Business SMS Solutions

Business SMS services are designed to fit the needs of small software development shops to large enterprise IT departments. Click on the section below that best describes your needs to find out more.

We realize that there are two main obstacles for businesses to take advantage of the SMS messaging network, the most ubiquitous and the most popular communications medium know to people. These two issues are complexity and cost.

• Complexity comes from the fact that in order to connect to the global network one has to engage in a complex negotiation process with many service providers (currently over 800) in order to build a comprehensive network connectivity. Even if services are planned in only one country the prospect of dealing with 4-5 large telecom companies can hardly be swift and efficient.
• Cost comes in two shapes: labor - your highly trained staff needed to complete both business and technical integration and technology - you need to obtain and maintain expensive telecom network equipment and software in order to be in business.

We solve both of the above obstacles by providing a hosted platform based on our carrier grade software, the SideWinderSMS. The software is hosted in a secure data center on a set of redundant hardware. This cluster of servers maintains multiple connections to all global networks, including all networks in USA and Canada and is continuously monitored so that the service is available 24/7.
