The decision to do so has been tremendously difficult, but we’ve come to realize that now is the best time for this to happen.<br /><br />First, we’ve struggled with making our Fun Text business financially viable.<br /><br />Secondly, without the revenue to keep a great team full-time, we’ve not had the chance to lately develop the solution as we originally wanted. In addition, the nature of the market is changing rapidly moving from mobile web to apps for iPhone and Android phones and we believe you need to invest in these areas to stay as a leading player in the mobile content space.<br /><br />Thirdly, we have seen that the sales cycle is still kind of long (quarters) and the mobile operator customers we have approached are expecting to get Fun Text on a revenue share basis, i.e. not much up-front money to us.<br />At the end of the day the cost was too high too keep the product alive and we did not see any profitable future in the foreseeable future.<br /><br />It was a tough decision but now we look forward and we will stay even more focused in providing our leading messaging solutions to mobile operators. We have very exciting offerings in the areas of: <br />- Desktop messaging<br />- Enterprise messaging<br />- Enhanced mobile broadband messaging<br />- Management of SMS services<br /><br />If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask them in the comments or contact us privately. <br /><br />Joakim Hilj <br />CEO, Mobispine AB<br />Firstname.lastname AT mobispine.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-85237530124283588152010-06-16T17:14:00.002+02:002010-06-16T17:25:42.531+02:00Mobispine summary from our Annual General MeetingHi all who have some interest in Mobispine!<br /><br />We had quite some people coming to our Annual Shareholders Meeting some ten days ago and we therefore want to share with the rest of you what we talked about and how the company was presented on that meeting.

Think about it, the only resource a manager cannot replicate, is his own time. And if 'conservative' British executives felt SMS was their most valuable time-management tool, perhaps you should consider if this might be true.<br /><br />Why SMS, why not email? Think about it. How urgently do you respond to emails? 160 Characters measured in 2007 that we respond to email in 24 hours, but we respond to SMS in 5 minutes. How much faster is SMS? It is 288 times faster in response time than email! That is like comparing air travel speeds of a hot air balloon to a jet plane. SMS is the jet age of interpersonal communications. We have similar findings from 2008 that SMS is read and responded to within 15 minutes (Experian 2008)".<br /><br />We at Mobispine of course believe in this data and we see similar findings from customers all over the world.<br /><br />Comments?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-86113052167779100702010-03-24T22:58:00.003+01:002010-03-24T23:04:22.020+01:00Americans send 5 B SMS per day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4nsIMq8gEAY9hDwvCkrj_t1kxsEOwi90Hk3fd_aPPeMtTrcshHYcfDG-D_bCgZ9DCM3Pgr0oSis-1VpFWZf3w3MXNH-iWW8oPZpAPBPfS9qaXOkWbjYFRPlreQrTL4j-pkQa3rmWAGc/s1600/Texting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4nsIMq8gEAY9hDwvCkrj_t1kxsEOwi90Hk3fd_aPPeMtTrcshHYcfDG-D_bCgZ9DCM3Pgr0oSis-1VpFWZf3w3MXNH-iWW8oPZpAPBPfS9qaXOkWbjYFRPlreQrTL4j-pkQa3rmWAGc/s320/Texting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452323592790156338" /></a><br />I just ran into this very interesting article from <a href="http://www.chicagobreakingbusiness.com">Chicago Breaking Business News</a>.<br />Some of the numbers are very impressive:<br />- 5 billion text messages per day sent in US<br />- Text messaging pricing increased from 10 to 20 cents<br />- Number of multimedia messages (MMS) more than doubled last year<br />- reveneues from data services now represent 28 percent of total revenues for US carriers<br /><br />The full article can be found <a href="http://www.chicagobreakingbusiness.com/2010/03/more-mobile-texting-talking-surfing-than-ever.html">here</a>!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-42753889548602262992010-03-24T16:10:00.006+01:002010-03-24T16:37:16.647+01:00Mobispine @ CTIA in Las vegas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzniK6ib3gNzXXQEzl6qdclJdX-f0YP5qG5RH3diFzzs1S2B8vPgoPqkdsoGgq3KxCZwWe9bVYj7TIfj0bXEmy3MsvDVik32As-DoEneBpcvbm0gNMMk8l0YXVgJdvc3Hx5kIwnBIrNc/s1600/ctia-logo-blue.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 181px; height: 173px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzniK6ib3gNzXXQEzl6qdclJdX-f0YP5qG5RH3diFzzs1S2B8vPgoPqkdsoGgq3KxCZwWe9bVYj7TIfj0bXEmy3MsvDVik32As-DoEneBpcvbm0gNMMk8l0YXVgJdvc3Hx5kIwnBIrNc/s200/ctia-logo-blue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452218490927495874" /></a><br />Hi all!<br />Some of our key people from Mobispine is in Las Vegas this week for the huge CTIA tradeshow.

Looking at some key metrics - that I can share - this is the progress:<br /><br />- Going from being a company dealing only with RSS-technology (the RSS reader) into being a mobile messaging player with 25+ mobile operator customers in EMEA and APAC.<br />- Winning deals with new customers (mobile operators) in Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and India.<br />- From loosing lots of money to almost breaking even<br />- Having established a solid delivery organization which makes it straightforward for us to deliver most kinds of projects to our customers<br />- Having established a strong product management function which will be even stronger next year<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What to expect from 2010</span><br />Next year we will continue our investments into product development & sales. We will for example:<br />- Execute our product roadmap going from delivering only desktop messaging solutions to also delivering multimedia and volume messaging solutions.<br />- Hire experienced sales people with great experience from software sales<br />- Expand sales into a handful key mobile operator groups where we already have a presence.<br /><br />I want with this short blog post say thank you to all fantastic people who are involved in this journey such as <br />- our employees<br />- our shareholders<br />- our customers<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Happy New Year!</span><br />Joakim Hilj<br />CEO, Mobispine ABUnknownnoreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-2356128521495399062009-11-12T12:44:00.004+01:002009-11-12T12:48:44.845+01:00How shall operators package, price and offer desktop messaging to their customers in order to be successful?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi80SprPNdXx4HT7famlIXR1C1PkO2z_SS4U0TT4fLo7yli3KRCizV8rIxpuZEotKz29AaysWvjyEVTDbEChy-RCAunoXDDUAtduFX2a8nHQn3wRyCB7-kdaeAT8UjlB-nUz48j4wD86Sw/s1600-h/price.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 355px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi80SprPNdXx4HT7famlIXR1C1PkO2z_SS4U0TT4fLo7yli3KRCizV8rIxpuZEotKz29AaysWvjyEVTDbEChy-RCAunoXDDUAtduFX2a8nHQn3wRyCB7-kdaeAT8UjlB-nUz48j4wD86Sw/s400/price.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403181825852569202" /></a><br />Operators often ask as the above question.<br /><br />The answer is clear to us. Thanks to the knowledge gained from all current deployments world wide we can see a clear pattern for achieving high usage, penetration and profitability as well as the usual mistakes when operators miss out on this. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />1. Target the product to both business and consumer users</span><br />Desktop messaging is equally important for both business and consumers but need to be positioned a bit different for each segment. Business users use the product as a mass communication-, information- and marketing tool while consumers see it as a natural extension to their person-to-person communication.<br /><br />A business user could therefore be a storeowner wanting to inform a large number of customers that the sale is on from tomorrow, or the company manager wanting to communicate an important message to the entire staff. More and more professionals offering services where you have to book an appointment also use desktop messaging to remind their customer about the scheduled appointment. Dentists are a good example of professionals that have managed to reduce the number missed appointment with such a feature. <br /><br />To simplify for business users Mobispine provides bulk features and import of contact list to enable smooth sending’s to many. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Include the product in existing messaging price plans with no additional monthly fee.</span><br />Desktop messaging is by users considered a natural extension of the traditional person-to-person SMS on the mobile. A monthly fee reduces the usage dramatically and should be avoided. The users have a hard time understanding why they should pay more to send more SMS, which is fully understandable. The more messages you send as a user the better price you should get right, instead of being “punished” with a monthly fee? <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Charge the same price for SMS as when sent from the mobile.</span><br />To charge the same price for desktop SMS as for regular SMS have two major advantages and operators that do not pursue this will suffer considerably on both usage and revenue compared with operator that embrace the same pricing. <br /><br />How come?<br /><br />Customers have a hard time understanding why they should be punished for sending more SMS, regardless if it’s from the PC. We all know that usage creates more usage and that users who on top of the normal SMS behaviour also send more and longer SMS when sitting in front on the PC will most likely also get more replies (replies are mainly delivered to the mobile device) and the wheel of sending and receiving is on. <br />Why should customers pay a higher price for SMS for sending even more SMS? This is a very valid question and the main reason to avoid a higher price. <br /><br />Another reason is simplicity; It’s simply easier for the user to remember the price if it’s equal to the existing price plan for SMS. If the pricing differs the customers may hesitate to use the service due to of lack of knowledge of the new price that they might fear could be expensive.<br /><br />So, be fair to you customers about pricing and they will be fair to you.<br /><br />Pandelis Eliopoulos<br />Vice President Marketing <br />Mobispine ABUnknownnoreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-11465372862338524542009-11-05T20:46:00.004+01:002009-11-05T23:04:35.729+01:00Feedback from my trip to UK<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXe4y-a3XulNUhkeCuvwfUuVrwHHVY0O97HKv9sQ82KCwJuAKOEgPMYjMcgcASdFhld7j0VCPhTlrq5GBRk76i_WB45m7A3FgYh6qr_ZGzihJQo4sn34bevnk5NFqnfTVh0nF1qq09UNw/s1600-h/vis_feedback.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 177px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXe4y-a3XulNUhkeCuvwfUuVrwHHVY0O97HKv9sQ82KCwJuAKOEgPMYjMcgcASdFhld7j0VCPhTlrq5GBRk76i_WB45m7A3FgYh6qr_ZGzihJQo4sn34bevnk5NFqnfTVh0nF1qq09UNw/s200/vis_feedback.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400709087885677794" /></a><br />Hi all,<br /><br />I just came back from a business trip where I met some customers and some of our distribution partners in the infrastructure area. I asked these folks, <br />- why do you like Mobispine? <br />- What is exciting with what we do for you?<br /><br />The feedback I got was interesting and relating to the fact we are in the middle of Telco & Internet businesses which is quite unique.<br /><br />There is a Telco world out there with huge mobile operators we work with. Telco Groups such as Vodafone Group, Telenor, TeliaSonera, T-Mobile, MTS, Telefonica, Orange all have subscriber bases between 100-600 Million subscribers each and of course huge revenue streams thanks to voice, messaging and other services. <br /><br />On the other hand side there is the Internet world with all the Internet players, very fast-moving, disruptive, sometimes lower requirements on quality than Telcos (compare the term carrier grade systems).<br /><br />What is really exciting and interesting with Mobispine is that we deliver Internet services to Telcos in a way that not many players are capable of doing on a global basis. Already today our backend systems are integrated in some 30 mobile operator environments talking to their billing, provisioning and messaging platforms. We are also experts in user interfaces, front-end systems and in our DNA we breathe Internet every day.<br /><br />If you have any ideas of how Mobispine can further improve the way we do business - let us know here!<br /><br />/ Joakim Hilj<br />CEO MobispineUnknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-22130925705492196682009-10-22T10:30:00.003+02:002009-10-22T10:31:58.523+02:00Sending SMS from Windows 7<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXty1zUY8o1Lojb1qmsQBY-A-mqmgG0zVTvNJ4XWWvxwuui4qfkeXOBbHNzr06AbHYIHnZaGKMtQp6kvSajBM-7359Jsg3a-w3NTi6F8sCiu_fzUkW6Rzae7Xp_1hElNwG2BKnHnK7x4/s1600-h/windows-7-logo.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXty1zUY8o1Lojb1qmsQBY-A-mqmgG0zVTvNJ4XWWvxwuui4qfkeXOBbHNzr06AbHYIHnZaGKMtQp6kvSajBM-7359Jsg3a-w3NTi6F8sCiu_fzUkW6Rzae7Xp_1hElNwG2BKnHnK7x4/s400/windows-7-logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395338995707562994" /></a><br />As we know, today Microsoft has possibly the biggest product launch of its history with the roll out of Windows 7.

Compare voice with voice mail, voice with SMS or SMS with MMS. <br /><br />The fear of cannibalisation is always present when introducing services but glancing in the rear mirror we should know that when you are improving an existing behaviour the fear is false.<br /><br />2) The users that can access Desktop Messaging, will more easily be able to send SMS and MMS when sitting in front of the computer. This will generate more replies that will generate even more messages. Since the replies will be received on the mobile, and obviously, users do not sit in front of the computer 24/7 the mobile-to-mobile SMS and MMS traffic will actually increase. On top, desktop messaging enables users to easily send pictures stored on the PC and other content provided by the application in a user friendly way.<br /><br />3) <span style="font-weight:bold;">More than 30 % of all messages</span> sent with the desktop messaging application tend to be <span style="font-weight:bold;">longer than 160 characters</span>, which is equivalent to one (1) SMS. This means that 30 % of all the messages being sent will actually <span style="font-weight:bold;">generate two (2) or more messages</span>. <br /><br />How come? When users are being exposed to the simplicity of the Mobispine Desktop service combined with access to the PC keyboard and the bigger PC screen they tend to write SMS as they write their emails, with more words, compared to the minimal character communication typically for mobile-to mobile messaging.<br /><br />4) <span style="font-weight:bold;">SMS is sticky</span>. Once the users are introduced to the simplicity of sending SMS from their PC the snowball effect has started. How many of us can honestly resist getting an SMS without reading it or replying to it.<br /><br />5) Last but not least, the Mobispine Desktop service enables users to easily import, manage and send messages to many at the same time. More and more are discovering the advantages <span style="font-weight:bold;">using SMS as a mass communication, reminder and marketing tool.</span><br /><br />This is a key advantage especially for business users. <br />Imagine the storeowner communicating to 10 000 VIP customers that the sale is on. <br />Now imagine doing the same from your mobile phone. <br /><br />We see this happen every day and as a result some users reach up to 6 digit numbers of sent messages per month. <br /><br />So, don’t be afraid of cannibalisation on SMS when introducing desktop messaging. Let your customers embrace the service and you will most likely end up with more loyal customers than you had before. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Pandelis Eliopoulos<br />VP Marketing, MobispineUnknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-85902071844309225672009-10-01T12:29:00.003+02:002009-10-01T14:45:36.070+02:00Happy birthday Per!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtLFoYGIoXsom_AqKyj1in_2l0fhAh6nRdH6tlNwBCpFT9UD1nLUc976sRKZJU-NuwaNWzCkOYjAQ42IFUgGqaY8X83nIfdY9aX-x5X_897t8K-HGUafb-b3u-Bxzs_DqoDCP_GUSwuUc/s1600-h/IMG_1269.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtLFoYGIoXsom_AqKyj1in_2l0fhAh6nRdH6tlNwBCpFT9UD1nLUc976sRKZJU-NuwaNWzCkOYjAQ42IFUgGqaY8X83nIfdY9aX-x5X_897t8K-HGUafb-b3u-Bxzs_DqoDCP_GUSwuUc/s200/IMG_1269.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387577933663520626" /></a>Happy birthday today to Per Lundberg, one of our lead developers in Mobispine.

Things have been busy of course but the feedback from customers, partners and co-workers has been overwhelmingly positive. That feels good and I have so many ideas that I want to make happen in Mobispine.<br /><br />We now need to work hard and also do the right things within the company. This will help us become the world leading messaging company. <br /><br />Our desktop messaging products are for sure world-leading if you count number of customers, transactions, desktop clients etc. I also believe we have a strong (leading!?) position in the emotional messaging (Fun Text) space. The fact that leading mobile operators in UK, USA, Germany etc use the Fun Text platform gives us good confidence.<br /><br />We need to make sure we as a company do the following<br />- Continue develop innovative and simple to use messaging products<br />- Increase quallity in all activities we are doing<br />- Be professional & aggressive within sales<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Quality is something for everyone in the company not only QA but Project Management, devs, sales etc...<br /><br />We want our customers and prospects to feel that we are passionate about our products/solutions, the business case we give them and the end-user value.</span><br /><br />I want Mobispine to focus on closing more deals the coming months. We have great opportunities in Scandinavia, Europe and LATAM where we are getting closer to crunch time and decisions.<br /><br />Thanks for your attention!<br />Joakim Hilj<br />CEO, Mobispine ABUnknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707865588524695601.post-17604054673383296202009-07-30T21:32:00.003+02:002009-07-30T21:39:02.381+02:00Fun Text team settles in and products begin to flowSo it is nearly August and the UK team from Fun Text have been part of Mobispine for only a few weeks but already the two teams are working together as one.

Obviously it takes time to<br />a) update your status in one or multiple locations <br />b) read the updates of your friends/followers etc..<br /><br />I think everyone shall try out <a href="http://seesmic.com/">Seesmic</a>. From my point of view it is a great app for both reading status updates and doing status updates to Facebook and Twitter. As it is built on Air it works on both Mac and PC and best of all, they also have a pretty good webapp available to use.<br /><br />So, I suggest you to use <a href="http://seesmic.com/">Seesmic</a> in one or more ways and please let us know what you prefer - A downloaded client on your computer or a webapp. Also let us know why.<br /><br />I guess you all can see how this relates to our clients/web-clients for Mobispine and <a href="http://www2.mobispine.com/products/desktopmessaging.dot">Desktop Messaging</a>..<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />/ JoakimUnknownnoreply@blogger.com6
