KIRYAT BIALIK, Israel and LAS VEGAS, March 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Integrated Software Development Ltd. (ISD) (Other OTC:ITWJ.PK - News), a provider of enterprise software aimed at small-and medium-sized enterprises, today announced that it has recently entered into an agreement with OfficeCore Ltd. for the joint product development of new features for BENEFIT
OfficeCore is a leading developer of WAP-based solutions. WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol, and is an open, global specification that empowers mobile users with wireless devices to easily and instantly access and interact with information and services over the Internet.
``Our objective is to extend the reach of BENEFIT's capabilities,'' says Moti Maram, ISD's CEO. ``With BENEFIT Anywhere, we have seen company managers take advantage of accessing critical information to their computers from the CRM system while traveling. Now, we want to empower managers to operate under a truly mobile environment.''
The planned interface will allow employees to receive their job scheduling via SMS messages to their cellphones or mobile PDAs. In addition, the system can be updated from the field, showing the progress of jobs performed from their inception to their completion.
``We are ready now to go to trials with this jointly developed system,'' adds Maram. ``We're very excited about the marketing opportunities this creates for ISD. For our existing customers this upgrade will represent a major boost for their operations. And for new potential customers, the fully loaded BENEFIT system will be far better than any competing products. Managers will be able to make true real-time decisions, while more effectively dispatching and managing their workforce in the field.''
