FusionOne Announces Network Address Book

SAN JOSE, Calif.  June 17, 2008 -- FusionOne, a leading provider of mobile phone backup and transfer services, today announced the availability of FusionOne Network Address Book, a new service that brings together address books across a wide range of communications services, providing end-users with the ability to globally access and manage their address books.

Currently, most people have many different address books: their email accounts, their mobile phone, and the friends lists on their social networks. Up until now, they have had to manage and edit all of these lists individually, but with FusionOne Network Address Book, they can now organize and manage all of their address books through a single interface and share their contacts across their different address books and social networks.

FusionOne Network Address Book automatically keeps all contacts up-to-date across numerous applications and devices including mobile and landline phones, email, instant messaging, and Web 2.0 services. Operators can now increase customer satisfaction and usability and reduce churn by simplifying their subscribers contact management tasks and communication exchanges.

For many mobile users, the idea of re-entering contact information in each device and application can be daunting, said Mohan Sadashiva, senior vice president of marketing for FusionOne. The FusionOne Network Address Book eliminates the need for replicating those lists. It allows subscribers to access their latest contacts from anywhere at any time.

This service gives operators the opportunity to develop and successfully deploy rich applications, said Perry LaForge, founder and chairman of the CDMA Development Group. It will be ideal for those providers looking to build applications based on mobile social networks and advanced messaging.

 

FusionOne and EMBARQ to Provide Unified Address Book Capabilities

 

SAN JOSE, Calif.  June 17, 2008 -- FusionOne, a leading provider of mobile phone backup and restore services, and EMBARQ, a provider of a complete suite of communications services, today announced a relationship that will enable EMBARQ to offer one of the industrys first centralized, native address book solutions that integrates with the companys current and future communications services. EMBARQ will be the first communications company to roll out this FusionOne service.

Offering innovative solutions to our customers is the key to our success, said Dennis Huber, senior vice president of corporate strategy and development for EMBARQ. We value our relationship with FusionOne and look forward to working with them to develop new services for our customers.

EMBARQ expects to launch the service in tandem with FusionOnes industry-leading MightyBackup mobile content protection solution, which provides subscribers the added benefit of being able to restore their mobile address book data if their phone is ever lost, stolen, or upgraded. All FusionOne services are hosted on the companys secure, carrier-grade data centers.

The FusionOne Network Address Book is a natural progression from our traditional backup and restore service offerings, said Tamara Steffens, senior vice president of customer operations for FusionOne. We believe that this experience, coupled with EMBARQs commitment to providing innovative products and services to its customers, will make the availability of the FusionOne Network Address Book a huge success.
