At the Mobile World Congress, multination technology company IBM has announced its thrusts on mobile services specifically designed for enhancing social networks, health records, security and overall customer experience.
“Our service provider clients tell us they believe growth in the next five years will stem from converged content services like television and video. Yet factors like ease of use, simplicity, security and quality – all of which comprise the total experience – are essential to drive these new service revenues. Consumers expect the same carrier-grade service quality for new mobile services as they get from providers today,” said Mike Hill, IBM Telecommunications Industry general manager, in a news release.
One of the solutions featured in the said event is the collaboration between IBM and Vodafone to extend social networking sites to mobile devices via SMS and voice messages.
Moreover, its so-called “presence technology†can enable roaming of health records for emergency situations.
