture, IT can easily develop, deploy, manage and secure applications on the iPhone, as well as 60 other different mobile devices, in a cohesive environment – instead of wasting valuable resources in separate “siloed” development and support efforts.

Antenna, a premier member of the Apple Developer Connection program, surveyed its Global 1000 customer base in September 2008 to assess current usage and future plans for the iPhone in the workplace. Of the 100 respondents, 65 percent stated they were responsible for supporting, managing and/or provisioning mobile solutions at their company. Key findings from the research include:

40 percent of respondents use two or more mobile devices for work purposes (in addition to their laptops)
13 percent said they were either currently supporting the iPhone or had it firmly on their roadmap, and an additional 64 percent said they were currently researching and evaluating their iPhone support and strategy
For those organizations not currently supporting the iPhone, barriers to overcome included total cost of ownership (38 percent), security (35 percent), device management (35 percent) and application provisioning (21 percent)
85 percent of respondents were concerned about the use of unsanctioned iPhones in their workplace

“The iPhone will have huge implications in the enterprise market,” says Nathan Dyer, senior analyst, Enterprise Mobility, Yankee Group. “Despite the potential of prosumer pull-through in the enterprise, corporate IT remains the gatekeeper of access to enterprise back-end systems. IT must ultimately sanction and support the iPhone to transform the iPhone from a voice-centric, Internet-browsing, rogue device to a fully equipped business machine with seamless access to enterprise systems.”

As the iPhone and other new devices inevitably make their way into the enterprise, AMP provides customers with a unified, flexible and secure environment from which IT can launch and manage strategic mobility initiatives. Specifically, AMP provides:

Enterprise-Grade Security: Wireless transactions sent on the AMP platform are secure, managed and auditable; enables remote wipe or lock of mobile applications
Mission-Critical Reliability: AMP offers connected and disconnected access to applications; provides store-and-forward and push notification for real-time messaging
Flexible, Extensible Platform: AMP supports multiple device platforms, networks and enterprise systems from the same unified environment; enables composite applications using data from multiple heterogeneous systems; lowers total cost of ownership by centralizing management of mobility
End-to-End Management: AMP enables over-the-air (OTA) application provisioning; monitors and captures all transactions between the mobile device and host systems; integrates with AMP Management Center for greater user and device control and visibility

“The iPhone, G1, Storm, Treo, Touch … CIOs need to embrace the fact that it’s a multi-device world,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “With mobile and wireless technology evolving at rapid-fire pace, IT must not think in terms of mobilizing one system or supporting one device. The transformative power of mobility is achieved with a unified platform like AMP that is built for diversity and constant change – that is what will enable real competitive advantage, service differentiation and state-of-the-art mobility solutions for years to come.”

Mincom to Launch Mobility Solution for Asset Intensive Business

2008-11-19T00:00:00-05:00

DENVER, COLO. – November 19, 2008 — Mincom, a leading global provider of software solutions and services for asset intensive industries, today announced plans to launch a mobility solution designed to meet the needs of asset intensive organizations across industries including mining, utilities, public infrastructure, defense and transport. The company has selected the Dexterra mobility platform as the underlying mobility technology to extend and deploy its purpose-built applications for asset management to mobile workers. This strategic initiative for Mincom is an extension of the current technology platform that will deliver a fully integrated end-to-end solution mobilizing asset management and critical businesses processes.

Asset intensive organizations have much more complex mobile solution needs than most other businesses. Often the majority of their workforce is deployed to manage assets in environments that can be subject to extreme conditions such as in mines or emergency response situations. Mincom will deliver a solution that provides the communications flexibility, reliability and unique capabilities they require.

Delivering enterprise solutions for asset intensive businesses, Mincom supports a diverse range of customers throughout the world, including, Australian Defence Force, Toronto Hydro, Ergon, Energex, Xstrata Copper, Newmont Mining Corporation, Metronet (London Underground) and Scottish Power.

“Mincom customers are asset intensive businesses, highly reliant on field workers to operate, manage and maintain mission critical assets,” said Greg Clark, Mincom chief executive officer. “Asset failure in a mining organization, for example, can equate to millions of dollars lost in just hours of production downtime.”

“Our new solution extends Mincom’s SOA-based technology platform to mobilize asset management and other critical business processes, helping our global customers reduce downtime, increase productivity and efficiency, improve safety and lower overall capital expense and operating costs.”

“It lays the foundation for us to deliver new applications and services over time and provide a single mobility platform for our customers, while reducing their total cost of ownership.” This is timely given today's economic environment and the need to drive quick return on investment while reducing overall costs quickly and measurably.

Mincom’s mobility solution will be based on the new Dexterra Concert Enterprise Edition and Dexterra Field Service Suite which includes schedule and dispatch, work order lifecycle management and location-based asset and resource tracking. Together with Mincom’s industry and domain expertise, the solution delivers purpose-built asset management applications that mobilize best practice processes in asset management and integrates directly to Ellipse, the company’s Enterprise Asset Management platform as well as other leading ERP platforms including SAP and Oracle.

Mincom customers also benefit from the ease in extending this mobility solution to other critical business processes such as sales force automation, customer relationship management, procurement and customer support through the use of pre-built standards-based technology, database and application adapters for mobile integration that facilitate rapid integration with virtually all back-office systems. A key advantage is the solution requires minimal integration so time to benefits for customers is significantly reduced.

“An enterprise must be agile enough to change its business processes quickly if it is to respond to fast-changing business conditions and capitalize on new opportunities. Therefore, the information systems supporting the business processes must be capable of changing quickly,” notes Gartner, Inc. in “Using SOA to Achieve Four Design Goals”, Roy W. Schulte, September 2008. “Agility, in this case, means being able to reconfigure and extend application systems without rewriting much code or changing the databases when business requirements change. It also means implementing multichannel applications that support desktop, mobile and back-office work simultaneously.”

“By providing significant domain expertise and a global presence in more than 40 countries, Mincom extends our ability to deliver industry-specific, process-driven mobile applications that are unique to asset intensive businesses,” said Michael Liebow, chief executive officer of Dexterra. “The jointly developed mobility solution for asset management enables existing and new Mincom customers to fully maximize their investment by empowering their workforce with mobile applications that make them as productive in the field as they are in the office. We look forward to working with Mincom to build long-term customer relationships and to set the bar for the kind of results that can only be achieved through business mobility.”

Mincom will market its mobile solutions to its global customers in Australia, Latin America, South Africa, Europe and North America. Mincom will also leverage the Dexterra DevNetwork partner program and the associated distribution partnerships, including with wireless carriers.

Scheduled for delivery in early 2009, the Mincom mobility solution will include applications for asset inspections and defects, asset inventory surveys, field force management, mobile GIS, mobile GPS navigation, scheduling and dispatch. Over the next two years, the company will rapidly introduce additional applications such as mobile logistics management, time sheet management, incident and accident recording and contractor management.

About Mincom
Mincom Pty Ltd is a global software and services provider with nearly 30 years experience in providing business solutions to asset intensive industries such as mining, utilities, transport, defense and government in more than 40 countries.

SYLVANIA Lighting Services Deploys Mobile SAP CRM Application Using Dexterra Concert™ Mobility Platform

2008-11-03T00:00:00-05:00

BOTHELL, WA — November 3 , 2008 — Dexterra Inc., a leading provider of software to automate and manage mobile workforces, announced today that it has deployed the Dexterra Mobile Service application with SAP CRM adapters for SYLVANIA Lighting Services based on the Dexterra Concert mobility platform. The new mobile solution integrates tightly with SYLVANIA’s enterprise SAP CRM and R3 systems, allowing the company to send real-time work orders and updates to hundreds of field service technicians dispatched across the United States. In supporting the reality of business change, it has already proven its ability to easily scale as new employees are added and handle changes in mobile device types across the enterprise.

SYLVANIA Lighting Services, a subsidiary of OSRAM SYLVANIA, is the leader in lighting service and maintenance, with more than 40 years of industry experience. The company’s 500 field technicians service thousands of customers each year, performing regular interior and exterior lighting inspections, as well as new installations and higher-efficiency lighting upgrades.

When SYLVANIA decided to replace its legacy field service application, a key requirement was that the new solution be integrated with the company’s SAP CRM and R3 systems. They also needed a scalable solution that would not become obsolete if the mobile devices used by field personnel had to be replaced.

“SYLVANIA’s previous field service application was not integrated with our enterprise systems, which made it difficult to communicate with our technicians,” explained Armand Gendreau, director of IT Projects and Core Application Support at OSRAM SYLVANIA. “We wanted to be able to push enterprise information out to them on a real-time basis so they could service customers more efficiently. With Dexterra, we were finally able to leverage our SAP CRM and R3 systems while servicing our customers from anywhere in the U.S. using wireless technology.”

SYLVANIA’s field service application is a full-featured, highly sophisticated field service application that enables SYLVANIA’s field technicians to receive real-time CRM updates from the enterprise back office and adjust their job schedules accordingly. They can also take immediate equipment inventories and account for non-billable business activities. With less job information to enter manually and more enterprise CRM information available to them regularly, SYLVANIA’s field service technicians now have a productive workflow that lets them respond quickly to customer needs.

SYLVANIA began rolling out their Dexterra-based mobile solution on the AT&T network in April 2008 and completed the roll-out 4 weeks later. To allow for scalability, SYLVANIA also has plans to roll the next generation Motorola Symbol device into the existing Dexterra platform.

“Mobile CRM is quickly becoming a defining capability for performance-driven field service organizations,” said Abhi Ingle, vice president, Mobility Applications Consulting, AT&T Business Solutions. “With the AT&T-certified Dexterra Field Service application, our enterprise customers can implement strategic mobility solutions to become more efficient while improving customer satisfaction. As SYLVANIA’s 'go-to' company for mobile applications consulting and networking services, we are committed to assisting them in accelerating their business performance."

“SYLVANIA joins a growing number of companies who are deploying Dexterra field service solutions to streamline business processes and gain a competitive advantage by enabling frontline users to take real-time, real business actions in the field,” said Suhas Uliyar, chief technology officer and general manager of Mobile Applications at Dexterra. “These companies recognize that Dexterra provides the flexibility to easily integrate mobile applications with their existing back-office systems, such as SAP, and economically adapt their applications to stay ahead of changing business requirements and deliver immediate value and ROI for their organizations.”

Dexterra partnered with their service delivery partner Softechnologies to deploy the mobile service application and integrate the solution to OSRAM SYLVANIA’s SAP environment.

About OSRAM SYLVANIA
OSRAM SYLVANIA is a leader in lighting solutions and specialty products that feature innovative design and energy saving technology. The company sells products for homes, businesses and vehicles primarily under the SYLVANIA brand name, and also under the OSRAM brand. Headquartered in Danvers, Mass., OSRAM SYLVANIA is the North American operation of OSRAM GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG. For more information, visit www.sylvania.com.

Antenna Software Launches AMP™ Pharma

2008-10-16T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Oct. 16, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the launch of AMP™ Pharma, a mobile customer relationship management (CRM) solution designed specifically for the needs of today’s pharmaceutical salesforce in an increasingly competitive market. AMP Pharma provides intuitive, anywhere access to leading CRM systems, such as Oracle, Siebel and SAP, on a wide range of wireless devices, including BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Apple iPhone and tablet PCs. Powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform™(AMP), AMP Pharma integrates location-based services, collaboration technologies and other value-added capabilities directly into the mobile application to boost field sales adoption and maximize ROI.

“With strict compliance regulations, growing global competition and scaled-down sales organizations, many pharmaceutical companies must streamline and improve operations to succeed, which means the pressure is on to increase the productivity, agility and efficiency of the feet on the street,” said Sheryl Kingstone, research director, Yankee Group. “As a result, wireless technology and mobile applications are becoming increasingly important in tightening up every facet of a rep’s day – pre-sales, execution and account management – so every opportunity is maximized.”

AMP Pharma is an innovative mobile solution that provides both connected and disconnected access to relevant product, physician and hospital information to a sales rep’s smartphone, while weaving in context-aware and location-based capabilities into the workflow. It is designed to automate and improve key pharmaceutical business processes, so sales people are more informed, up-to-date, prepared and responsive in the field. Using AMP Pharma, sales reps can maximize the precious little time they have with physicians and continually build commitment to their brands.

Key benefits include:

Maximizing Rep Productivity: By having the right information at the right time, reps are more knowledgeable about physicians, institutions and products to be more effective during sales calls. Furthermore, they can be more agile and proactive in the field, determining a physician’s influence or purchase history at a particular hospital or conducting real-time prospecting from a targeted contact list – all of which minimizes “dead time.”
Providing More Knowledgeable Service: With AMP Pharma, sales reps can more easily respond to questions and deliver more physician-centric service by providing customized on-the-spot product information. If needed, the rep can e-mail, fax or print materials for the physician right from the mobile device.
Managing Regulatory Compliance: AMP Pharma’s use of digital signature capture, timestamp and detailed data capture and tracking capabilities ensure that reps adhere to company policies and industry regulations.
Improving Sample Management: AMP Pharma allows reps to more easily and quickly manage sample distribution – also essential for compliance and expiration date tracking.
Reducing Administrative Time: Since reps can accomplish much more from their mobile devices during working hours, they spend less time updating the CRM systems from home, which creates more consistent and accurate CRM data – and lightens the load on their personal time.

AMP Pharma enables IT administrators to customize, control, secure and manage the entire mobile environment with ease. Since AMP Pharma is powered by AMP, IT management can be assured that the mobile solution will easily support and integrate with multiple device platforms, back-end systems and wireless networks in an open, flexible and unified environment. In addition, AMP offers built-in management, administration and reporting capabilities and can be deployed on-demand or on-premise to suit the strategic requirements of the customer. This flexibility lowers costs, simplifies and future-proofs technology infrastructure and drives greater ROI.

“Antenna helps pharmaceutical companies amplify the value of their most valuable business driver – the salesforce – by equipping them with the tools they need to communicate, collaborate and produce while working in the field,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “As the barriers to success grow more daunting – with greater regulation, fiercer competition and fewer sales resources – companies must recognize that they need a mobile architecture that supports how their employees want to work and how their physicians expect to be serviced.”

Antenna will demonstrate AMP Pharma at a VIP luncheon and networking event at PharmaForce 2008, Oct. 16, in Philadelphia.

Antenna Software’s AMP Studio™ Sets New Standard for Dynamic Mobile Application Development

2008-10-07T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Oct. 7, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the availability of the latest version of AMP™ Studio, its unified, standards-based mobile application development environment. Using a device-independent, component-based and model-driven paradigm, AMP Studio enables portability, re-use and ease-of-customization of mobile applications. Offering a new intuitive graphical design interface and flexible development processes, AMP Studio empowers business analysts and software developers to work collaboratively to design, develop and deploy dynamic mobile applications more quickly and easily. This innovative approach helps reduce costs, time and complexity of mobile deployments and enables IT to integrate mobility more seamlessly into the fabric of IT culture and infrastructure.

“In today’s workplace, a growing number of mobile employees spend almost 40 percent of their time away from the office; some are knowledge workers others are more task-based, but clearly different workgroups have different needs in the field,” said Eugene Signorini, vice president, Yankee Group. “IT needs to balance the success and protection of the business against the requirements of these individual workers. As such, they should take steps to implement a flexible and collaborative approach to mobile application development to support what their employees need to access information, communicate with one another and fulfill their day-to-day tasks. This is critical for driving user adoption and achieving real productivity benefits.”

Antenna Software Launches Next Generation of Antenna Mobility Platform™

2008-09-16T00:00:00-04:00

Equips IT to grow beyond the limits of point mobile solutions for greater strategic value, future extensibility and any-to-any flexibility across the enterprise

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — September 16, 2008 — Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the release of its next-generation Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP 2.0). The enhanced architecture and development environment enables organizations to quickly and easily create dynamic mobile applications that are aware of user context, preferences and location for real-time collaboration in the field, intelligent business process automation and more efficient customer responsiveness. Unlike limited point solutions tied to single back-end systems or specific devices, AMP 2.0 is open and flexible, enabling IT to maintain control over an ever-changing mobility landscape and remain agile as business requirements change due to new users, devices and business processes.

“Mobility is not being given appropriate attention: It’s not considered a formal part of IT infrastructure and operations. Therefore, many projects are deployed as islands of mobility,” said Ken Dulaney, vice president distinguished analyst, Gartner. According to the March 18, 2008 Key Issues for Mobile Applications 2008 research published by Ken Dulaney, “integration between IT and mobility is critical. In addition, years of pilot projects on a volatile set of technologies are yielding a fragmented picture. Organizations need to use strategic planning to invest in infrastructures that can adapt to future needs and last longer.”

Providing proof-points of market trends, several Antenna customers comment on the state of enterprise mobility and the business drivers behind their mobile platform selection:

Xerox Corporation: “With technology evolving at rapid-fire pace, we wanted to be in a position to create innovative solutions to help our customers in new and different ways. So when the project began to enhance our CRM system, we seized the opportunity to establish not only a next-generation wireless field service solution, but Antenna’s AMP mobility platform. AMP will enable Xerox to design, build, deploy and manage state-of-the-art mobile solutions across the enterprise for years to come, which, in turn, will enable us to deliver the best service to our customers.” — Gregg Bullen, program manager in Xerox’s Systems, Strategy and Technology Group.

Carrier Corporation: “Deploying our field service application on the Antenna Mobility Platform gave us the flexibility to choose the wireless device that is right for our needs now and that we could adapt to a next-generation device as future business requirements may dictate.” — Mike Hawman, CIO, Building Systems and Services, Carrier Corporation

Pitney Bowes Canada: “Adding to the success of Pitney Bowes’ mobile service deployments in the U.S. and Europe, we have improved response times 16.1 percent since deployment of AMP™ SERVICE and dramatically increased customer satisfaction because of better and faster communications.” — Jacques L’Africain, vice president, Customer Service, Pitney Bowes Canada

Heineken Ireland: “By partnering with Antenna, Heineken Ireland was able to improve the ROI from its Siebel system; enhance the service delivered to its customers and increase visibility and reporting capability for management. The project has been so successful in the field service department that Heineken has also rolled out a mobility project to help its merchandising team better track product placement and positioning in the off-trade retail sector.” — Martin Gowran, project manager, Heineken Ireland

DIRECTV: “The flexibility of Antenna’s mobility platform means we can continually upgrade and improve our mobile CRM solution with Location-Based Services (LBS) and other technologies quickly and easily for even greater productivity and top-line benefits in the field.” — Erik Walters, program manager, Business Solutions, DIRECTV, Inc.

According to Jim Hemmer, Antenna president and CEO, “Roughly four out of every five customers that leverage the Antenna Mobility Platform ultimately choose to have Antenna host and manage it. We believe this trend validates an acceptance of delivering ‘mobility-as-a-service’ and underscores a growing need among enterprises to ramp-up quickly, keep initial investments low, minimize the burden on their IT staff and future-proof their mobility solutions.”

AMP 2.0 seamlessly and securely integrates with more than 50 different enterprise systems and numerous third-party external systems and Web resources, runs across 400 wireless networks worldwide and supports more than 60 different wireless devices – all from the same unified environment. Highlights of this release include:

Virgin Media Deploys Dexterra Mobility Platform Across UK Field Service Force

2008-09-09T00:00:00-04:00

READING, UK – 9 September 2008 — Dexterra, Inc., a leading provider of software to automate and manage mobile workforces, has announced that Virgin Media, the leading UK entertainment and communications company, has deployed the Dexterra Concert platform to deliver mobile applications to its entire UK field service staff. The platform will serve the 2,500 field service staff nationwide, providing the company’s service technicians with the tools needed to perform all customer installations and on-premise maintenance automatically, achieving greater efficiency and increased customer satisfaction.

Virgin Media is the UK’s largest residential broadband provider, the largest virtual mobile network operator and the second-largest provider of pay TV and home phone. The company was formed by the merger of the UK’s two largest cable companies, NTL and Telewest, and the subsequent acquisition of Virgin Mobile, with Virgin Media rebranded and launched in February 2007. The merger resulted in a combined mobile workforce of technicians and engineers using different technologies and field processes and Virgin Media was faced with the challenge of standardising operations across its business. With the company offering a host of service packages to its millions of customers, it is vital that engineers can install, configure and activate the correct equipment at each customer’s home, as well as identifying and rectifying any problems first time.

“In such a competitive market, customer service, and satisfaction, is key. Standardising our field activities and arming our customer-facing staff with better mobile tools is a critical component in this, particularly as more customers are taking more services from us,” said Paul Buttery, managing director of the access division at Virgin Media. “Using Dexterra’s platform, our technicians are equipped with the necessary applications to complete each job on the first visit, which not only greatly increases internal efficiency and cost savings, but also ensures ongoing customer satisfaction.”

Virgin Media undertook a review of its application and platform solutions and selected Dexterra’s Concert platform based on the security and flexibility it offered, as well as its ability to provide a platform on which Virgin Media can develop further customised applications going forward. Based on the Dexterra platform, Virgin Media has developed its own field service application that is deployed on the field service force’s semi-ruggedised Motorola Symbol MC70 handsets.

Virgin Media field staff are trained to provide telephone, broadband and digital television support, all from the single device, making real-time back-end integration a necessity in order to resolve customer problems on the spot. The field service application specifically enables employees to perform diagnostic tests and activate services. This information is fed into Virgin Media’s in-house diagnostics system, ICOMS, through the Dexterra platform, with the relevant data or diagnostics results then relayed back to the mobile devices.

From a management perspective, the new solution provides Virgin Media with far greater insight into the status of current and outstanding tasks, as well as enabling the company to send out scheduling updates and job notifications as and when they occur.

“The pure nature of service providers means that staff are constantly out in the field liaising with and servicing customers, and customer loyalty can be gained or lost based on this interaction. It is therefore important that companies like Virgin Media choose the right mobility solution,” said Rikke Helms, managing director of EMEA for Dexterra. “With so many customer interactions occurring at field level on a daily basis there can be no margin for error. By deploying Dexterra’s proven mobility platform, Virgin Media has equipped its field staff with the tools to deliver the best possible standard of customer service.”

Dexterra Concert Mobility Platform Enables Field Service Application for Verizon Partner Solutions

2008-08-19T00:00:00-04:00

BOTHELL, WA – August 19, 2008 — Dexterra Inc., a leading provider of software to automate and manage a mobile workforce, announced today that it has collaborated with Verizon Partner Solutions (VPS) to support its implementation of a field service application using the Dexterra Concert mobility platform. The new VPS mobile field service solution is deployed on five-ounce smartphones and provides 2,250 service technicians and managers with immediate access to work orders, network information, testing, project close-out and time-reporting applications, enhancing their mobility, productivity and job satisfaction.

Verizon Partner Solutions is a wholesale provider of networks and network services to wireless, Internet, cable and telephone companies based in the United States. The unit’s field technicians use automated electronic systems and software applications to manage their daily service workflow, which includes providing installation, maintenance and repair services for customers.

Previously Verizon’s field personnel carried 8-pound laptops that constantly had to be rebooted as they moved from job site to job site. Increasing the mobility of their field service technicians by reducing their gear weight was a key driver behind Verizon’s new smartphone application. The challenge was providing the required applications and the associated workflow on a smaller, more cost-effective form factor that could still deliver all the business functionality field technicians need.

Faced with an aggressive deployment schedule, Verizon decided to develop their field service solution using the Dexterra Concert mobility platform. Dexterra Concert enabled Verizon to quickly create a versatile mobile application without writing low-level data transport code. The platform’s tightly integrated independent developer environment (IDE) tools and pre-built integration adapters further accelerated the application development process.

In addition, the Dexterra Concert platform supports multiple mobile devices, giving Verizon the freedom to deploy their field service application on a wide range of PDAs, mobile phones and smartphones, including RIM BlackBerry and Microsoft Windows Mobile devices. These mobile handhelds can be swapped out at any time, making Verizon’s solution future-proof.

To manage their distributed workforce of smartphone-equipped field technicians, Verizon uses the system administration toolkit included with the Dexterra Concert platform. The ability to manage mobile workers remotely will be increasingly important as Verizon continues to expand the rollout of their new field service application.

“Mobilizing complex field practices and then deploying them on a small form factor like a smartphone is not an easy thing to do,” noted Dexterra Chief Technology Officer Suhas Uliyar, who participated in several development team meetings. “But by leveraging Dexterra’s mobility platform, development tools and expertise, Verizon was able to streamline their development efforts and quickly introduce a cost-effective smartphone application that significantly increases the mobility and productivity of their field service personnel.”

Safelite AutoGlass Uses Dexterra’s Mobility Platform to Develop and Deploy Productivity-Enhancing Field Service Applications

2008-06-10T00:00:00-04:00

BOTHELL, WA – June 10, 2008 — Dexterra Inc., the business mobility company, announced today that Safelite AutoGlass, the largest provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services in the United States, has successfully developed and deployed new mobile applications for its field service personnel based on Dexterra Concert™, an open development platform that supports any mobile device. Safelite successfully developed its client applications with support from the Dexterra DevNetwork Program, a comprehensive partner enablement program that provided them with access to Dexterra’s platform and tightly integrated development tools, application design assistance, and ongoing mentoring services.

Safelite AutoGlass, founded in 1947, provides mobile vehicle glass repair and replacement services throughout the United States. The company has 2,000 field service technicians who service more than two million customers a year. Before Safelite implemented its Dexterra-based solution with RIM BlackBerry devices, these field service technicians used paper work orders, maps and cell phones to communicate with dispatchers as they moved from job site to job site.

“It’s common in service organizations that work days are pretty fast paced. Dispatchers are trying to determine exactly when technicians will arrive and leave a customer site, and are constantly interrupting technicians for status updates while they are in the middle of working with a customer,” said Rod Ghani, AVP business development, technology applications for Safelite. “We knew there were significant gains to be made in customer service and employee productivity if we could help dispatchers get a handle on technicians’ location and status without disrupting technicians in real-time.”

Safelite decided to make their field operations more efficient by equipping technicians with handheld devices that would allow them to communicate via text message, process work orders electronically and check parts status immediately. But while Safelite has a strong internal application development team, the company had no previous experience in developing mobile business applications. To achieve their mobile and application development objectives quickly and painlessly, the company turned to Dexterra.

The Dexterra DevNetwork Program was created specifically to help development partners quickly build mobile applications based on the Dexterra Concert platform. It gives developers the ability to use independent development environment (IDE) tools such as Visual Studio and Eclipse, and provides application design and ongoing mentoring services to ensure applications are successfully deployed.

An initial challenge Safelite faced was that many of its legacy back-end systems are developed internally, which can make integrating with new applications and devices difficult. However, the company worked through this issue using a middleware layer developed by Safelite. This enabled Safelite to quickly build multiple mobile client applications on top of the Dexterra platform—without changing their legacy software or writing low-level code to handle data transport.

Thanks to ongoing mentoring from Dexterra, Safelite completed their application development and began rolling out their new mobile applications to field service personnel. By capturing Safelite’s field service processes, the new mobile applications give users access to all the functions they need, whether they are connected to the network or offline. A streamlined, intuitive application interface also helps users come up to speed quickly, typically in just one hour.

“Our partner enablement program gives companies like Safelite an enormous head start in building their mobile applications,” said Jim Lambert, vice president of marketing at Dexterra. “Using our technology tools and services, developers can focus their efforts on creating mobile applications that address specific business needs for themselves or external end users. By sharing our expertise with Safelite, we were able to help them capture their field processes quickly and accelerate the application development cycle.”

Today Safelite’s field service organization has a real-time information flow that enables them to balance the service pool and allow their technicians to work more efficiently. Service technicians in markets where the technology has been implemented use their wireless handhelds to automate processes that used to be paper-based, including sending work orders, credit card processing, printing receipts, and obtaining customers’ signatures. This reduction in paperwork saves them as much as two hours every day, significantly increasing their productivity and job satisfaction. The national rollout of the technology will be completed market by market in the coming year.

Because of Dexterra’s open platform approach, Safelite also has the flexibility to swap out mobile devices without changing their software code, a key selling point for the company.

“The mobile world doesn’t wait,” noted Ghani. “Through the course of this project, we’ve replaced three very different handhelds and made a number of changes in the back office. With Dexterra, our code worked flawlessly every time. This means we can satisfy our current needs and still be ready for the future.”

About Safelite AutoGlass
Safelite AutoGlass is part of Belron US, a multi-faceted vehicle glass and claims management service organization based in Columbus, Ohio, and a subsidiary of Belron S.A. The company is composed of three major business operations that include vehicle glass fulfillment services, operating under the trade names Safelite AutoGlass®, Auto Glass Specialists®, and Elite Auto GlassTM; windshield manufacturing; and Safelite Solutions® fleet and insurance claims management services. The company employs more than 7,000 people throughout the United States.

Pitney Bowes Employs Antenna Software’s Mobile Field Service Solution as Integral Part of Global Customer Service Strategy

2008-04-08T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – April 8, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the availability of a case study detailing Pitney Bowes’ successful deployment of Antenna’s AMPower SERVICE™ solution to mobilize its field service operations. A forward-thinking, early adopter of mobile and wireless technologies, Pitney Bowes recognized early on the importance of mobility in its overall Customer Relationship Management (CRM) strategy. After starting with a practical mobile application for its U.S. field service organization in 2003, the company has since expanded its mobile capabilities by deploying Antenna’s solution to many more field service teams across the U.S., Europe and Canada. Today, thousands of service technicians depend on AMPower SERVICE to gain real-time access to critical customer and product information from back-end systems, including Siebel Field Service and SAP. The result is an enterprise-wide, customer-focused mobility solution that helps to drive significant improvements to inventory management, engineer productivity and customer satisfaction.

As a leader in the fast-growing mailstream industry, Pitney Bowes helps its customers create, produce, distribute and manage their mail, documents and packages. The company’s U.S.-based field service technicians are charged with keeping mailing systems running around the clock against tight Service Level Agreements (SLAs). By mobilizing field service operations with the AMPower SERVICE solution, powered by the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), Pitney Bowes was able to simplify and automate oft-used transactions such as ordering parts, closing out calls and logging time and expenses. This newfound efficiency helped to increase technician autonomy, improve customer care and accelerate response times.

“Antenna and Pitney Bowes are working together as true collaborators,” said Andreas Wetterwald, director field service and ECM applications, Pitney Bowes. “Using AMP, we have built a very good foundation and will continue to develop strategies and tactics to enhance, optimize and develop customer service processes and capabilities.”

Pitney Bowes chose Antenna’s hosted deployment option to offload the complexities of implementing and managing its wireless deployment via Antenna’s AMP Gateway™, the heart of AMP. AMP Gateway enables connectivity to U.S. and international wireless carriers and ensures the delivery of transactions between field personnel and the host applications. In the U.S. alone, Pitney Bowes field service technicians process 150,000 messages per day through AMP Gateway. Pitney Bowes developers also use Antenna’s AMP Studio™, Antenna’s model-driven mobile application development environment, to develop, maintain and enhance its AMPower SERVICE application.

Each field service organization has different wireless device requirements, but because AMP is open and flexible, Pitney Bowes is able to support multiple devices, wireless network and back-end systems, using a single mobile architecture. Today, it uses a broad mix of BlackBerry smartphones and Windows Mobile devices, and has the freedom and flexibility to change at any time to meet business needs.

“Pitney Bowes is a terrific example of a company that really ‘gets’ mobility and understands its importance as part of a CRM strategy and the enterprise as a whole,” said Jim Somers, vice president of marketing, Antenna Software. “We are proud of its achievements using Antenna’s platform and mobile solutions for field service and the vision and leadership it is demonstrating in a very demanding industry.”

Mobilizing Pitney Bowes’ back-end systems to its mobile field force in the U.S. organization took approximately six months to complete. Spurred on by the success of the U.S. deployment, Pitney Bowes also implemented the Antenna solution throughout Europe and Canada with similar positive effects on the business. In addition to reducing excess parts inventory by 22 percent, Pitney Bowes has achieved other substantial business benefits, including improved SLAs, call center efficiencies and cost reductions.

Antenna Software Launches AMP Location™ at the Gartner Wireless & Mobile Summit

2008-03-03T00:00:00-05:00

GARTNER Wireless & Mobile Summit, Chicago, IL., March 3, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced the immediate availability of AMP Location™ from the Gartner Wireless & Mobile Summit. As the open and flexible location-based services engine of the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), AMP Location enables organizations to simplify the integration and application of the latest GPS and Location-Based Services technologies into their mobile business solutions. The result is enhanced real-time visibility into their field workforces for higher productivity, better resource optimization and improved auditing and tracking capabilities.

According to Gartner, Inc., Hype Cycle for Wireless Devices, Software and Services, analysis by Monica Basso, June 29, 2007, “User organizations with numerous groups of employees moving frequently outside a fixed location — on a campus, or on a national or international basis — should consider the possible benefits of deploying applications that can provide information or support based on the actual geographical location of a person or asset in real time.”

Using AMP Location, companies can easily embed location-aware functionality into processes, workflows, and transactions in both client- and server-side applications. As such, mobile workers can access job-relevant maps and driving directions - within the context of their workflows - using any GPS-enabled or location-aware wireless device. Meanwhile, a Web-based dashboard provides dispatchers and managers with an up-to-the-minute view of workers and their job trails. AMP Location’s flexible architecture supports any GPS-enabled or location-aware wireless device on any network and is independent of any back-end system.

“The potential for Location-Based Services is huge, but with so many different vendors and options available to enterprises, it becomes a complex space to navigate,” said Jim Hemmer, CEO and president of Antenna Software. “With AMP Location, Antenna brings to market the most flexible and versatile location-based solution for our customers. Antenna's customers have the freedom to select the services that best meet their requirements, future-proof their mobile deployments, and simplify location-aware mobile application development – all of which enable tremendous agility for a company.”

AMP Location supports best-of-breed LBS solutions including TeleNav, Microsoft, and Google and leverages open and standard interfaces and APIs, including government resources and those made available through the wireless carrier networks. AMP Location is available now and comes fully integrated “out of the box” to work with Antenna’s AMPower mobile business solutions for sales, field service and IT support management using these two components:

AMP Location Client - Integrates directly with the mobile application on the wireless device, enabling mobile workers to get driving routes, maps and turn-by-turn directions from current position to a destination, using text and voice support and even real-time re-routing with traffic and weather overlays.
AMP Location Manager - A Web-based console that tracks the location and presence of field personnel by capturing and displaying periodic real-time geo-position updates from devices; thus giving dispatchers an up-to-the-minute view of workers and their job trails. It can also can also monitor and log when and where certain activities (for example: calls, emails, and job status updates) occur in the field. This allows companies to better track mileage traveled per field resource, time in/out of territories, and certain activities required for meeting regulatory and compliance mandates.

AMP Location is also available with AMP Studio™, Antenna’s mobile application development environment, for developers to easily embed location-aware functionality into processes, workflows, and transactions in both client- and server-side applications.

Pricing is an incremental cost per user and depends on number of users and deployment options. For more information, email sales@antennasoftware.com.

Antenna Software Makes Mobility Predictions for 2008

2008-01-09T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Jan. 9, 2008 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, and entering its tenth year in business, today announced its predictions for the mobile enterprise industry in 2008. Antenna has a wealth of experience and a unique vantage point at the heart of the mobility ecosystem. As such, Antenna CEO Jim Hemmer predicts that “several macro trends will drive growth in enterprise mobility, making it an integral part of every CIO’s playbook in 2008, ultimately becoming embedded in IT infrastructure in the years to follow.”

Antenna’s key predictions and insights for the year are as follows:

Mobile 2.0 = Mobile Innovation + Security: If 2007 hosted the coming out party for Web 2.0, 2008 will be when Mobile 2.0 emerges in terms of more collaborative and interactive mobile applications that take advantage of Location-Based Services (LBS), mobile Internet, video, Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) and presence. But as innovation drives user adoption within the enterprise, IT departments will increasingly look to vendors with best-in-class security and management capabilities to offset mounting concerns that hackers are beginning to target a growing handheld market.
Improving User Experience Drives Adoption: Consumerization of the enterprise was a big trend in 2007, and the launch of Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android platform will further elevate this concept into real deliverables on vendor and enterprise product roadmaps. Motivated by advances in the consumer market along with the collective demands of “Gen Yers” entering the workforce, companies will be expected to raise the bar on all facets of the user experience, especially through richer user interfaces and more personalized, easily accessible content.
Mobile Application Development Becomes Cool – and Profitable: The emergence of true high-impact mobile applications (beyond e-mail) for field sales, service and other organizations with mobile employees will largely be spurred on by a precipitous breakdown of the network carrier “walled gardens.” This follows the recent announcements by Google and Verizon along with the rise in usage of open source IDEs. Software developers will quickly recognize the value and profit of developing mobile applications for the enterprise just as they do for developing more traditional Web or PC applications.
Market Matures and Consolidates: Mobility will be a key strategic component for software applications and infrastructure in both consumer and enterprise markets. As more players enter the enterprise mobility industry, IT will look to consolidate vendors and seek out a mobile platform that can be used across the enterprise. Vendors that can offer flexibility and scalability for mobile applications – without a custom-build and intensive IT resources – will dominate.

DIRECTV™, an Antenna Software Customer, Wins Network World Enterprise All-Star Award

2007-12-18T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Dec. 18, 2007 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that its customer, DIRECTV, was honored with Network World’s Enterprise All-Star Award for its highly successful mobile CRM (customer relationship management) project. DIRECTV used Antenna’s AMPower™ SALES solution to provide its 75 area sales managers (ASMs) with real-time customer and product information in the field – allowing them to access essential data and manage accounts using their BlackBerry smartphones. Since deploying the mobile solution, DIRECTV has improved sales efficiency, productivity and problem resolution.

DIRECTV was challenged to provide its mobile salesforce with consistent, up-to-the minute marketing and sales information – without consuming valuable IT resources. DIRECTV found the solution in Antenna’s AMPower SALES mobile application, an on-demand solution that manages and guarantees delivery of bidirectional wireless communications and transactions between the device and the back-end system.

Since deploying AMPower SALES, DIRECTV has seen the following business benefits:

· 30 percent increase in the number of accounts that can be visited in a week
· More than 90 hours a week saved by the sales team
· Improved frequency of sales data reporting from seven days to one day
· Service request resolution shortened from five days to three days

“DIRECTV’s successful implementation of Antenna’s AMPower SALES caught the judges’ attention for its smart decision to mobilize its CRM on-demand applications,” said Beth Schultz, editor, Network World. “This achievement earns DIRECTV a 2007 Network World Enterprise All-Star Award for quickly boosting the sales team’s effectiveness and productivity.”

In its third year, Network World’s Enterprise All-Star Awards program honors user organizations that demonstrate exceptional use of network technology to further business objectives. This year’s competition drew more than 75 entrants, from which the publication selected the 10 companies that best illustrated how to capitalize on emerging technology or to implement more mature technology in new or particularly business-enhancing ways.

“When it comes to adopting cutting-edge, innovative technologies, DIRECTV has always been one step ahead – and this mobile CRM implementation will serve as a model for countless enterprises moving forward,” said Jim Somers, vice president of marketing, Antenna Software. “We are delighted that DIRECTV has been singled out for demonstrating that mobility not only adds value to an enterprise CRM system, but provides real and measurable business benefits on top of that.”

Antenna Software Outfits Pitney Bowes Canada with Enterprise Mobility Solution

2007-12-11T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Dec. 11, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that Pitney Bowes Canada will deploy its AMPower™ SERVICE solution to its 400 field technicians. Guided by the success that Pitney Bowes U.S. and Pitney Bowes Europe experienced with Antenna’s mobile field service solutions in their respective parts of the world, Pitney Bowes Canada selected Antenna’s mobile field service application to help customer service representatives improve productivity and better meet service level agreements (SLAs) with clients.

Pitney Bowes Canada’s service representatives spend most of their time in the field helping ensure that the company’s mailstream solutions are working properly and that customers’ documents and packages are flowing without interruption. Since Pitney Bowes provides business-critical equipment to its customers, it is imperative that SLAs are strictly enforced. Before AMPower SERVICE, the service representatives used mobile devices equipped with basic Web browsing capabilities to access back-end field service systems. However, they found this approach less than optimal in certain coverage areas.

The company turned to Antenna, with its specialized approach to enterprise mobility that automatically “pushes” information to the representatives in real time and enables them to work even when out of network coverage. With AMPower SERVICE, calls are automatically dispatched to representatives in the field, giving them the essential facts around customer requests right from their BlackBerry smartphones. This helps them to be fully accountable for managing service requests from start to finish, with little, if any, intervention required from the call center or management. Because the service representatives are better equipped to respond to calls and solve problems faster, Pitney Bowes Canada can expect to improve productivity, meet more SLAs and increase customer satisfaction.

“Antenna’s AMPower SERVICE solution has helped to enhance the overall mobility of Pitney Bowes’ U.S. and European field service operations,” said Jacques L’Africain, vice president, customer service, Pitney Bowes Canada. “Given the geographic diversity of the markets Pitney Bowes serves in Canada, this solution had much to offer our Canadian teams as well – plus, it supports numerous mobile devices and networks and fits easily into our existing IT environment. Its hosted approach also takes the management challenges off our hands, so we can refocus resources towards servicing our clients’ needs.”

Deployment to the entire field service workforce is scheduled to begin this month. The solution will run on BlackBerry smartphones and integrate into the company’s existing mainframe field service system.

“Pitney Bowes has been a true pioneer in using wireless technologies to accelerate and streamline business processes, and over the years has broadened its mobile orientation to become one of the most sophisticated mobile enterprises around today,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “We are extremely pleased that Pitney Bowes Canada has chosen Antenna to replicate the success of its U.S. and European counterparts, with the aim of achieving better inventory management, operational visibility and customer service excellence.”

AMPower SERVICE is a finely tuned mobile application that automates, optimizes and drives business-critical processes where it’s needed the most – at the point of service. It facilitates real-time, bidirectional communication between the field and the enterprise. Technicians can continue to interact with the application even when there is intermittent or no wireless coverage. Using AMPower SERVICE, field service workers are empowered with up-to-the-minute, mission-critical information to save time and money.

In April of this year, Antenna debuted the next generation of its Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), a powerful, standards-based technology platform that enables enterprise organizations to design, build, deploy and manage mobile business applications – including composite applications that integrate data and processes from multiple enterprise systems – using one unified environment.

Antenna Software Launches AMPower™ SUPPORT for BMC Remedy IT Service Management at BMC UserWorld 2007 in Vancouver

2007-10-29T00:00:00-04:00

VANCOUVER and JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Oct. 29, 2007 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, announced AMPower™ SUPPORT for BMC Remedy on the opening day of BMC’s UserWorld 2007. The out-of-the-box mobile solution delivers critical information and functionality that enables IT support staff to experience less downtime and complete more tasks, even while away from their desks. By providing support staff with real-time, anywhere access to time-sensitive information from a handheld wireless device – Antenna helps IT organizations to increase responsiveness, accelerate workflow and problem resolution and improve Service Level Agreement (SLA) commitments.

Companies are steadily embracing mobility to increase employee productivity, improve customer responsiveness and ensure data protection for regulatory compliance. According to Forrester Research’s June 2007 report entitled, “Buyers Yearn for Enterprise Mobility Leadership,” almost half of the firms interviewed ranked setting a mobile strategy and policy as a priority for 2007. In that report, respondents said they expect mobile voice, equipment and data service spending to grow to 29 percent of telecom and network budget – up from 26 percent in 2006. The report also cited that 63 percent of firms planned to increase mobile data spending and 56 percent expected to increase voice spending.

With AMPower SUPPORT for BMC Remedy, support technicians are automatically alerted with their relevant tasks and can make updates to the BMC Remedy database in real time – right from their wireless devices. The mobile solution allows support technicians to:

Receive alerts on new or updated cases or tasks
Accept or reject cases or tasks
View the details of cases or tasks, including contact, activity, asset and assessment information
Update cases with changes in status or other incident-related information
Update or add new tasks

Built on the powerful, standards-based Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), AMPower SUPPORT for BMC Remedy integrates directly with the BMC Remedy Action Request (AR) System via a Web services adapter. With the choice deploying either on demand or on premise, the solution can easily be configured to support business process customization made in BMC systems. It can also integrate with additional enterprise systems and wireless device platforms to create a single, powerful mobile composite application.

“With our roots deeply embedded in the customer service industry, Antenna truly understands the demands and challenges of support technicians to be effective and efficient,” said Karen Davis-Farage, vice president of business development, Antenna Software. “Antenna’s enterprise mobility solutions keep information flowing through an organization, enabling people to keep working productively even when they are on the go, which ultimately improves their responsiveness and quality of service.”

Antenna Software will be exhibiting at BMC UserWorld 2007. For more information, visit http://www.bmc.com/userworld/vancouver/index.html.

Antenna Software to Demonstrate AMPower™ SALES for NetSuite at NetSuite Revolution Conference

2007-10-24T00:00:00-04:00

SAN MATEO, Calif. and JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Oct. 24, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, and a NetSuite solution partner since 2005, today announced its plans to showcase its AMPower™ SALES for NetSuite solutions at NetSuite Revolution, Oct. 23-26, in San Francisco.

The topic is “NetSuite on Your Phone: The Mobility Shootout” and will highlight the return on investment and productivity benefits achievable through mobility.

Because NetSuite holds critical business data of a company – orders, invoices, Web site transactions, shipping records, time tracking and payroll data – the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex provide key tools for managing the company’s business. For example, Antenna’s AMPower™ SALES for NetSuite enables field sales organizations to have real-time access to their critical customer and business data from a handheld wireless device anywhere in the field, enabling sales team members to sell smarter and manage their accounts and administrative tasks more effectively.

Antenna’s solutions are built on the Antenna Mobility Platform™, an open, flexible and scalable environment for performance-driven companies that want to mobilize enterprise applications, but don’t want to worry about managing network connections and the other components of a typical mobile deployment. Antenna’s mobile applications, such as AMPower™ SALES for NetSuite, are designed for rapid deployment and easy integration with leading enterprise applications. With its comprehensive, standards-based solutions, enterprises have the tools to help improve and streamline business processes, increase workforce productivity, drive efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction.

“We’re pleased with the solid working relationship we’ve had with NetSuite and proud of the innovative mobile applications we’ve delivered for its customers,” said Davis-Farage. “As a member of the SuiteFlex Developer Program, Antenna plans to continue to provide high-quality, easy-to-use mobile solutions to field sales organizations, helping them to maximize their return on investment in NetSuite’s service.”

Antenna will be demonstrating AMPower™ SALES for NetSuite at NetSuite Revolution. For more information, visit the NetSuite Revolution web site.

About SuiteFlex and NetSuite’s SuiteFlex Developer Program
SuiteFlex is an application development platform that enables the creation of third-party vertical applications within NetSuite, as well as end-to-end business process customization for any end-user company. SuiteFlex includes several industry innovations, including additions to SuiteScript – perhaps the world’s first on-demand programming language. As a part of SuiteScript, NetSuite introduced Suitelets and SuiteScript UI Objects, allowing customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that can look and operate as if NetSuite’s own developers wrote them.

Of particular note, the survey found that 100 percent of respondents said they were likely to recommend Antenna as a mobile business solutions provider to a friend or colleague.

DIRECTV Adopts Antenna Software’s AMPower™ SALES to Deliver Real-Time CRM Data to Field Sales Managers

2007-09-25T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – September 25, 2007 – Antenna Software, delivering real business mobility to the world’s most demanding enterprises, today announced that DIRECTV, the industry leader in satellite service, has implemented AMPower™ SALES to provide mobile, real-time CRM data to its national sales force. Always at the forefront of innovation, DIRECTV recognized early on the value of empowering its sales force with mobile technologies as a way to build stronger relationships with its customers, optimize sales productivity and increase visibility into its sales operations. With AMPower SALES, DIRECTV sales managers have access to their Siebel CRM On Demand systems from virtually anywhere, enabling them to review dealer account information, record new service requests, pull key performance metrics and access the latest product and marketing information – all from their BlackBerry smartphones.

In its highly competitive market space, DIRECTV is constantly looking for ways to improve customer relationships. Keeping with its spirit of innovation, DIRECTV turned to Antenna Software to help mobilize its CRM system. The objective was to provide its 75 area sales managers, directors and vice presidents supporting 5,000 dealer networks across the country with the most up-to-date marketing and sales information – even while mobile in the field. With these metrics and other key customer data at hand, sales managers can increase their effectiveness, spending more face time with dealers, nurturing those relationships and making them as profitable as possible.

“We were looking for a mobile solution that would enable our sales managers to sit in front of a dealer and quickly and easily pull up metrics, including number of activations, financial data and open service requests,” said Erik Walters, manager of technical operations, DIRECTV. “We chose AMPower SALES mainly because it provided the most mobile functionality and flexibility, permitted the greatest amount of customization and required the least amount of support from the IT department.”

Since deploying AMPower SALES earlier this year, the DIRECTV sales team has saved more than 90 hours a week by mobilizing its CRM system. Additional business benefits due to AMPower SALES include:

Better Access to the Data: Sales managers have experienced a 100 percent increase in visibility to application data from internal systems. Instead of wading through potentially out-of-date, inaccurate data, they now have consistent information that is updated daily.
Improved Sales Efficiencies: Since adopting AMPower SALES, sales managers can do their jobs more quickly and customers benefit from seeing them more often. As a result, DIRECTV has seen a 30 percent increase in number of accounts that are visited each week.
Faster Problem Solving: With AMPower SALES, DIRECTV sales managers can solve problems in real time, which has reduced the amount of time it takes to resolve service requests from five days to three days, on average.
Smarter Selling: While out in the field, sales managers are now better equipped to help dealers understand the business of DIRECTV and the dynamics of selling subscriptions and services.

AMPower SALES was rolled out by DIRECTV in January 2007, extending Oracle’s Siebel CRM On Demand system to a mix of RIM BlackBerry 8700, 8800 and Pearl smartphones operating on the AT&T network.

AMPower™ SALES provides sales organizations with a complete, 360-degree view across all the facets of a customer relationship – accounts, opportunities, contacts, tasks and more – from an easy-to-use mobile application running on virtually any handheld device. By empowering sales teams with relevant and up-to-the-minute information, AMPower SALES shortens sales cycles, enables more sales appointments and improves visibility and responsiveness to customer needs. The result is more accurate communications, highly tuned customer care, increased revenues and a sharper competitive edge.

Antenna Software Delivers Mobile Merchandising Application to Heineken Ireland

2007-06-04T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – June 4, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., the leader in mobile enterprise technologies and solutions, has announced that Heineken Ireland has deployed a mobile merchandising application to its retail off-trade partners – believed to be one of the first in the country. The Antenna AMPower™ mobile merchandising application is deployed on RIM® BlackBerry smartphones across the O2 network and leverages Heineken’s Siebel CRM system.

Changing lifestyles, coupled with legislation regarding smoking in pubs and a clampdown on drinking and driving, has resulted in a growth in its off-trade business as greater numbers of customers prefer to drink at home. Heineken Ireland recognized the potential for enhancing its communications with its merchandising team by replicating the success of its mobile field service application, Antenna AMPower™ Service (formerly known as Antenna A³) that has been fully deployed to Draught Service Representatives throughout the country. Working in partnership with Heineken Ireland, RIM and O2, Antenna Software developed a mobile application that provides merchandisers up-to-date account information, journey plans to retail outlets and other important account information, for example, expected products, their positioning and number of facings.

Armed with this information, merchandisers are able to audit product facings and measure that retailers have complied with merchandising agreements and send data back to the office instantly. The Antenna mobile merchandising application integrates seamlessly with Siebel CRM system at Heineken Ireland, so that merchandisers can update the enterprise system directly from their BlackBerry devices.

“Merchandisers are key people in our off trade business,” explains Martin Gowran, IT Project Manager, Heineken Ireland. “By providing them with the AMPower application on a BlackBerry during their store visits, we are enabling them to easily audit our product presence and positioning, enabling us to monitor agreements with customers and also sell more beer”.

“By expanding its use of Antenna mobile solutions to both sales and service arms of the organization, Heineken is generating maximum return from its CRM investment”, commented Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “Now all customer-facing representatives have just the right information at their fingertips, enabling Heineken to be more agile and competitive in a very tight market.”

Antenna Software to Showcase AMP™ Studio Mobile Application Development Environment at Wireless Enterprise Symposium

2007-05-08T00:00:00-04:00

ORLANDO, Fla. and JERSEY CITY, N.J. – May 8, 2007 – Wireless Enterprise Symposium – Antenna Software, a leader in mobile enterprise technologies and solutions, will showcase its recently announced AMP^™ Studio mobile applications development platform this week at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium. Antenna Software works with the BlackBerry^® wireless solution from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM), to help organizations adopt enterprise mobility – putting important business information on the front lines, where it’s needed the most. Antenna Software and RIM have helped many organizations extend the value of their back-end CRM, ERP and SFA systems out to the fingertips of their field workers. Antenna Software’s proven, enterprise-grade mobility solutions will be showcased at the event through actual product demonstrations, as well as case studies from joint customers with RIM – Toshiba America Medical Systems (TAMS) and IntraLase, an Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) company.

Last month, Antenna Software announced AMP Studio, its open, standards-based development environment for enterprises that want to mobilize their business applications quickly, easily and cost effectively, with little or no custom coding required. AMP Studio works with the BlackBerry^® Enterprise Server to bring enterprise applications to BlackBerrysmartphones. With AMP Studio running on the Antenna Mobility Platform^™, enterprises can take advantage of the platform’s unique, model-driven approach – empowering companies to build a single composite application, and deploy it simultaneously across multiple devices, all from a single platform.

“Since Antenna Software started providing mobile business solutions a decade ago, our customers’ requirements for mobility have been steadily progressing,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO of Antenna Software. “Initially, it was about helping employees communicate through mobile voice, e-mail and simple messaging. Then remote data access became critical. Today, we’re starting to see the next wave of mobility unfold where companies recognize that mobility needs to be more deeply embedded in business processes. The Antenna Mobility Platform helps companies adopt these best practices to stay competitive and position their companies for success in the future.”

“As more and more employees and organizations experience the multifaceted benefits of the BlackBerry platform firsthand, there is a natural interest in mobilizing more business functions,” said Jeff McDowell, Vice President, Global Alliances, Research In Motion. “The Antenna Mobility Platform and AMP Studio can help customers maximize the value of their investments in wireless systems and provide mobile workers with even greater access to timely and relevant information on the front lines, where they need it most.”

A demonstration of AMP Studio will take place at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium in the developers’ lab on Wednesday, May 9, between 10:00 a.m.-noon EST. In addition, two Antenna Software and RIM customers will discuss the ROI from their mobility solutions in separate case study presentations:

IntraLase, an AMO company and provider of ophthalmic laser technology for LASIK and corneal procedures, will discuss how customer support engineers throughout North America use the Antenna AMPower^™ Service solution on BlackBerry smartphones.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES ITS NEXT-GENERATION MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

2007-04-23T00:00:00-04:00

GARTNER SYMPOSIUM/ITxpo, SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., the leader in mobile enterprise technologies and solutions, today announced AMP™ Studio, a completely model-driven, standards-based development environment for mobile business applications. An integral part of the Antenna Mobility Platform™ (AMP), AMP Studio gives enterprise developers and partner software vendors the tools they need to build, deploy and mobilize existing enterprise applications quickly, easily, and cost-effectively, with little or no custom coding required. By using AMP Studio, businesses can now take advantage of the same platform Antenna has used for almost a decade to develop field-proven mobile solutions for many of today’s most recognized brands and mobility pioneers, including Pitney Bowes, Toshiba America Medical Systems, EMC, Heineken Ireland, and Xerox.

According to Gartner, “by 2009, 50% of enterprises will have migrated away from tactical mobile application silos (supporting a single application) to strategic platforms capable of supporting multiple applications, managing devices, and securing data and transport (0.7 probability)¹.” As the demand for mobile enterprise applications continues to grow, fueled by more powerful and lower-priced devices, AMP Studio enables businesses to take mobility to this strategic level, mobilizing multiple applications across multiple devices from a single platform. Unlike proprietary development tools with limited deployment options, AMP Studio leverages Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and standard technologies such as Web Services, XML/XSD/XSL, Java™. The result is a simple, graphical, and unified system for the ongoing development and maintenance of mobile applications that reduces development time from months to weeks, even days.

“Mobility has the power to transform business,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “Antenna has been at the forefront of this industry since its inception, defining many of the mobility best practices that have earned us the respect of our customers, our partners and industry experts, alike. AMP Studio leverages this wealth of experience to deliver the most open, flexible and comprehensive development environment available today for mobilizing business applications. With this release of AMP Studio, the goal of true business mobility is real, and accessible to all organizations that want to extend the value of their software investments beyond the walls of the office.”

AMP Studio marks a new era in mobility by removing the obstacles previously encountered with developing mobile enterprise solutions – proprietary development environments, custom and complex coding, lengthy time to deployment, and limited deployment options. AMP Studio:

Ensures control and flexibility of mobile deployment

Integration adapters to 50+ enterprise systems including Oracle, Siebel, SAP, Amdocs Clarify, NetSuite, QAD, as well as legacy and home-grown systems
Device independent - developers can write once and run across multiple device types such as RIM BlackBerry, Palm Treo and Windows Mobile-based devices
Flexible deployment options: either on-demand or on-premise or a hybrid of both

Optimizes business processes and workflows

Multiple access paths (real-time, offline, voice, messaging) to multiple systems
Pre-built application templates and workflows for field service, field sales, merchandising, retail, asset management, and other applications
Composite application support - data from multiple enterprise applications can be incorporated into a single integrated application that maps to an individual’s work style and process requirements

Maximizes ROI of existing systems

Standards-based platform leverages existing systems, architecture, and IT skills
More value obtained from existing enterprise systems through increased user adoption and more reliable, accurate data
Simple to maintain, adaptable to future changes

Along with its announcement of AMP Studio, Antenna is also announcing a strategic alliance with AT&T to co-market and sell mobility solutions into the enterprise. Underpinning this agreement is AT&T’s decision to use Antenna’s AMP Studio to mobilize its own Siebel CRM system and extend it to its wireless Sales Executives, Data Solutions Consultants, Enterprise Architects, and Business Data Solutions (BDS) employees on a mix of popular business-oriented handheld devices. After a brief training session, AT&T’s development team quickly started mobilizing the Siebel CRM application.

“The mobile sales force automation solution being developed with AMP Studio will help make our sales organization more productive by enabling sales representatives to have access to critical customer information when and where they need it,” said Charlie Bolton, vice president, global and strategic sales, for AT&T.

Antenna will continue to design, build and deploy comprehensive business mobility solutions for customers that wish to leverage the company’s mobility resources and expertise. But for companies that want to do it themselves, AMP Studio gives them a simple, flexible and cost-effective option for the ongoing development and management of these mobile enterprise solutions without having to rely on specialized IT resources.

Antenna is also offering the AMP Studio to its new and existing partner organizations, including carriers, ISVs and System Integrators, enabling them to enhance and optimize their mobility solutions capabilities and ultimately address their customers’ growing needs.

AMP Studio is available immediately via an enterprise license, which can be paid monthly or as a one-time fee. Pricing depends upon overall size of implementation.

AT&T AND ANTENNA SOFTWARE JOIN FORCES TO TRANSFORM WIRELESS CRM

2007-04-23T00:00:00-04:00

SAN FRANCISCO, Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, April 23, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., a leader in mobile enterprise technologies and solutions, today announced that it has aligned with AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) to jointly market and sell best-in-class mobile customer relationship management (CRM) solutions powered by AT&T’s wireless data network into the enterprise market. This relationship gives AT&T customers access to Antenna’s enterprise-ready mobile solutions for Oracle Siebel and Siebel CRM On Demand on a variety of wireless devices.

AT&T is also using AMP Studio, Antenna’s mobile application development environment, an integral part of the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), to wirelessly enable Siebel CRM and deploy to its wireless business-to-business sales team on BlackBerry, Palm and Pocket PC devices. AT&T’s wireless sales representatives will have the ability to view, update and create accounts, opportunities and contacts, as well as review contract and order information in real time from their wireless handheld.

“Our alliance with Antenna Software underscores how wireless data is exploding across the enterprise space,” said Jeff Bradley, vice president, wireless business data services, for AT&T. “Companies are now moving beyond wireless e-mail and exploring other business processes that can be extended to a mobile environment using their existing wireless handheld assets. This powerful offering from AT&T and Antenna Software is an outstanding example of these types of ‘next-generation’ wireless data solutions that companies will be able to deploy quickly and easily right into the palms of their mobile employees’ hands.”

The alliance between Antenna and AT&T is a significant next step in the companies’ five-year relationship, and aligns the strengths of both companies to make mobile CRM truly enterprise-ready. By tightly coupling ATT’s wireless data network and Antenna’s mobile solution, organizations can leverage each of the companies’ many years of experience in the mobile marketplace to reap the benefits of a comprehensive and field-proven wireless solution.

With Antenna and AT&T, businesses can now easily and quickly automate, enhance and extend the complex daily business processes of sales, and strategically tie in data from other enterprise systems, so that customers can enjoy maximum reliability, performance, and transaction integrity.

AT&T and Antenna will offer dedicated sales and marketing resources to drive enterprise CRM adoption.

“The comprehensive go-to-market plan defined by Antenna and AT&T is based on the foundation of success we have developed over the past five years, including several joint customer wins and award-winning enterprise deployments,” said Jim Hemmer, CEO and president of Antenna Software. “Together, we are now positioned to lead by example, highlighting the importance of mobility and demonstrating the flexibility and extensibility of key business applications, all of which will accelerate net new business opportunities.”

“The next few years represent a transitional period when companies should begin optimizing their mobility initiatives,” said Michael King, Mobile & Wireless Research Director at Gartner. “Enterprises should look to invest in strategic mobile solutions -- capable of supporting multiple applications, managing devices, and securing data and transport -- and limit tactical deployments that support only single applications.”

ANTENNA SOFTWARE WINS 2006 PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD

2007-02-27T00:00:00-05:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J., February 27, 2007 – Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of wireless software solutions for the mobile enterprise, today announced it was presented the 2006 Product of the Year Award from Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine for its A³ SmartCopy software. Antenna was recognized for its work in helping Lumenis, a global leader in medical and aesthetic lasers and light-based technology, to deliver mission-critical information to the mobile hand-held devices of its field engineers, enabling them to better serve their customers and be more productive.

Last year, Lumenis deployed Antenna’s A³ Field Service Intelligence (FSI) mobile solution on the Pocket PC devices of 70 field engineers, enabling them to access and interact with live inventory and service call data from the company’s MFG/Pro Customer Management system. A³ FSI has enabled the Lumenis field engineers to have access to ‘run the business’ information in real-time from virtually any customer location. However, it was the company’s decision to deploy Antenna’s innovative A³ SmartCopy, integrated with the FSI solution, that has garnered the recognition from Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine.

A³ SmartCopy enhances the scope of meaningful work that can be accomplished away from the office. Upon completion of a customer visit, Lumenis field engineers are able to dynamically create and send a signed hard copy of a service report right from their handheld device. The report is automatically filled-in with customer information captured in real-time and can be sent instantly via fax or email, saving hours of administrative time and ensuring compliance with FDA regulations.

“Our customers continue to lead the way in demonstrating the business value of mobilizing critical enterprise applications,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “We are pleased that Antenna has been recognized for its innovative mobile solutions and congratulate Lumenis for its outstanding use of Antenna’s A³ SmartCopy to respond faster and more intelligently to its customers’ needs.”

“Each year, Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine recognizes companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements,” said Nadji Tehrani, Executive Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Customer Inter@ction Solutions. “Antenna has proven they are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future.”

Selected by the editors of Customer Inter@ction Solutions, this annual award is given to those companies that introduce groundbreaking products to the mobile technology industry. Customer Inter@ction Solutions editors selected the companies which in their view demonstrate the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the prestigious Product of the Year award winners.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE SIGNALS HEALTH OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS MARKET

2006-12-19T00:00:00-05:00

Jersey City, New Jersey– December 19, 2006 -- Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of wireless software for the mobile enterprise, has announced that one of the world’s top semiconductor equipment manufacturers has selected the Antenna A³ Field Service Intelligence (FSI) solution to mobilize its field service operations. This is the latest win in a hugely successful year for Antenna Software, in which it increased its customer base in the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pac and grew A³ SmartClient product revenues by 91 percent over 2005. To cap it off, Antenna won numerous industry awards throughout the year and was positioned as a challenger in Gartner’s MultiChannel Access Gateways Quadrant for 2006.

Commenting on this growth, Sheryl Kingstone director of Enterprise Research at the Yankee Group said, “2006 has seen two strong trends emerging: the resurgence of software as a service and the maturation of mobility beyond email towards delivering live CRM, ERP and sales data to employees’ mobile devices. Through its integration with leading business applications such as NetSuite, Siebel and SAP and its strong partnership with the carriers, Antenna can address the top needs of their customers and deliver composite mobile enterprise applications on an array of devices.”

Antenna currently has 125,000 users in production and handles 15 million mobile transactions each month. Antenna’s investment in its own network operation centers enables the company to provide an on-demand deployment model with 24x7 network monitoring to guarantee mobile message delivery on any network worldwide. Antenna's operations environment and IT infrastructure were rigorously evaluated by an independent CPA firm and are certified to be compliant with SysTrust's principles of Confidentiality and Security. As the only mobility vendor earning this distinction, Antenna’s customers and partners can have the utmost confidence in its ability to provide reliable and secure services for management of critical business data. Antenna’s hosted service was also recognized as an industry best practice in October by The National Outsourcing Association, which awarded Antenna “Best IT Outsourcing Project 2006” for customer Pitney Bowes UK.

In addition, more industry accolades were received throughout the year. Readers of GoMobile voted for Antenna A³ to collect a “Bright Star” in the Mobile Village Awards and Antenna customer Toshiba America Medical Systems won the Mobilizer Award for best return on investment for their enterprise mobility project, awarded by Mobile Enterprise magazine. In April 2006, the same customer also won the “Best Service and Support Strategy Implementation” for its deployment of Antenna A³.

Recognized for its work with customer EMC Corporation, Antenna received Research in Motion’s Wireless Leadership award for Business Impact at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium and yet another leading high-tech customer received the CRM Excellence Award, voted by readers of Customer Inter@ction Magazine. Most recently, Heineken Ireland won the “Inspired use of IT in Manufacturing” award for its deployment of Antenna Software’s A³ solution to mobilize its field service operations.

New customers gained on both sides of the Atlantic plus widespread adoption from existing customers earned Antenna recognition as the tenth fastest growing company in North America and the fastest growing technology company in New Jersey in Deloitte’s 2006 Technology Fast 500 and Fast 50 rankings.

“Over the past several years, we have listened to our customers and partners closely to understand their needs and the demands of this dynamic market,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “Antenna’s tremendous success this year clearly reflects this understanding.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE TO SHOWCASE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS FOR ORACLE® CRM APPLICATIONS AT ORACLE OPENWORLD

2006-10-23T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J., October 23, 2006 – Antenna Software, Inc., a certified partner in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork and leading provider of wireless software solutions for the mobile enterprise, today announced plans to showcase its mobile solutions for Oracle® CRM, including Oracle’s Siebel and Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise applications at Oracle OpenWorld, October 22-26 in San Francisco. Antenna will be the only company that provides end-to-end mobile solutions capable of supporting multiple devices and networks to exhibit at the event.

To validate the success of its wireless solutions for Oracle applications, Antenna has reported a 100% increase in customers adopting its Antenna A³ mobile solution for Oracle’s Siebel CRM On Demand, including MedImmune and Boise Cascade, since the beginning of 2006. During the conference, Antenna will demonstrate to Oracle users the measurable ROI it provides through empowering employees with real-time access to Siebel CRM and other enterprise data via a mobile handheld device. Antenna will also demonstrate its unique ability to develop mobile composite applications, which combine data and business logic from multiple Oracle and/or other enterprise CRM and ERP applications, resulting in functionality that maps to users’ specific workflows and frees them from a “siloed” approach to working.

“Our relationship with Oracle has borne many successful joint customers and continues to gain momentum. We look forward to helping more Oracle customers maximize the business value of their Oracle applications by extending critical functionality and information to mobile employees,” said Karen Davis-Farage, Vice President of Business Development for Antenna Software. “For both field service and field sales organizations, real-time wireless access to enterprise data has proven to be an enabler for newfound operational efficiency and more responsive service to customers.”

Antenna A³ Field Service Intelligence (FSI) and Mobile Sales Intelligence (MSI) solutions extend and enhance Oracle business applications, enabling mobile workers to easily and securely interact with essential customer and business information in real time using any device operating on any network. For service organizations, this means increased revenues, lower costs and greater customer satisfaction. For sales organizations, the result is shorter sales cycles, less downtime, and more profitable customer relationships.

“We are pleased to have Antenna Software participate as an exhibitor at Oracle OpenWorld,” said Tom Herrmann, Vice President, Worldwide ISV Management and Programs at Oracle. “This gives our customers the opportunity to see first-hand how to extend Oracle business applications wirelessly with little or no custom development.”

LEADING ANALYST FIRM PLACES ANTENNA SOFTWARE IN THE CHALLENGERS QUADRANT IN MULTICHANNEL ACCESS GATEWAYS MAGIC QUADRANT 2H06

2006-10-16T00:00:00-04:00

JERSEY CITY, N.J., October 16, 2006 – Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of wireless software solutions for the mobile enterprise, today announced that it has been positioned as a Challenger in Gartner Inc.’s new ‘Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Access Gateways, 2H06’, published October 6, 2006, and authored by William Clark, Nick Jones, and Michael J. King. Gartner evaluated over 15 middleware, application vendors, and mobile specialists based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.

According to Gartner, “MAGs form an important cornerstone of any mobile strategy by allowing IT departments to create and enforce an architectural, rather than a tactical, approach to multichannel solutions, and to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by 30% to 50% for mobile application deployments over 3GL frameworks like .NET.”

“We believe Antenna’s position in the Challengers Quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is recognition that we provide our customers with a mobility solution that delivers outstanding business value and ROI,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO for Antenna Software. “Antenna is committed to leading the market with innovative technology that mobilizes enterprise systems and maximizes their impact on productivity, process flow, and profitability.”

Gartner estimates that “by 2009, 50% of enterprises will have migrated away from tactical mobile application silos (supporting a single application) to strategic platforms capable of supporting multiple applications, managing devices, and securing data and transport (0.7 probability).”

Antenna A³ Field Service Intelligence (FSI) and Mobile Sales Intelligence (MSI) solutions extend and enhance enterprise CRM and ERP systems including Siebel, SAP, PeopleSoft Enterprise, and Amdocs. This enables mobile workers to easily and securely interact with essential customer and business information in real time using any device operating on any network. In addition, the Antenna A³ solution offers the ability to create mobile composite applications, which combine data and business logic from multiple enterprise systems into a single wireless application that improves and accelerates field-based knowledge and workflow.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE AND PITNEY BOWES WIN NATIONAL OUTSOURCE AWARD

2006-10-16T00:00:00-04:00

Jersey City, New Jersey – October 16, 2006 – Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of hosted enterprise mobility applications, announced that it has won the IT Outsourcing Project of the Year 2006, at this month’s National Outsource Awards. Antenna was recognised for its work with customer Pitney Bowes UK, which standardised on Antenna’s hosted A³ SmartClient Solution to deliver Siebel and SAP updates for field service tasks directly to the handheld devices of Pitney Bowes engineers throughout Europe.

The Pitney Bowes field service mobility project was judged by the National Outsource Award to have demonstrated best practice and innovation; tangible return on investment and strong evidence that the outsourced service met the project objectives, in terms of improved levels of customer service and efficiency.

Pitney Bowes’ mailstream hardware, services and solutions help more than 2 million companies manage their flow of mail, documents and packages. Much of the Pitney Bowes equipment is business-critical and therefore break/fix service level agreements have to be strictly enforced. Pitney Bowes deployed Antenna’s hosted A³ SmartClient mobile application to its field engineering team throughout Europe.

“We are delighted to have received this award. Pitney Bowes UK demonstrated real innovation in the way that it used our hosted service to mobilise SAP and Siebel updates to its European field service team at the same time as rolling out Siebel at the back end,” said Jim Hemmer, CEO of Antenna Software. “By choosing a fully-hosted mobility solution as a key component of its overall CRM strategy, Pitney Bowes UK proves it is a market leader when it comes to leveraging technology to increase efficiency and deliver customer service excellence.”

“The beauty of the hosted Antenna A³ solution is its flexibility. It integrates really easily with multiple business systems, in our case Siebel and SAP, and supports multiple mobile devices and wireless networks”, reports Ray Lawes, VP Service Operations, Pitney Bowes UK. “Antenna’s support of different devices from a single application also means that we can be confident in our ability to rapidly respond to market changes and realise further ROI through deployment of future wireless applications.”

Using Antenna A³ SmartClient, service calls logged in Pitney Bowes Siebel CRM system are automatically dispatched to engineers’ mobile devices in real time, allowing them to update the status of customer service calls and order parts directly from their Windows Pocket PC devices. This provides realtime visibility of field operations to the business and has reduced operational cost, delivered greater operational efficiency and improved customer experience. Antenna Software delivers round the clock network monitoring from two independent Network Operation Centres, to guarantee message delivery to the engineers.

Martyn Hart, chairman of the National Outsourcing Association commented, “Antenna Software was recognised for its innovation in the implementation of the project. The project demonstrated a good use of technology, pulling together a wide range of IT functionality for non-specialist users. Cracking the effective communications between field service and central applications hosting was another project achievement that was noted.”

Jersey City, New Jersey -- May 18, 2006 -- Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of wireless software solutions for the mobile enterprise, announced that it received the Business Impact Award at the 2006 Wireless Enterprise Symposium, presented by Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM), as part of RIM’s Wireless Leadership Awards. Antenna was recognized for its work with customer EMC Corporation, deploying the mobile solution with the greatest business impact. The inaugural Wireless Leadership Awards were established to recognize RIM partners and customers for their innovation and results in deploying wireless solutions.

“We’re pleased to receive such high recognition from our long-time partner Research In Motion, and congratulate EMC’s Customer Service organization for their outstanding use of mobile technology to streamline their field service organization,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “EMC’s deployment of Antenna’s A³ Field Service Intelligence is a strong example of the tremendous capabilities and opportunities that mobility provides to Antenna’s enterprise customers.”

“Enterprise customers are increasingly deploying wireless solutions that change the way organizations communicate and conduct business,” said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. “We are pleased to recognize Antenna and EMC for deploying a BlackBerry based solution that allows field service teams to report with greater accuracy and speed, providing measurable results in both workflow efficiencies and customer service.”

EMC Corporation is a world leader in products, services, and solutions for information management and storage. EMC’s Customer Service organization uses Antenna Software mobile applications and BlackBerry® from RIM to provide on-demand access to customer information for more than 1450 field service engineers in 75 countries. Antenna’s A³ Field Service Intelligence suite leverages BlackBerry to provide EMC Customer Service field engineers with an “always-on” capability that enables them to complete business-critical tasks such as on-site service support, inventory control, real-time invoicing, and service history updates. EMC personnel can receive and provide real-time service updates, as well as billing and inventory information.

“We wanted to enable EMC’s Customer Service field service engineers to update multiple corporate systems with a single, wireless platform for greater speed – and provide a higher level of accuracy and efficiency in reporting real-time information,” added Hemmer. “Leveraging BlackBerry, Antenna provided an out-of-the-box solution with best practices built in, but also configured the solution to fit EMC’s needs.”

“EMC strives for excellence in everything we do and we are honored to receive this recognition from RIM with Antenna,” said Cynthia Curtis, Senior Director, EMC Customer Service Marketing. “When it comes to service and support, EMC is committed to providing customers with the best total customer experience. Antenna’s A³ Field Service Intelligence Suite for BlackBerry helps us ensure that EMC Customer Service engineers receive the valuable, time-sensitive data needed to deliver award-winning support no matter where they are in the field.”

FIELD SERVICE DEPLOYMENT

2006-05-10T00:00:00-04:00

Jersey City, New Jersey, May 10, 2006 – Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of wireless software solutions for the mobile enterprise, announced that Toshiba America Medical Systems received the award for "Best Service & Support Strategy Implemented In 2006" at the Field Service 2006 conference, presented by Worldwide Business Research. Toshiba America Medical Systems won the award for its use of Antenna Software’s A³ Field Service Intelligence suite (FSI), which reduces service costs, decreases response times while increasing revenue and customer satisfaction.

The Field Service Awards were established to honor, recognize and promote best practices in customer service & support. Nominations were submitted by field service organizations across North America, and finalists and eventual winners were selected by a panel of distinguished professionals from the field service industry.

“We congratulate Toshiba America Medical Systems for receiving this prestigious award,” said Jim Hemmer, President and CEO of Antenna Software. “Leading-edge companies like Toshiba are maximizing their use of mobile technology to deliver outstanding service, and their customers are taking notice. Antenna Software is pleased to partner with Toshiba to deliver an award-winning mobile service and support strategy.”

Many of Toshiba America Medical System’s customers are medical facilities that depend on the company to keep their imaging devices (CT, MRI, Ultrasound and X-ray technologies) up and running. Toshiba uses the RIM BlackBerry® device with Antenna Software’s A³ Field Service Intelligence suite to connect its service engineers with the information they need to solve customers’ problems. By delivering real-time access to Amdocs Clarify CRM application, Antenna A³ Field Service Intelligence provides the “always-on” capability required by Toshiba’s customer engineers to complete tasks such as ordering parts, generating invoices, and updating service histories.

“Our customer service has already experienced great improvement thanks to Antenna Software,” said David Croteau, InTouch Manager, Toshiba America Medical Systems. “It isn’t just about dollars and cents. We have already decreased the number of false starts on each service call, and because of our real-time reporting capability and on-demand data access, we’re seeing fewer escalated cases.”

Antenna customers Siemens Business Services and Abbott Laboratories were also selected as finalists for the "Best Service & Support Strategy Implemented In 2006." Siemens Business Services is one of the world’s leading IT service providers, and Abbott is a global health care company that develops and manufactures pharmaceuticals and medical products. Both companies use Antenna Software mobile applications as a key component of their field service strategy.

These three companies are just a few examples of satisfied Antenna Software customers. Antenna recently completed its quarterly customer satisfaction survey, in which 97.5% of the respondents graded Antenna’s customer service as very good or excellent. Respondents also included comments such as: “Antenna provides a very reliable service for us, and has done so for nearly ten years”; “You have people with an apparent passion for delivery of mobile technology solutions”; “Antenna is responsive, knowledgeable and goes beyond the call of duty consistently”; “The relationship has always been and continues to be more of a strategic partnership rather than vendor/customer.”

“Antenna’s focus on customer service is a key differentiator for us,” Hemmer said. “Our customers know they can count on us to ensure they’re getting the most from their mobile technology, and our exceptional support is a key factor in the award-winning field service strategies employed by Toshiba, Siemens and Abbott.”

Jersey City, NJ, May 03, 2006 – Antenna Software, Inc. today announced that it has shipped A³ Mobile Sales Intelligence (MSI) suite for NetSuite’s NetFlex Applications Program, enabling field sales organizations to have real-time, on-demand wireless access to critical ERP, E-commerce and CRM data. The Antenna A³ MSI suite supports popular handheld devices including the RIM BlackBerry, Palm Treo, and Windows Mobile Pocket PCs on all carrier networks.

As the premier on-demand wireless CRM solution, Antenna A³ Mobile Sales Intelligence is uniquely able to integrate and deliver complex NetFlex services and data to mobile professionals. With a highly intuitive user-interface, Antenna A³ MSI ensures rapid deployment, end-user adoption, and requires minimal management requirements for mobile deployments.

“We are very pleased to be a NetFlex Applications Program partner and to bring the benefits of Antenna A³ Mobile Sales Intelligence to NetSuite customers and prospects,” said Karen Davis-Farage, Vice President, Business Development, Antenna Software. “The NetFlex platform provides an extremely flexible and comprehensive method to integrate NetSuite CRM with the Antenna A³ Mobile Sales Intelligence suite. Our joint customers will not only benefit from robust, real-time CRM access delivered at their point of critical need, but as both solutions are truly on-demand, they will also enjoy significantly higher ROI and lower TCO then other mobile CRM approaches.”

Because NetSuite is the “system of record” spanning ERP, E-commerce and CRM, the range of applications built using its NetFlex environment is far more powerful than applications built on stand-alone, point-product applications. NetSuite’s order management, inventory management, shipping management, and payroll and financial data are the lifeblood of most companies, and now such data can be accessed by customers using Antenna’s A³ MSI suite.

With more than two decades’ operating experience, Antenna Software was founded to help performance-driven companies improve the effectiveness of their field sales and service organizations using innovative on-demand wireless and data transaction management technologies. Antenna has more than 100 customers and 100,000 users in over 40 countries, and manages more than 12 million monthly mobile transactions.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATES A3 MOBILE SOLUTIONS FOR BLACKBERRY AT GOVERNMENT SECURITY EXPO (GovSec 2004)

2004-07-27T00:00:00-04:00

(Jersey City, NJ) July 27, 2004 - Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of wireless solutions for the mobile enterprise, announced today a robust package of Antenna A3 wireless solutions for field personnel in the government sector. The three-tiered offering is tailored to meet the specific time-critical data requirements of field organizations via RIM handheld wireless devices on Cingular Wireless' Mobitex network. Antenna's A3 applications enable field personnel to remain in constant communication, access real-time work orders and customer data from back-end systems and respond quickly to events. Antenna will be showing Antenna A3 solutions in the Cingular Wireless booth (#3213) at the GovSec conference in Washington, D.C. on July 28th and 29th.

The Antenna A3 offering is designed to operate on RIM BlackBerry devices, including the 957 and 950 handheld devices, and is available in three solution packages designed to satisfy the requirements of, and achieve rapid ROI for, organizations of differing size and operational need:

1. The Antenna Messaging package provides two-way messaging on the RIM Blackberry 950 and 957 devices using Antenna's powerful A3 MobileManager application. Now, Government Agencies and Enterprise customers that have already deployed RIM handhelds can further leverage their investment by adding unique dispatch and scheduling features such as user management, group messaging, and delivery status reporting. Emergency notifications, rapidly changing safety or security conditions and even sudden shifts in business or competitive markets are all opportunities where immediate, ad-hoc communication with employees is essential.

2. The Antenna Messaging Plus package includes all the features of the Antenna Messaging with the added benefits of more advanced messaging functions on the RIM 957 device. Antenna Messaging Plus includes the Antenna A3 Escalation Manager for advanced escalation process management. This integrated capability automates the normally unwieldy and error-prone process of ensuring that messages are handled correctly if not responded to promptly or if other message conditions occur. Using Antenna's Escalation Manager user-defined work flow rules and exception handling procedures guarantee messages are always managed correctly in response to delivery issues such as lack of user acknowledgement, invalid PIN or a device that is unreachable. Also included in the Antenna Messaging Plus, is Antenna's flexible, CIS host interface. This interface allows field personnel to wirelessly interact directly and securely with their back-end systems via a RIM device.

3. The Antenna Enterprise offering combines all the features of the Antenna Messaging Plus with two additional components that help organizations reap the full benefit of mobile enterprise technology - the Antenna A3 Mobility Dashboard, and the Antenna A3 SmartClient & A3 Studio modules. The A3 Mobility Dashboard is a Web-based portal that provides access to advanced Antenna modules such as Real-Time Status Board and Device Manager. Real-Time Status Board provides comprehensive, at-a-glance views of users, message statuses and in-depth visibility into transaction details. Device Manager is an integrated asset management and wireless administration tool that provides IT managers and service supervisors complete control over devices in the field; it includes critical functions like remote password modification and application locks in the event a device is lost or stolen.

In many instances, organizations require secure, real-time, bi-directional access to critical back-end enterprise systems such as Siebel, SAP, Peoplesoft and others via their RIM BlackBerry device. The Antenna Enterprise offering also incorporates the Antenna A3 SmartClient application suite, which includes comprehensive field service, sales force, and knowledge management modules. Taking advantage of the Mobitex store-and-forward functionality, Antenna A3 SmartClient users can continue using the application even without wireless coverage (for example, in a basement or hospital), greatly increasing their productivity and efficiency. Antenna's A3 Studio is a full-featured wireless application development environment. With it, users can customize their applications, and configure work flows and business processes using the Antenna's powerful built-in scripting language to exactly meet their needs. In addition, all application installations, modifications, and updates take place wirelessly, or "over-the-air", allowing IT administrators to send out application updates and installs without requiring users to dock their device.

"Antenna's RIM BlackBerry based offerings meet the complex needs of both the government and commercial markets by driving valuable, time-sensitive data to the point of consumption by field personnel," said Peter Semmelhack, Chairman, CTO, Antenna Software, Inc. "This approach elevates customer relationships and delivers true business value through increased quality of service and improved personnel productivity."

Mobitex is the world's leading system for dedicated wireless data, providing a highly secure environment, the highest levels of reliability, faster data delivery and extensive seamless coverage. Cingular operates the largest Mobitex network in the U.S., which covers 93% of U. S. business population, including 492 Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 130 airports.

WORLD LEADER IN AIR-CONDITIONING, HEATING, AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS DEPLOYS ANTENNA SOFTWARE

2004-07-21T00:00:00-04:00

(Jersey City, NJ) July 21, 2004 - Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of integrated mobile enterprise solutions, announced today that one of the world's top providers of commercial and residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems has successfully deployed the Antenna A3 Field Service Management solution.

Using the Antenna A3 mobile solution, the company provides its 1300 service technicians and managers with the ability to send and receive real-time work order updates using Nextel phones. Functionality includes automated dispatch of service calls, real-time communications of work order details to technicians, and automated business rules and escalation processes. In addition, any service updates made by the technicians are automatically reflected on the company's Customer Web Portal in real time. This results in significantly fewer calls to the contact center, increased technician productivity, and greater operational efficiency.

The company has chosen to deploy Antenna's A3 SmartClient application on Nextel i58sr™ and i730™ phones using the Nextel iDEN network. Antenna's A3 SmartClient application enables service technicians to access real-time work order and customer data from the company's back-end Astea service management system. The company has also deployed additional value-added components of the Antenna A3 mobile enterprise solution, including A3 Voice for IVR functionality when out-of-coverage, A3 MobileManager for automatic call escalation, and the A3 Studio, for maintaining the mobile application environment using Antenna's enterprise-class development platform.

"Providing superior customer service is a key differentiator for today's commercial HVAC companies," said Jim Hemmer, Antenna's President and CEO. "This large deployment demonstrates how companies in this demanding market can take advantage of Antenna A3 mobile technology solutions to streamline and enhance their unique business processes, gain competitive momentum, and exceed customer expectations."

"To further strengthen our position in the global security and inspection market, our field service engineers required the most sophisticated mobile solution available to streamline the management of all customer calls," said Ted Alston, VP Global Customer Support Services at Rapiscan. "We anticipate significant improvements in business efficiency and field operations productivity and a substantial decrease in the volume of calls to our call centers as we proceed with this rollout."

Rapiscan will take advantage of Antenna's fully integrated Service Management solution that consists of three major components - A3 SmartClient device-side application, A3 Mobility Dashboard for Web-based monitoring of user activity, devices in the field, and connections around the clock, and the A3 Studio, Antenna's enterprise-class development platform.

Antenna's A3 SmartClient application resides on the Samsung SPH-I700 device with network coverage provided by Verizon in North America and O2 overseas. The A3 application is integrated into Rapiscan's Service Management and ERP system and enables field service engineers to access real-time, job-critical data, anytime, anywhere. Using A3, engineers can easily track every instance of a service call all the way through to completion. In addition, they can track time and expenses, order parts, and print invoices on the spot for reduced billing cycles.

Rapiscan will be using the integrated Antenna A3 Studio and A3 Mobility Dashboard products to facilitate the management and administration of their entire North American and international rollouts. A3 Studio is an open, standards-based application development platform that enables Rapiscan to customize, administer and maintain their mobile application easily and comprehensively. It transparently supports multiple device form factors and back-end systems and offers the unique ability to update applications "over the air" without taking devices out of the field. This provides Rapiscan with the ability to keep devices in the field and ensures no lost productivity. Antenna's A3 Mobility Dashboard enables administrators, managers, and supervisors to manage devices and users, all while monitoring wireless message delivery and user activity around the clock.

"Rapiscan's selection of Antenna's mobile solution to support its worldwide operations serves as a strong testament that our offerings meet customers' critical business and technical requirements," said Jim Hemmer, CEO of Antenna Software.

(Jersey City, NJ) March 24, 2004 - Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of mobile enterprise solutions, today announced that it has successfully completed post-merger integration activities after its strategic acquisition of RPA Wireless in December, 2003. As part of the integration, Antenna released its newly combined suite of products and services, called Antenna A3 Mobile Solutions, which enable companies to combine enterprise-class mobile business applications with global wireless network communications and management capabilities. Antenna A3 is comprised of the following integrated components: A3 Mobile Services for guaranteed end-to-end message delivery via wireless networks; A3 SmartClient end-user applications for mobile field service management, sales force automation, and knowledge management; A3 Studio for developing and maintaining mobile applications using industry best practices; and A3 Connectors for interfacing to back-end enterprise CRM/ERP systems.

"Since acquiring RPA Wireless, we have focused our efforts on uniting the strengths of both companies," said Jim Hemmer, Antenna's CEO. "We have consolidated and simplified the product lines to help our customers streamline the complexities of global mobile deployments as well as rapidly demonstrate measurable business value. By accomplishing this integration of our combined resources, we have created a true, worldwide leader in the mobile enterprise market space."

Antenna A3 Mobile Services is a managed services environment whereby Antenna monitors and manages global wireless communications for its customers. A3 Mobile Services helps customers achieve rapid ROI on mobile enterprise deployments by managing all the moving pieces of an enterprise-wide mobile deployment - multiple devices, carriers, and networks - and allowing organizations to concentrate on core competencies rather than building, managing, and administering a complex wireless implementation. Included with Antenna Mobile Services is the A3 Mobility Dashboard, which provides access to an integrated set of Web-based products that administrators and managers can use to easily control and monitor their mobile computing environment.

Antenna's A3 SmartClient mobile applications are device-side, always-on wireless solutions that extend the power and functionality of leading CRM systems to the field force.

Antenna A3 SmartClient applications are supported on today's leading mobile platforms and wireless devices, including BlackBerry wireless handhelds, Pocket PC devices, Tablets, Smartphones, and laptops.

Antenna A3 Studio is an open, standards-based, application development platform that enables organizations to fully customize, configure, administer, and maintain their mobile applications easily and comprehensively. It transparently supports multiple device form factors, networks, and back-end systems and offers the unique ability to update applications "over the air" without taking devices out of the field, which provides the ability to keep devices in use and ensures no lost productivity.

Antenna is in an exciting market and I'm delighted to take on the challenge of leading the company and its experienced management team to even greater successes."

COMPUTERWORLD NAMES ANTENNA SOFTWARE ONE OF THE TOP 100 EMERGING COMPANIES FOR 2002

2001-12-03T00:00:00-05:00

(New York, NY) December 3, 2001 -- Touted among companies that are most capable of succeeding through innovation, Antenna Software, the leading provider of integrated Web and wireless solutions for the mobile service industry, was selected by Computerworld last week as one of the “Top 100 Emerging Companies for 2002.” The award was announced in both the publication’s online and print editions.

“In selecting the Computerworld Top 100 emerging companies for 2002, the editors and panel members emphasized innovation,” said Maryfran Johnson, editor-in-chief of Computerworld. “These companies are creating products or services that present a new and creative approach to an IT issue, while demonstrating that they have the foundation, vision, and strategy to succeed in the years ahead.”

“Antenna recognizes that building the best solutions for mobile and field service takes innovation, domain expertise, and an intimate understanding of customers' needs," said Peter Semmelhack, President & CEO of Antenna Software. "The award validates our vision, and is a real testament to our staff. Antenna is on track to deliver the wireless software that will generate the quickest ROI for our customers.”

To select the Top 100 Emerging Companies, a panel of Computerworld editors and a select group of information technology industry influencers representing senior-level executives who are both providers and users of IT reviewed nominations from for-profit ventures with revenue less than $250 million and founded no earlier than 1996. Of those nominations, a final list of 100 innovators was drawn based on the following criteria:

The company and its technology offer demonstrable value to corporate IT operations; the product or service addresses problems or challenges that IT managers face.
The company is innovative; the product or service presents a new and creative approach to an IT issue and competes in a relatively new or emerging market; the product or service is viable.
The company demonstrates positive signs of an ability to execute its strategy (revenue, revenue growth, funding, and stable management team).

According to Computerworld, organizations ultimately selected as Computerworld Top 100 Emerging Companies for 2002 are those companies that are making significant, innovative contributions to the IT industry and corporate computing and are worth watching in the year ahead.

This award comes on the heels of three other awards garnered by Antenna Software. Earlier this year, Antenna's second-round funding was named among the top deals of Q1 2001 by Crain's New York Business. Atnewyork.com elected Antenna Software to its coveted Companies to Watch list, citing Antenna as “one hot player in the business for helping corporate networks integrate wireless and Web-base access for mobile and field workers.” In conjunction with Field Enterprise Solutions Conference & Expo, Field Force Automation awarded Antenna’s product suite, AntennaTools™, the Best Mobile Software Solution for the mobile service industry in 2001.

MOTOROLA AND ANTENNA SOFTWARE FIRST TO OFFER LEADING FIELD SERVICE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION ON MOTOROLA'S TIMEPORT P935

2001-07-30T00:00:00-04:00

Boynton Beach, FL (July 30, 2001) -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of integrated Web and wireless solutions to the mobile and field service industry, announced today that they are working together to deliver Antenna’s Web and wireless field service management solution, AntennaTools™, on Motorola’s Timeport™ P935 personal communicator. The relationship is expected to help Motorola extend its reach in the field-service wireless enterprise applications market for its Timeport P935 two-way messaging devices.

“By combining the power of Motorola’s TimePort P935 with Antenna’s leading field service management application, we are greatly extending the reach of our offering in the field service market,” said Miguel Pellon, vice president and general manager, Motorola’s Wireless Messaging Division. “Working together, we will not only increase field engineers’ productivity, but also help companies reduce operations cost and generate more revenues through improved efficiency.”

Antenna Software and Motorola will jointly promote AntennaTools developed for Motorola’s TimePort P935 to the mobile and field service market. The Timeport P935 operates on secured, high-speed ReFLEX{R} protocol wireless networks, which have extensive nationwide coverage for wireless data. These networks offer low-cost alternatives to proprietary networks as well as superior in-building penetration.

“We chose Motorola’s Timeport P935 as a platform for AnntenaTools based on the strength and reliability of Motorola’s wireless products,” said Peter Semmelhack, president and CEO of Antenna Software. “AntennaTools on the TimePort P935 will give field engineers real-time access to service-related information, from customer data to parts availability, even when they are out of range. As a result, customers, service managers, inventory managers and technicians in the field can communicate more efficiently.”

Motorola’s TimePort P935 is the device of choice for mobile field service in industries such as hi-tech, manufacturing, medical and other third-party service providers, according to Semmelhack. Technicians like its ruggedness, lightweight and compact size combined with full-featured keypad, user-friendly GUI, and the store-and-forward functionality, which provides confirmed message delivery.

The relationship is one of several that Antenna has formed in recent months to enrich its suite of services and expand its product offerings across vertical markets. The company has strategic alliances with Accenture, Nortel Networks and ClickSoftware, and marketing alliances with Applied Theory and ArcStream Wireless. Earlier in the year, Antenna closed $17 million in a second round of funding led by Polaris and North Bridge Venture Partners, and Hunt Ventures. The new investment has enabled the company to quickly build partnerships with other software vendors, system integrators and solution providers.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE INTRODUCES ASP-BASED
FIELD SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2001-02-06T00:00:00-05:00

(New York, NY) February 6, 2001 – Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of Internet-based, wireless field service management solutions, announces today that it has completed the rollout of Antenna ServiceTools ASP, a hosted version of Antenna’s enterprise Web and wireless field service management software. Easy to use and with low upfront investment, ServiceTools meets the needs of many small and mid-market service providers for improving client satisfaction and increasing profits using the newest technologies.

“Antenna ServiceTools can be installed quickly with no lengthy deployment time or expensive customization, no significant investment in IT infrastructure,” said Peter Semmelhack, founder and CEO of Antenna Software. “Small and mid-market companies can immediately take full advantage of this pure XML-based, Web and wireless solution to automate their entire service operation, and to realize 30-50% cost savings administratively and operationally. In addition, ServiceTools runs on all the most popular wireless platforms such as Motorola PageWriter, RIM Blackberry, Palm Pilot and Pocket PC.”

According to AMR Market Research, the ASP market is projected to grow at a CAGR rate of 153% to $4.7 billion by 2004. Gartner Group predicts that the global ASP market will surpass $25.3 billion by 2004. “In the field service industry, where small and mid sized service providers represent over 80% of the market,” Mr. Semmelhack added. “ASP-based solutions are poised to make an enormous impact.”

With application hosting, the ServiceTools application and data are installed and maintained at Antenna’s facilities. Instead of buying the software or developing it in-house, service providers can simply outsource it to Antenna Software, according to Mr. Semmelhack. “This allows service providers to concentrate on what they do best -- delivering great service to customers.”

A complete field service management system achitected for the Internet, ServiceTools connects service managers, technicians, inventory managers and customers in real time. It enables everyone in the service delivery chain to track service requests and service status via the Web and wireless devices, ensures that parts are ordered and shipped, and service is delivered -- eliminating telephone bottlenecks and communications breakdowns.

In addition, adds Mr. Semmelhack, ServiceTools brings the power of Web and wireless technologies to core operations such as dispatch and scheduling, purchase orders and invoicing, contract and warranty management, and inventory management. Integrated into the application is an information and e-procurement network which pumps dynamic, real-time logistics, training, marketing or traffic data to the fingertips of the service provider. “The result,” said Mr. Semmelhack. “is an end-to-end, real time service delivery chain with no missing links.”

Antenna is offering a promotional program for ServiceTools ASP starting immediately. During this period, participants will receive extended bonus service for multiple months with commitment for a term contract.

100% Web-Native and Wireless
ServiceTools is designed to leverage the latest Internet technologies, and can be accessed via any industry-standard Web browser with no additional hardware or software. ServiceTools’ features and functionalities also extend to the most popular wireless platforms such as Motorola Pagewriter, RIM Blackberry, Pocket PC and Palm Pilot.

Full-featured and easy to use, ServiceTools wireless applications communicate with the ServiceTools Web server via a wireless service provider network. Data is updated in real time as long as the technician is in range. When out of range, ServiceTools operates in “store and forward” mode, allowing the technician to work offline. As long as the signal returns, all transactions and data will be automatically transferred to the server. There is no manual data synchronization required.

Maximum Data Integrity and Security
Antenna Software manages and supports the ServiceTools application over
Antenna’s secure and reliable ASP infrastructure. Antenna is responsible for maintaining multiple levels of security, power, Internet bandwidth, and stable environmental conditions, so that authorized users can access the application 24 hours a day, seven days a week with 99.9% uptime.

(New York, NY) September 19, 2000 — Antenna Software, Inc., the leading provider of Internet-based, wireless solutions for the service industry, has announced a strategic alliance with Applied Theory (NASDAQ: ATHY), a leading provider of comprehensive Internet Business Solutions. The alliance comes on the heels of Antenna’s recent launch of AntennaTools, a 100% Web-based, wireless communications, logistics and procurement solution for the mobile services market.

The companies will help mid-sized mobile/field service providers operate more efficiently and grow more profitably. The alliance’s first target is the explosive IT services market. Currently estimated at $22 billion, the IT services market is projected to surpass $30 billion in three years.

"By E-enabling and bringing greater profitability to our customers, this alliance not only helps mid-market service providers and distributors remain competitive, but also helps them grow in this new marketplace," said Mr. Peter Semmelhack, founder and CEO of Antenna Software. "The IT service industry is placing increasing pressure upon service providers to improve their performance in the field. If you bear in mind that field service is customer service, the ability to offer real-time responsiveness in the field is critical."

With the alliance, Applied Theory can help integrate Antenna’s solutions into existing legacy and back-end database systems of Antenna’s customers. In addition, Antenna’s customers can select from a number of Applied Theory’s services, including Web hosting, Internet connectivity and security.

"Our alliance with Antenna Software will deliver fully integrated solutions to mobile service providers," said Mr. Danny E. Stroud, executive vice president at Applied Theory. "Antenna’s deep understanding of mobile service and comprehensive, real-time solutions for the IT service industry, coupled with Applied Theory’s expertise in system integration and solution deployment, will be a great benefit to the customer."

Having established a fully integrated Web and wireless field service solution for its initial market, the IT service industry, Antenna is quickly moving into other vertical markets such as networking and telecommunications.

ANTENNA SOFTWARE LAUNCHES FIRST WEB-BASED FIELD SERVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION; ANTENNATOOLS 2.0 PROMISES TO REVOLUTIONIZE $22 BILLION COMPUTER SERVICES MARKET

2000-07-26T00:00:00-04:00

(New York, NY) July 27, 2000 – Antenna Software, Inc., a leading provider of Internet-based software to the IT services industry, has launched a pure Web-based service management solution for computer service providers, AntennaTools 2.0.

Designed specifically for the Internet, AntennaTools streamlines and improves virtually every aspect of the management and delivery of on-site computer services, including core operations such as the installation, repair, maintenance and upgrade of mission-critical equipment. The current market for computer services, comprised of nearly 100,000 computer service providers in the U.S. alone, is estimated at $22 billion and is projected to surpass $30 billion in three years.

AntennaTools is the first of a new generation of Internet-architected applications that fully leverage Web and wireless technologies to improve field service operations, linking all parts of the service delivery chain with enhanced communications, logistics and a unique e-procurement supplier network.

Antenna also reports that Andersen Consulting, the management and technology consulting leader, has formed a marketing alliance with Antenna to foster relationships between its worldwide clients and Antenna. Andersen Consulting has also agreed to accept partial compensation for its services in the form of equity in the company. AC Ventures, the venture capital unit of Andersen Consulting, will manage the equity stake.

"Antenna’s products have the potential to revolutionize field services across a number of industries such as PC’s, computers, and telecommunications, as well as to create new markets, and ultimately generate superior value for companies in these industries." said Bill Kapler, a partner in the Electronics & High Tech industry group at Andersen Consulting. "We are pleased to be able to team with Antenna to help them achieve their potential."

In addition, Antenna has formed a strategic alliance with Clarify, a leading provider of customer relationship management solutions recently acquired by Nortel Networks. Clarify Service Solutions has an integrated CRM and eBusiness product suite for the service community.

"The Internet is rewriting the rules for service providers," said Peter Semmelhack, founder and CEO of Antenna Software. "Breakthroughs in Web, wireless and supply chain technologies have, for the first time in about 25 years, presented a real opportunity for companies to drastically change the way they do business. AntennaTools brings together customers, field technicians, service and inventory managers, and suppliers in one collaborative system that realizes substantial time and cost savings for service providers, and a higher quality experience for everyone."

Pure HTML Interface

AntennaTools is a 100% Web-based communications, logistics and procurement solution for the booming IT services market. It offers a pure HTML interface that can be accessed via any standard browser on every major hardware or software platform. Additionally, AntennaTools provides anytime/anywhere accessibility, and will soon run on wireless devices from Motorola and Palm.

Until recently, the Internet revolution of the last decade has had little impact on the way service is delivered in the field. Many operations continue to rely on the telephone, the fax machine and Post-It notes – and often, these devices serve as chokepoints, impeding the smooth and rapid flow of information between all the parties involved in a successful service call.

"Quality service doesn’t happen without up-to-the-minute communications," said Semmelhack. "AntennaTools truly integrates communications, logistics and procurement tools. It will make the inefficiencies inherent in existing systems for tracking, dispatch and parts procurement disappear quickly and painlessly."

Completing the ‘Last Mile’ in Customer Service

Due in part to the enormous logistical and communications complexities involved in delivering high-quality service in the field, the pace of technological innovation in the sector has lagged behind other key areas of the value delivery chain. But industry analysts say this is rapidly changing.

Manufacturers, suppliers and service firms are increasingly using premium service to differentiate themselves from their competition. According to one recent study released by Gartner Group, "field service – traditionally considered a low-visibility, back-office function – is suddenly finding itself in the spotlight as a critically important part of the service economy."

"A great help desk or Web site isn’t nearly good enough to keep customers loyal today," said Semmelhack. "The most powerful experience of customer service happens on-site – if this goes wrong, all the branding in the world won’t help you. Great field service – consistently getting the right person to the right place at the right time with the right part – is where the rubber really meets the road for many customers."

In setting a new standard for real-time, e-based field service, Antenna has emerged as a front-runner in field service technology which, as Gartner Group asserted, should assist in "increasing sales revenue, reducing labor and parts costs, improving productivity, reducing outages, and increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty."

Integrating e-Commerce in Business’s Essential Operations

The Internet is already causing service providers to re-evaluate and adapt the way they operate internally and externally. One key consideration has been the ability to integrate new technologies into essential operations.

In the computer services industry, some 300 million calls are made annually, 70% of which require replacement parts. For years, service providers had to carry excessive inventory or risk the quality and timeliness of client service. AntennaTools, engineered from a deep understanding of service provider business processes, gives the industry its first and only solution that allows parts procurement to track with demand, so that service repairs can keep pace with customer expectations on an accelerated, as-needed basis.

"The AntennaTools procurement network enables field technicians and service managers to quickly and easily order and approve parts purchases from suppliers at the very time and place they determine need," Mr. Semmelhack said. "Such an integrated infrastructure has never been available in field service."

Semmelhack said that the AntennaTools procurement network should be able to cut the average turnaround time for parts procurement by half. Inventory costs should also drop by 30%. Communications accuracy from point of service to supplier will improve by degrees that may be impossible to measure.

Founded in 1998, Antenna Software is a leading provider of Internet-based software to the IT services industry. Based in New York’s Silicon Alley, Antenna products enable IT service providers to profitably deliver high quality service to their customers.
