services, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Qualcomm to offer BREW^® application restore to devices for BREW operators. The agreement enables Qualcomm’s application restore client server module to be integrated with FusionOne’s proprietary MightyBackup client server product.

FusionOne’s MightyBackup service offers numerous benefits, which can include:

operator brand loyalty, customer satisfaction and retention
increased revenue flow via easy device migration and backup
continuous subscription revenue and prevention of revenue leakage for content providers

A recent FusionOne survey conducted by Market Tools, Inc. indicates that 44 percent of mobile phone users delay upgrading their devices because they don’t have an easy way to restore their content and only 13 percent repurchase some or all of their licensed content when they replace their mobile phone.

“Offering a complete backup solution for BREW operators will address an important business need,” said Mitch Oliver, vice president of solutions and marketing for Qualcomm Internet Services. “BREW Operators can now provide mobile phone users the option of restoring their licensed BREW applications when they upgrade or change their hardware.”

“This is a great opportunity for operators to offer a complete back-up service to their customers and will provide tremendous benefits to everyone involved—from operators to mobile phone users,” said Perry LaForge, founder, chairman and executive director of the CDMA Development Group.

“By using Qualcomm’s application restore client server module, we are creating a better back-up experience for BREW operators,” said Mike Mulica, chief executive officer of FusionOne. “With more and more mobile users downloading licensed content on to their phones, they need a reliable and secure back-up solution that will save all of their valued content when their phone needs to be replaced.”

FusionOne’s MightyBackup service, which is used by numerous global carriers, protects nearly half a billion mobile phone contacts. MightyBackup, built on the robust and patented FusionOne Mobile Platform, wirelessly backs up the mobile phone address book and other licensed content to FusionOne’s secure data center, keeps the information continually up-to-date and automatically restores the records when the user replaces or upgrades their mobile phone. This affordable service enables online management of the address book, automatic recovery of information and secure protection for the valuable contact information stored on a user’s mobile phone. The MightyBackup service is currently available on both the BREW solution and Java platform.
