SIOX Transforms Mobile Communication for Business Applications
SMS technology has the ability to overcome the restrictions set within traditional communications. SMS makes communication possible, in any geographical area, regardless of the mobile terminal type or GSM specificity. By means of performing specialized applications, companies are able to exploit this means of communication, adapting it to their own requirements and scenarios.
Azure Software has solved the problems associated with cumbersome online mobile advertisements and lifestyle applications. This is accomplished though their Mobile Commerce Application called SIOX Business Suite. Through SIOX, Azure offers solutions for fields of activity such as online advertising, mobile marketing, communication, alerts and transactions.
The SIOX Java architecture is capable of interconnecting users with their clients in a large range of services that can be applied in all industries: notification and alerts systems, bidirectional communications, electronic transmission of discount coupons and secured environment access. While the features and functions of SIOX are incredibly applicable, its’ benefit lies within the technology that enables the gateway between the user’s handset and the systems to which Siox can connect them.
Retailers and service suppliers can offer discount coupons in electronic format, without resorting to written press, direct mail, hand distribution or product packaging.
With Siox, couponing is possible though MMS, digital enhanced delivery to the user immediately upon short code interaction with the product brand. This transmission is sent moments after the request is placed, in short code, which is advertised by the brand associated with the marketing campaign.
