From CTIA WIRELESS 2010, the company with the nation’s largest and
most reliable wireless voice and 3G data network said that industries
ranging from healthcare to education rely on Enterprise Messaging from
Verizon Wireless to send large numbers of 450-character text messages to
their workforce or customers reliably and safely from their "in-house"
messaging applications or directly from an online self-serve portal.
Enterprise Messaging is a secure solution for enterprise and government
customers.
"Verizon Wireless’ Enterprise Messaging service is the answer for any
organization considering an interdepartmental communication plan to
alert key personnel in the field or for education administrators looking
for a smart solution to send students, faculty and staff messages as
part of a process- or event-driven communications plan," said Mark
Bartolomeo, vice president – global enterprise marketing for Verizon
Wireless. "The Enterprise Messaging management platform allows
organizations to communicate efficiently and cost-effectively via text
messages to employees and customers directly on their wireless devices,
plus reap the benefits of message tracking, reporting and list
management."
The Enterprise Messaging service from Verizon Wireless provides
enterprise customers with a wide range of benefits, including:
-- Support for three protocols many businesses already have integrated into their existing systems: -- Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) -- Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP) -- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) -- No spam filtering or volume threshold limitations -- Group lists can be uploaded and synchronized for each protocol -- Online self-serve portal in a secure environment with message delivery confirmation -- Easy management and organization of specific messages for specific departments
Enterprise Messaging is available for organizations with at least 100
corporate-liable lines. Message recipients must first opt-in to
receive messages. To ensure privacy and the integrity of the sender’s
identity, the sender’s IP addresses and domains will be subject to
authentication.
Business customers who would like to register for Enterprise
Messaging should contact their Verizon Wireless Business Sales
Representative at 1-800-VZW-4BIZ.
