Mobile Email De-mystified

Over two-dozen market leaders announce the 1st and only commercially available Mobile Email Optimization Solution.

Phoenix, Arizona – January 17, 2008 - No longer a privilege reserved for the business elite, mobile email is exploding for the masses with consumers around the world rating email as one of their top two must-have’s in their mobile devices. According to analyst predictions, the increasing availability of smarter and less expensive phones will result in a phenomenal 1600% growth rate in the number of business and consumer users with access to mobile email over the next three years. Unlike SMS and MMS, mobile email does not carry hefty per message charges for the sender, can be executed quicker, and can be deployed from existing email systems, making it an appealing medium for marketers. Yet even though companies large and small rely upon email to advertise for, retain, and service their customers, they have been at a loss as to how to harness the power of ‘the killer app’ in an increasingly mobile universe. With the introduction of Pivotal Veracity’s mobile email optimization solution, Pivotal Veracity and over two dozen leading Email Service Providers and Agencies intend to change that.

Pivotal Veracity’s pvIQ Enterprise Platform, the number 1 rated solution for maximizing the deliverability, rendering, reputation, and performance of digital communications, has now been enhanced with a host of critical features and intelligence for mobile email including:

  • The ability to view how the email renders for over 85% of the global Mobile market. In addition to support for all major mobile OS, including BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, and others, clients are able to view their emails in mobile phones from all leading US and international carriers and manufacturers as well as with and without images, and in varying screen sizes.
  • Mobile readiness scoring and validation for emails, landing pages, and websites. To address the limited web browsing capabilities of mobile phones, the solution uses a combination of W3C HTML and mobile standards to assess and score the digital asset, identify both technical and best-practice issues, and provide detailed instructions on what changes are required to maximize the mobile user’s experience.
  • Size, Link, and Image checking. In addition to verifying the functionality of all links and images, the size of the email both with and without images downloaded is assessed with real-time recommendations when the size exceeds best practice mobile email thresholds or will result in a costly and timely user experience.
  • In-depth insider guides on the capabilities of Mobile email readers with exclusive tips on what works and what doesn’t. Based on extensive testing, the guides are the first centralized body of knowledge ever on how to do mobile email right for a broad range of mobile platforms.
  • And more! Collaborative Work Flow Tools, On-the-fly Fix-it capabilities, global Deliverability Tracking, Reputation Management, Benchmarking, and a full suite of professional service offerings round out the pvIQ Enterprise Platform and solidify its position as the top rated solution for optimizing multi-channel digital communications.

“We’re absolutely delighted to announce our new mobile email solution is officially out of beta and is now live – making it the first commercially available solution of its kind ever”, stated Deirdre Baird, CEO of Pivotal Veracity. “We’re equally excited to announce that in addition to being available to all Pivotal Veracity’s direct clients today, over two dozen of our exclusive partners – unequivocally representing the best Email Service Providers and Agencies in the world - are simultaneously bringing this critical solution to thousands of their clients via a combination of our joint mobile technology and service offerings. Together, we intend to make the elusive industry promise of integrated multi-channel communications a reality and today’s announcement is a giant leap in that direction.”
