San Jose, CA, USA and
Tokyo, Japan; December 19, 2003 -
DoOnGo Technologies, Inc., the
market leader in mobile device
software management and over-the-air
(OTA) application provisioning,
and ITX E-Globaledge Corporation,
the solutions provider which
is a subsidiary of ITX Corporation
(the IT business creation company),
today announced an agreement
to jointly market, distribute
and support DoOnGo products and
solutions to customers throughout
Japan and other Asian countries.
Through this agreement, DoOnGo
and ITX E-Globaledge will expand
the distribution of DoOnGo's
Mobile Intelligence™ product
suite to carriers and device
manufacturers in Asia, as well
as other vertical markets. The
partnership will also allow DoOnGo
to offer local technical support
for customers in Asia-Pacific.
Quick, easy access to the technical
expertise of ITX E-GlobalEdge's
network of support staff will
enable users to more quickly
resolve their inquiries, driving
customer satisfaction in the
Asia-Pacific mobile communications
market.
According to the latest research
from IDC, 1.4 billion people
worldwide will be using mobile
phones by the end of next year,
with third-generation (3G) phones
increasingly driving sales. 3G
phones are expected to deliver
an array of new products and services
to mobile phone users such as games,
streaming media and cameras. As
mobile phones become more sophisticated,
the costs associated with repairing
software bugs, providing customer
service, and distributing new software
features and content also increases.
Carriers and device manufacturers
need an end-to-end solution that
quickly, easily and cost-effectively
fixes bugs and remotely upgrades
device software without inconveniencing
their customers. DoOnGo's technology
reduces customer support costs
by efficiently updating mobile
phones, over-the-air or at the
point-of-service, providing low-cost
insurance for high-cost recalls.
"ITX E-Globaledge sees great value
in DoOnGo's suite of software products
that are addressing the key need
for romote software management
and upgrade. The ITX E-Globaledge
solid history of support and distribution
can enhance this product value
by bringing it to other large vertical
markets in which ITX has strong
corporate and channel relationships," said
Takehiko Wakimoto, Director & General
Manager of the Mobile & Wireless
Solutions Department at ITX E-Globaledge. "By
working with DoOnGo, we can assure
our customers that we are providing
them with the most efficient and
scalable OTA software management
tool available, as well as continuing
to offer the very best in customer
support."
"We chose to partner with ITX
E-Globaledge because of its strong
and established position in Asia
Pacific and its superior reputation
for customer support," said Dr.
Luosheng Peng, Chairman, CEO, and
Co-founder of DoOnGo Technologies. "By
working with ITX E-Globaledge,
we can now expand our sales portfolio
into strategic vertical target
markets such as cell phone and
car navigation systems, and deliver
our proven, wireless software management
and OTA application provisioning
solutions to new customers in Japan
and the rest of Asia."
