- iKnowWare delivers the mobile, business process and services delivery platform that make Telco and Web 3.0 a reality
-
LAS VEGAS - This week at NXTcomm 2008, iKnowWare will demonstrate how it helps telecommunications providers connect People of the Web 2.0 world to view an endless range of innovative new personalized services. Through its Channel Partner program at NXTcomm, iKnowWare will highlight components critical to making Telco 2.0 a reality: mobile screens, services and service delivery via a Personalized Managed Services Platform and Software As A Service (SaaS) offered by Channel Partners. Local Partners LasVegas.Net made the decision to smooth out its cash flow via managed services in early 2006. The systems integrator was already realizing some managed services revenue via maintenance contracts, but it knew it had to take things a step further in order to realize steady growth. "Maintenance contracts are helpful, but they're always reactive," says Marty Mizrahi, founder and partner of LasVegas.Net. "Managed services enable us and offering iKnowWare to enable us to be proactive and enter into stronger relationships with our customers." Many of LasVegas.Net customers fall into the SMB category and prefer to rely on outside service providers to keep their networks running smoothly, rather than hiring in-house IT support. iKnowWare's Industry Solutions on standard software platforms of Microsoft Windows Mobile® and are certified on Carriers of at&t, VerizonWireless, and growing Wireless Internet Service Providers and receive "sticky" reoccuring revenue with a growing SaaS subscriber base of Broadband Wireless customers.
"NXTcomm provides a great venue to see firsthand the strides being made by Channel Partners and carriers in developing and delivering industry-changing services," said Mark Spilotro, CEO "From iKnowWares perspective, this week marks two significant milestones with more Carriers certifying our Mobile Solution/Software platform and the demonstrations of managed network 'mashups' from our Industry Solutions program. We believe our wide range of solutions and products delivers now the promise of Telco 2.0, enabling telecommunications providers to offer new services that allow them to attract new customers, reduce churn and drive new revenue streams."
