Ontrack's SMS application platform provides support for delivering messages in Arabic and this provides local advertisers in UAE to reach out to the large section of Arabic Mobile Phone users in the Middle East Region. Ontrack has a development centre in the UAE which provides development and after sales support for Ontrack's UAE customers.

The services will be provided from Ontrack's India Development Centre in Kolkata and the content will be delivered using ETISALAT's gateway in the UAE. The UAE and neighbouring countries have a large number of expatriates from India and Pakistan many of whom are cricket enthusiasts. Many leading brands and retail chains in the UAE have recognized the advertising potential of the Indo-Pak series using text message as a medium to communicate to the large section of the expat population.

Commenting on this development Mr. B Hari, CEO and Managing Director, said "We have developed a robust platform called SMSXprez for providing value added services using SMS as a messaging tool and our technology platform is now quite effective for integrating any business and consumer application which need to deliver instant messages to mobile phones.

Telemail gains momentum in UAE (A report by Stanley Carvalho, Abu Dhabi)

The new TeleMail technology which permits accessing e-mail by phone from text to voice is catching the fancy of companies in the UAE. High prospects are seen for this new technology since many companies use the MS (Microsoft) exchange with which Telemail works very well. Ontrack Systems (UAE) Ltd, the Abu Dhabi-based multinational company with a development center in Fujairah which is involved in TeleMail, is associated with various companies in the private and government sectors.

"We see high prospects for TeleMail in the UAE. It is inexpensive and convenient to use. We are in talks with some major oil companies in the UAE which are likely to opt for the TeleMail technology," said Shaik Hamdan, marketing manager, Ontrack Systems (UAE) Ltd.

TeleMail application lets you or your entire company access your corporate mailboxes through any touchtone telephone, any time and anywhere. It is also simple and allows fast access, with the navigation features allowing quick scanning through any number of messages.

"There are many options. For instance the whole message is read only when the user instructs application to do so, unwanted messages can be deleted and there are also other flexible message review options," said Debasis Roy, project manager Ontrack Systems.
"Basically, TeleMail uses state-of-art text to speech conversion software to actually read your mail through your telephone using synthesized speech. The application is run along with MS exchange mail server," he explained. Adding that the application is connected to the EPABX or to a phone line. The user calls the phone line. The user calls the phone number provided and is connected to the application. Once connected, the user must identity himself by providing a pre-configured set of numbers, which can be entered using the phone dial. The technology was introduced in India last September.
"However, the concept didn't take off very well in the Indian market because most companies use Lotus Notes or the Mercury Server and not the MS exchange mail server."
"We see high prospects in the whole GCC region, but our focus in now the UAE market," said Roy.
TeleMail is also integrated with SMS and through SMS it is customized. "In other words, mail arrival is informed through SMS".
Ontrack is also pushing a new product Cowork, that enhances productivity. "It is a collaborative tool to share your document, simplifies the job and suits any type of business," said Roy, adding that most corporates are opting for this product. They include banks, hospitals and insurance companies.

A small contribution for the visually impaired

Not run by profit motive alone. Ontrack is quite alive to its social responsibilities as well. As its humble contribution to the world of visually impaired, Ontrack has developed a website-www.assamblind.com- for Janamangal Adarsha Andha Bidyalaya, a blind school in Moran district in Assam, set up by Major Bruno Banerjee way back in 1971. Over the decades, with the help of many a leading personalities in the corporate sector, philanthropists and philanthropical institutions and other segments of the society, this school is being developed as a rehabilitation center not only for the people of Moran alone but also for other visually impaired in Assam and other north eastern states. Ontrack deems it a great privilege to add its efforts to this huge humanitarian work.
