Under this section products of current interest will be presented. The concepts may be realised with the aid of some of these products. The products will be provided by the partners of this website. FOSS SMS Suite is a complete solution for services based on interactive SMS (outbound and inbound messages), combined with internet-technology. The foundation is a flexible and powerful framework (the SMS engine). All new products and concepts are based on the framework. In this way we have a very efficient tool for making new prototypes, “proof of concepts”, system integration, and commercial products. The flexible framework, gives us competitive power. We may communicate with market staff and come up with prototypes very fast. FOSS SMS Suite is module based. It’s possible to buy the engine for a starter, and later extend the investment with supplementary modules. The utilisation of the product will change slightly over time, depending on the market. The spring of 2003 we can summarize: FOSS SMS Suite may be sold as a standard package to the market of SME corporations. (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition) The framework may be licenced to development organisations, which will take advantage of it as a SMS Engine or as a basis for tailored services The corporations may use their internal resources to develop SMS Services/ concepts based on FOSS SMS Suite, and integrate it to their own legacy systems. If a software vendor wants to ”plug in” SMS as a communication channel on their product, they can use FOSS SMS Suite as the ”SMS Engine”. The alternative is to develop a similar solution themselves, which will be at high cost and risk. FOSS SMS Suite has a architecture, which makes it possible to incorporate similar functionality for MMS messages when these become more common in the market. Development of new products and concepts can be done in a very cost-effective way. With the aid of FOSS SMS Suite you do prototyping and “proof of concept” in days – not in weeks or months. When business developers can make a simple test of the solution, it's much easier to evaluate the potensial, and make corrections in a early stage.
