SEVEN celebrates 100th operator customer |
|
SEVEN today announced its 100th operator customer, confirming its position as the leader in the white-label push email market.
SEVEN now controls 65% of the white label market, owning the most operator relationships and the largest addressable subscriber base of any push email provider. SEVEN’s current customer base conservatively has a combined addressable market of 700 million users.
Reaching the century mark comes after a strong first half year performance for SEVEN. Twenty customers were signed in the last six months, reflecting the growing importance of mobile email for operators and end users alike. Key wins in 2006 include Alltel in the US, Hutch in APAC, 3UK in EMEA and Etisalat in ME. Current worldwide customers include Cingular Wireless and Sprint Nextel in the U.S.; KDDI Corp. and NTT DoCoMo in Japan; O2, Orange, Telefonica Moviles, Telenor Group and Vimpelcom in Europe; and Bharti, DTAC, FarEasTone, Optus, and Telkom Indonesia in Asia-Pacific; Etisalat and Wataniya in Middle-East & Africa. .
In addition to this achievement, SEVEN continues to make its software available on more mobile devices than any other push email provider. SEVEN has extended its leadership during the year, adding more than 80 models. SEVEN’s push email is now available on over 200 different mobile devices across the widest number of operating platforms including BREW, J2ME, Microsoft Pocket PC, Microsoft Smartphone 2003, Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, Palm OS and Symbian-based phones.
A further key area of success for SEVEN in 2006 is the Asia Pacific market. There are now 31 operator customers in the region, the highest number after Europe. Industry analysts IDC recognised this achievement in a recent report .
Kent Thexton, CEO of SEVEN, comments, "The white-label push email market is accelerating rapidly as the technology enters the mainstream of business and consumer products. A mobile email platform is now an essential part of an operator’s strategic product portfolio. It allows them to provide all customers with a cost-effective mobility solution which delivers measurable improvements on ARPU and helps reduce customer churn. We’re delighted that 100 major operators and service providers have selected SEVEN as their trusted push email partner."
