Why go mobile?

 

There are currently over 50 million browser enabled mobile phones in the UK – and over two billion worldwide. Monthly website “hits” from mobiles are running at 1.8 BILLION in the UK alone - and this number is rising!

Today, if any of these mobile users attempt to view your website they probably can’t!

Worse still, they don’t even get a sensible, legible message telling them they can’t use your website from their mobile……they just get garbage!

In today’s technologically “switched on” market place this does not create a good impression of your company!

And as more companies begin to offer mobile access to their websites, and with Operators directing their customers to their own portals, even those potential customers who already know and like you will be DIRECTED into the arms of your competitors.

Mobile Life can fix this problem for you TODAY.

For some examples of what happens with common mobiles when they access standard web-sites see these examples

  1. Restaurant example
  2. Information service

The UK regulator OFCOM has revealed that UK mobile users are now accessing an average of over 70 mobile pages per month (see figure below) in their August 2004 report The Communications Market 2004 - Overview. In fact mobile web access is fast approaching text messaging for information access.

The advantage of mobile page access for mobile customers is

  • pages cost a fraction of the price of a text message to download
  • pages can contain much more information than the 160 character limit of a standard text message
  • pages can freely mix text and graphics
  • users can interact better with mobile services


SlipStream is Mobile Life's innovative solution to the problems of mobile access to conventional websites.

SlipStream sits between your website and the mobile customer. It can reside on your web server, or can be hosted remotely by Mobile Life. SlipStream recognises the type of mobile device that is accessing your site, and presents your web pages in a way best displayed by that phone.

In simple terms this means that almost ANY mobile phone currently in use today (and in the future) will be able to access your site, and use the facilities you offer.

Key benefits of the SlipStream approach include:

  • "Out of the box" solution for simple installation
  • Minimal disruption to IT infrastructure
  • Device recognition s/w updated for future mobiles
  • Simple, industry standard technologies requiring no 3rd party licence purchases or locking into expensive future enhancement costs

You’re probably losing business right now if customers can’t access your website from their mobile phones – we can fix it so they can!
