Redmond, WA, Oct. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ivycorp has announced the release of Ivytalk®, a next-generation mobile messaging network for businesses and organizations of any size. Ivytalk makes it easy to deliver targeted messages to devices that are already familiar to and in the hands of all types of audiences (customers, employees, volunteers, fans, first responders, and others).
Ivytalk sets a new standard for ease of use in creating, organizing, and delivering information to mobile devices, as well as the ability to reach virtually any web-enabled device. Ivytalk provides a simple interface that can seamlessly navigate diverse systems, transcending all the complexities of each network and system. Ivytalk‘s securely hosted messaging network can communicate directly with large groups using email, SMS, mobile apps, IP, and the Web.
"The Ivytalk system has been architected from day one as a hierarchical, carrier-grade, scalable, highly reliable, and operationally efficient platform upon which to launch, add, and evolve communication," said Mary Jesse, Ivycorp’s CEO. "Before Ivytalk, no simple tools existed that allowed businesses and organizations to use texting as easily and efficiently as email to communicate with customers, employees, members, and others. Additionally, email and other communication methods are not effective at reaching many audiences, in particular Gen Y and Gen X. These groups are quickly shifting away from email as a communication medium in favor of text messaging and mobile applications. The timing is perfect for a new breed of mobile messaging technology to address these issues. Ivytalk is the solution."
Ivycorp’s founder and CEO, Mary Jesse, served as Vice President of Strategic Technology for McCaw Cellular and later AT&T Wireless. Ms. Jesse was instrumental in developing and deploying the first large-scale wireless data systems in the U.S. and has led development teams in the architecture, design, and launch of numerous systems and products. Ivycorp is supported and financed by a prestigious group of wireless-industry veterans including Nick Kauser, an industry pioneer and Chief Technology Officer at McCaw Cellular, Rogers Communications, AT&T Wireless, and Clearwire. Mr. Kauser was inducted into the "Wireless Hall of Fame" during ceremonies held on Monday, October 10 in San Diego. Other investors include John Chapple, former CEO of Nextel Partners who also served as the Chairman of the Personal Communications Industry Association and Cellular One Group and was Vice-Chairman of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association. Ms. Jesse, her advisors, and Ivycorp’s investors are very excited about the introduction of Ivytalk. Discussions with a number of potential customers and strategic partners are currently underway.
