WebAsyst Suite Allows SMS Messaging

Wilmington, DE, April 21, 2006 --(PR.com)-- WebAsyst ™ has added an SMS messaging feature to its Contact Manager application, part of WebAsyst Suite (www.webasyst.net), a set of web based communication and collaboration tools. The company now offers quite another level of communication: while e-mail messages are not always read promptly, SMS text messages are received directly in addressee’s mobile phones, ensuring immediate attention.

The new SMS feature addresses one of the primary purposes of WebAsyst Suite – to bridge gaps in geographically dispersed teams - making collaboration even more convenient. Mobile phone numbers of recipients can be easily chosen from Contact Manager (http://www.webasyst.net/contact-manager.htm) database or entered manually. The Contact Manager database also provides the facility to send SMS in bulk mode; i.e., same text to several persons with just a couple of clicks.

According to Gerry Kincaid, IS Director with datum IS (UK), “WebAsyst is a well designed, integrated applications suite perfect for collaborative, distributed project management. Our organisation spent 3 months researching available systems, and found WebAsyst's combination of flexibility, ease of use, and technical support hard to beat.”

WebAsyst applications may be purchased as hosted accounts or open source. For hosted customers, an SMS gateway account is already included in the package, and customers simply pay for actual SMS messages in their Customer Account by purchasing SMS credits. Open source customers install the software on an independent server, and in this case users will set up an account with Clickatell in order to use SMS feature. The Clickatell module which enables SMS messaging is part of the Suite; customers need only to supply their account details.

“The new SMS messaging feature included in the latest upgrade is based upon our continuing drive to improve WebAsyst products. We always listen to what our customers suggest, collect this information, and develop features accordingly. This SMS feature was specially designed to benefit them by addressing their specific needs and requirements,” says Vladimir Tuporshin, Managing Director of WebAsyst LLC.
