Mobile Alerts by QWASI

PHILADELPHIA, December 31, 2009 – QWASI Inc., a leading enterprise mobile applications company providing interactive solutions is enabling businesses to communicate with their employees and internal customers on a broader scale. QWASI recently launched its Mobile Alerts service with Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest online retail lender and 6th largest retail mortgage lender, to communicate internal urgent messages, such as emergencies, potential outages or other important information to employees.

Designed to alert associates throughout the company of urgent notifications, QWASI’s Mobile Alerts allows department administrators across the organization to send important and timely SMS (text messages) to people within the department, team or enterprise. It also gives them the ability to broadcast region-wide messages to their remote workers. Since alert messages are sent via SMS to subscribers, the message is delivered within seconds to employee cell phones.

“Mobile Alerts is an efficient way for us to quickly and succinctly alert our team members of urgent information,” said Frank Laura, Quicken Loans CIO. “Our people are tech savvy and always connected, so enacting a streamlined way to alert them after hours is an important service that QWASI’s technology allows us to provide.”

QWASI also powers Mobile Alerts and Enterprise Communication solutions for Fortune 500 companies, small to medium-sized businesses, churches, non-profits and other political organizations. Similar text message alert systems have been deployed for colleges, universities, school campuses, mass transit, hospitals, and the like. These alerts can be critical in providing vital information in emergencies and giving crucial details that would be helpful in getting more information about the event or crisis.

“Our mobile alerts platform allows any company to send important information about an urgent situation, even when the company server or power is down,” states David Geipel, COO of QWASI, Inc. “We’re pleased to be working with Quicken Loans to power their internal mobile alert system.”
