GSS LAUNCHES MOBILE AND WIRELESS PRACTICE GROUP

 

Helps Enterprise IT Customers Realize ROI

 

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS / MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, UNITED STATES, OCTOBER 21, 2002 – Global System Services Corporation (GSS) today announced at THE VIEW Domino Technical Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the launch of new consulting services to help enterprise IT customers realize return on investment (ROI) for wireless technology.

 

IT customers have had difficultly realizing ROI for wireless messaging and mobile applications. Software vendors provide technology to mobilize e-mail and applications but most customers have not been able to realize measurable business benefits. Technology and usability challenges are cited as stumbling blocks but the primary reason that mobile applications have not been more beneficial to enterprises is that they are often driven by technology without a clear business case.

 

GSS develops and deploys solutions based on specific business benefits and creates targeted strategies help companies capitalize on wireless technology with measurable results. “GSS has been involved with Lotus Notes and Domino since 1995 and with wireless applications since 1999,” said GSS CEO Ron Herardian who is a featured speaker at THE VIEW conference.

 

"GSS’ clear understanding of the wireless marketplace and business value possibilities has been instrumental to Harcourt as we define our wireless technology adoption and deployment strategy," said Eric Heimall, Senior Technical Architect for Harcourt, a division of Reed Elsevier Group, plc.

 

GSS provides wireless e-mail and other solutions using Lotus Domino Everyplace and other products.
