CHICAGO - July 17, 2001 - Curious Networks™ today introduces Continuum Embedded Edition™, the first mobile-enablement solution designed to help software manufacturers quickly and easily make the leap to wireless. With its open architecture and seamless integration, Continuum Embedded Edition enables software manufacturers to provide mobile access to their products without the costly and time-consuming task of custom development. Already, software providers eGain Communications (Nasdaq: EGAN) and Interface Software have collaborated with Curious Networks to experience how to expand their existing solutions to include all variations of Internet-enabled mobile phones, Palm, RIM, and Windows CE devices, and voice recognition capabilities. |

Curious Networks will spotlight Continuum Embedded Edition at CRM Solutions in association with Customer Contact Week, the largest customer contact management conference and exposition, at Chicago's McCormick Place from July 30 to August 2. |

With the demand for mobile access to information continuing to grow, enterprises are struggling to find viable solutions for their organizations. Many enterprises are overwhelmed by the number of new companies that have emerged to address this need and instead are turning to their existing software vendors for answers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Burdened with the time and cost of mobile-enabling their current solutions, software manufacturers have been unable to meet their customers' new requirements. Recognizing this challenge, Curious Networks expanded its Continuum™ product line by creating the Embedded Edition to help vendors make a smooth transition into the mobile market. |
|
|
|
|
|
"As customers' demand for mobile features increases, software companies need to identify an efficient way to meet that demand without significant and costly changes to their products," said Becky Dierks, wireless analyst with Cahners In-Stat. |
|
|
|
|
|
"Curious Networks' Continuum Embedded Edition offers an excellent remedy to this problem, providing advanced mobile technologies that are integrated with software companies' products, giving customers the mobile capabilities they need from the vendors they know," Dierks added. |
|
|
|
|
|
Curious Networks designed Continuum Embedded Edition from the ground-up to meet the needs of software manufacturers. Key features of the product include:
- Cross-platform compatibility to run in any environment
- Support for all major devices, including all mobile phones, PDAs and voice technologies
- Support for all new devices without change to core product
- Open architecture and APIs to allow for simple integration
- Advanced development model to significantly reduce implementation time
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Software manufacturers will realize the benefits through Continuum Embedded Edition's minimal development effort, risk-free upgrades for new devices, broad platform compatibility, and support for all current and future devices," said Tim Scannel, analyst with Mobile Insights. |
